The RINK, open and covered, has an area of 14,000 square feet, the surface is laid with Plimpton’s patent Pitch Pine Floor, and the Skates are in perfect condition. ENTRANCE FROM PALACE. By Aquarium Staircase; and from Upper Terrace by Monkey House.
OPEN DAILY (MAY to OCTOBER), From 10 till 1, 2 till close of Palace, excepting on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and on all Firework and FÊte Days, when the hours are 10 till 1, 2 till 6, and 7 till 9.30, with a Band in attendance. As a fashionable and invigorating exercise, Skating stands unrivalled. With Ladies and Children the delightful art of Skating is more easily acquired on roller than on ice Skates, and the newly-laid patented floor is universally considered a superior medium to asphalte or Portland cement. The amusement afforded to onlookers rivals any of the numerous attractions of the Crystal Palace. N.B.—The New OPEN-AIR RINK, which is in shade after 2 o’clock, commands a fine view of the unrivalled Gardens and the Kentish Hills, and affords, perhaps, the pleasantest lounge (combined with the amusement of the Rink) within the precincts of the Palace.
