Hobey Baker Memorial Ice Rink — Attraction in Princeton

This is our favorite classic rink in the Northeast—our son has been playing here since he was a mite! The rink has such a nostalgic vibe, and you can really feel the history, dating back to the 1930s. It’s a great spot for both hockey fans and those who appreciate the charm of an old-school venue.

There’s a convenient free parking deck just across the street at the train station, which makes it easy to park. We arrived early and walked over to Roots Ocean Prime for a bite to eat. The restaurant is just a short stroll away, and we enjoyed sitting at the bar, watching the Rutgers football game, and having some delicious appetizers. The sliders were particularly amazing—definitely a highlight!

All in all, it’s a great experience—whether you're there for the hockey or just enjoying...

Very family friendly and always lots of little kids enjoying the game. Nice historical display at one corner of the rink covering Hobey’s life/hockey and the Princeton hockey teams. Small concessions area at the north end of the rink. Easy in/out if you drive there with a big parking deck and nice new pub/restaurant about 50 feet from the rink. Go here if you...

Amazing facility, except the snack bar has one register open and they charge stadium prices. If you want to pay $3 for a tiny sad coffee or $4 for a pretzel or hot dog that's nowhere near fresh go here. I will never go here again because amazing facility with good ice and good hockey + total rip off food and drinks because they know you're stuck there =...
