A Few Things to Know Before You Go
Reservations are recommended: You can reserve your ride online or in person, but it’s a good idea to book ahead, especially on busy days. The bumper cars are available in 45-minute booking windows, and rides are offered on a first-come, first-served basis within that window.
Price: Rides start at $24.83 per person and up.
Be on time. Make sure to arrive on time. To guarantee your ride, be sure to show up at the time you selected when booking your ticket.
There are some age & size requirements: Children must be at least 7 years old as well as at least 42 inches tall. In addition, flat, closed-toe shoes are required for safety reasons.
Certain actions are not allowed: First, it’s one person per car, so no sharing with your little ones. For safety reasons, both children and belongings are not allowed to sit on laps during the ride. Phones and cameras need to be put away while you’re on the ice.
And just a heads-up: Pregnant riders are unable to join for safety reasons, so it’s best to skip this one if you’re expecting.
More Icy Fun
While you’re at Bryant Park for the bumper cars, don’t miss out on all the other winter fun the Bank of America Winter Village has to offer.

The Winter Village is open daily from 8 am. to 10 pm, with extended hours until midnight on select weekends and holidays. So, after you’ve had your fill of bumper car fun, lace up your skates and make a full day of it.
