In addition, Wollman Rink’s rinkside tent has been transformed into the Nordstrom Chill Lounge for the holidays as part of the Premier Pass experience. Visitors have the option to upgrade their rink admission for Nordstrom Chill Lounge access, which includes expedited rink entry, skate rental concierge service, cozy “fireside” seating, complimentary coffee, hot chocolate, tea and refreshments, as well as a dedicated tent attendant and locker.
