Best skating rinks, state by state

Each list ranks rinks by Google rating weighted by how many people left a review, so a rink needs both a high rating and a deep stack of reviews to place well.

How the ranking works

Score = Google rating × log10(1 + number of Google reviews). The log keeps a few thousand reviews from swamping everything else, while a handful of five-star reviews still can't beat a long track record. A 5.0 from 12 reviews scores 5.6; a 4.8 from 900 reviews scores 14.2.

Only rinks with 10 or more reviews count. Roller and ice rinks are ranked together. A high score means a lot of customers were happy, not that a rink is right for you: check that it has the sessions or program you want. Ratings and review counts come from Google and change over time.
