About public skating
Public skating, also called open skate or a public session, is a set time when anyone can pay admission and skate. It's different from rink time booked for a party, a team, a class or a private event. Rinks post their public session schedule, and it changes by day and season. Some sessions are set aside for families, all ages, teens or adults.
