Frog Pond Ice Skating was absolutely magical during Christmas time! The decorations, lights, and holiday music made it feel straight out of a winter movie. We had such a blast skating and soaking in the festive atmosphere.

★★★★★ Rachel, Oct 2025

The nighttime ice skating at Frog Pond is truly enchanting. The combination of Christmas music, twinkling lights, and the dark sky creates a magical winter wonderland. Despite occasional lines, the quick entry and convenient location make it a worthwhile experience.

★★★★★ Abbey, Dec 2024

A great place to rest your feet 🦶 🦶 by either taking off 📴 your shoes 👟 and soak or just walk around in the warm water 💦. Toddlers can play ▶️ in the sprinklers or roll around in the water. There was an employee scooping out leaves with a pool net.

★★★★☆ Stephen, Aug 2025

The pond wasn't open on the day I went but still took cute pictures with these guys. The park itself is beautiful and a nice size, great area for a day in the park lots of trees around.
