Update: Due to popular demand, bumper car sessions have been extended through Feb 24, according to a tweet from Bryant Park. Reserve your spot here!
If you're experiencing the post-holiday blues, Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park provides a great reason to embrace the best winter activities for kids...even if you're starting to dream about your summer bucket list.
Head to FrostFrest 2019 for the ultimate cold-weather experience. Until Feb 3, park goers will be able to enjoy a wide range of activities that won't be available when the ice thaws, particularly bumper cars. Get a taste of Coney Island a few months early thanks to those epic FrostFest bumper cars (for riders who are 7+) with a cold-weather twist. The Bank of America Winter Village rink will become the main spot where visitors can participate in 10-minute rides ($15) of driving and thumping into one another. Don't wait until May for amusement park thrills—get 'em now!

The excitement doesn't stop there. There will be other events taking place on the ice, such as a skating showcase on Friday at 6pm, that will bring the Olympics to NYC. Catch moves from Johnny Weir, 2018 Olympic Gold Medalist Gabrielle Daleman and other amazing performers. When the temperature dips, reserve an igloo where you and your fam can munch on seasonal treats. Don't forget to explore the Saturday lineup that's catered to kiddos, which includes ice fishing at 11am and puppet shows at 2pm. Sound like the perfect way to spend the weekend, if you ask us!
