Forget curling up on the couch this winter—New Yorkers can now embrace the thrill of curling while overlooking the breathtaking skyline of Manhattan. Edge, the highest indoor/outdoor sky deck in the city, has unveiled its new winter pop-up, the Sky Chalet, where visitors can enjoy a unique curling experience and take in stunning views 1,100 feet above the bustling streets below.
The Sky Chalet invites both novices and seasoned curlers to participate in this classic winter sport. Curling involves sliding stones on a sheet of ice toward a target, combining strategy, precision, and teamwork. At Edge, the team is committed to making the game accessible for everyone, ensuring that you’ll be sliding stones like a pro in no time.
But it’s not just about the curling—the panoramic views of iconic landmarks such as the Empire State Building, Columbus Circle, and the Hudson River will leave you in awe. This winter escape runs from January 17 through March 16, making it the perfect activity for friends, families, or even corporate outings looking for something different.
Curling and Cocktails: A Perfect Pairing
At the Sky Chalet, curling is just the beginning. Guests can also indulge in a selection of specialty cocktails and seasonal treats that complement the winter wonderland experience. Picture yourself sipping a warm spiced drink while waiting for your turn on the ice—it’s the perfect way to enjoy the season.
Tickets for the curling experience include a 50-minute session on a private lane, giving you ample time to master the art of sliding stones. Pricing is designed to accommodate groups of all sizes: $99 for up to two people, $199 for up to four, and $399 for up to eight. Given that standard admission to Edge ranges from $40 to $60 per person, curling tickets offer great value for those looking to make the most of their visit.
For those who like to snack while they play, special food and beverage packages are available. Options include non-alcoholic drinks, assorted chips, and a choice of a chicken-and-waffle platter or a hot dog platter. These packages add a delightful culinary twist to your curling adventure.
An All-Weather Winter Wonderland
One of the standout features of the Sky Chalet is that it provides a cozy, all-weather environment for curling enthusiasts. Regardless of the temperature outside, you can enjoy the thrill of sliding stones while surrounded by the beauty of the Manhattan skyline.
The curling experience at Edge is designed for everyone, but parents should note that children under 10 may need a bit of guidance from adults. This family-friendly atmosphere makes it an excellent outing for those looking to create winter memories in the city.
