By city

Counts are outdoor and seasonal rinks; each city page lists every skating rink there.

Before you go outdoor skating

  1. Check the season. Outdoor rinks open and close with the weather. Opening dates change every year, and warm days or rain can close the rink. Check the rink's website or social pages on the day you go.
  2. Dress for the weather. Wear layers, a hat and gloves, and bring a dry pair of socks. Evenings get cold fast.
  3. Ask about rentals. Not every outdoor rink rents skates or has a warming room. Check before you go, or bring your own.
  4. Stay on the rink. Skate only where the rink is open and maintained, not on nearby ponds or lakes unless the local authorities say the ice is safe.
