What Is UBS Arena?
UBS Arena is the home of the New York Islanders (NHL) and a major multi-purpose concert and event venue, located on the Belmont Park property in Elmont, just across the Queens-Nassau border. It opened in 2021 with a seating capacity around 17,000 for hockey and adjusts for concert and event configurations.
UBS Arena hosts the full Islanders home schedule from September through April, plus playoff hockey and a steady slate of arena concerts, family shows, and boxing cards throughout the year. The arena shares its footprint with the Belmont Park thoroughbred track, and the Elmont-UBS Arena LIRR station opened on the LIRR Main Line to give the venue its own dedicated rail stop. Drivers use the Cross Island Parkway north and the Hempstead Turnpike to reach the main arena lots.
How to Get There From Terp Bros Ozone Park
Terp Bros NYC Ozone Park sits roughly 10 miles southwest of UBS Arena. By car, the drive runs about 20 to 30 minutes depending on Belt Parkway and Cross Island Parkway traffic. For Islanders games and big concerts, the LIRR Elmont-UBS Arena station is the cleanest transit option.
From 135-26 Cross Bay Boulevard, the most direct driving route is Cross Bay north to the Belt Parkway, east to the Cross Island Parkway, and north to Hempstead Turnpike. Traffic tightens significantly in the last 30 minutes before puck drop or show time, so locals often leave earlier and fold the Terp Bros stop into the outbound leg. For transit riders, the LIRR Elmont-UBS Arena station runs dedicated service on event days; from Queens, connect at Jamaica Station. Many Islanders fans also drive to the Elmont LIRR station and take the short train hop. Parking around our Ozone Park shop is generally available along Cross Bay Boulevard and the side streets off 135th Avenue.
What to Order Before UBS Arena
Pre-order ahead of your visit to UBS Arena on our menu and choose pickup. Orders are typically ready in 15 to 30 minutes, which is faster than trying to find a stop near Elmont or fighting event-day traffic on the Cross Island. Every product is lab-tested under NY OCM standards.
A UBS Arena night can stretch several hours, whether it is a full Islanders game or a big-touring concert. The arena enforces smoke-free rules on the concourse, bowl, and adjacent pavilion, so on-site consumption is not an option. Budtenders at our Ozone Park shop steer arena-bound shoppers toward sealed, low-dose products that pair with a long evening rather than anything meant for in-arena use. Keep factory-sealed packaging intact while you are on venue property, and plan to enjoy your purchase at home before or after.

Arena shoppers ask the standard event-day questions about on-site rules, sealed product transport, and whether Terp Bros has a formal relationship with the Islanders or the arena. Short answers follow.
Is it legal to consume at UBS Arena? Cannabis consumption rules vary by venue. Most public-park and landmark policies mirror the NYC Smoke-Free Air Act, which restricts smoking on property. Arenas set their own concourse and bowl rules. See Where You Can Smoke.
Can I bring my purchase inside UBS Arena? Sealed, unopened packages generally fall under normal possession rules (up to 3 ounces of flower or 24 grams of concentrate). The arena runs its own bag-size and bag-check policy at entrances, and concert and playoff nights can add screenings.
Does Terp Bros sponsor or partner with UBS Arena? No. Terp Bros NYC is an independent CAURD-licensed dispensary operating under NY OCM License OCM-CAURD-23-000020 (Astoria) / OCM-CAURD-25-000294 (Ozone Park). We provide practical information for customers attending games or concerts and have no formal relationship with the Islanders or UBS Arena.
What First-Time Queens Shoppers Should Know About the UBS Arena Route
First-time UBS Arena visitors from Queens often underestimate how the Cross Island Parkway and Hempstead Turnpike back up in the hour before puck drop. A few practical notes, plus the reminder that every product at Terp Bros is lab-tested under NY OCM standards, will keep your night on schedule.
Bring valid government-issued ID showing 21 or older; the check happens at our Ozone Park door and at the arena gate. Order on the menu before leaving home so your pickup is ready on the way out. If you are going to a weeknight Islanders game, plan the dispensary stop for the outbound leg rather than the return, because the late-night ride home is faster and you will have been on your feet for hours. If you are taking the LIRR to the Elmont-UBS Arena station, connect at Jamaica Station and time the Terp Bros stop before your rail trip rather than during. Keep every package factory-sealed while you are at the arena, and plan to enjoy your purchase off-property. Never drive under the influence; the rideshare queue at UBS Arena runs on event-day management plans.
How the UBS Arena Route Compares Across Queens Neighborhoods
UBS Arena sits right on top of Belmont Park and shares the same highway rhythm, but it draws a different crowd than the track. Understanding the differences helps you plan the Terp Bros stop precisely.
Compared with Belmont Park, which hosts race cards primarily during spring and fall NYRA meets, UBS Arena runs the full NHL regular season plus concerts year-round, so traffic patterns are more consistent. Compared with Citi Field, where the 7 train does most of the work, UBS Arena relies heavily on the Cross Island and LIRR. Compared with Aqueduct Racetrack, which is closer to Terp Bros Ozone Park, UBS Arena is further east and calls for more travel time. Compared with Resorts World NYC, which is open 24 hours and has no fixed stop time, UBS Arena runs on a defined event schedule that keeps the night tighter. Practical takeaway: make Terp Bros Ozone Park your outbound pickup, use the LIRR Elmont-UBS Arena station when you can, and keep every package sealed on venue property.
What Budtenders Hear Most About the UBS Arena Route to Terp Bros
Ozone Park budtenders field the same questions from arena-bound shoppers every week: what to pick for a long hockey night or concert, whether sealed product can travel onto the concourse, and whether our shop is really the closest licensed option for Elmont-bound fans from Queens.
On product choice for arena nights, they steer shoppers toward 2.5 mg to 5 mg edibles, low-dose THC beverages, and sealed pre-rolls. That combination fits a three-period Islanders schedule or a full concert set without pushing anyone past where they want to be. On venue rules, the answer is consistent: sealed packaging under the 3-ounce flower and 24-gram concentrate personal-possession ceiling travels with you, arena security runs bag-check screens, and on-site use is not allowed. On proximity, Terp Bros NYC Ozone Park is the closest CAURD-licensed shop on the outbound route to UBS Arena for most Queens fans, operating under NY OCM License OCM-CAURD-23-000020 (Astoria) / OCM-CAURD-25-000294 (Ozone Park). Delivery to Glen Oaks, Bellerose, and Jamaica runs through the cannabis delivery page, and every unit on the shelf is lab-tested under NY OCM standards.
