Boston's Best: Outdoor Ice Skating

Though the weather outside is frightful, don’t let winter and its chilly temperatures put a dent in your plans for outdoor fun in Boston. Sure, the days of basking in the summer sun are a distant memory, but the arrival of a new season brings its own offering of recreational opportunities. In particular, ice skating is a wonderful way to enjoy the brisk winter weather and get in the holiday spirit. Luckily, there are quite a few spots in Boston that allow you to lace up a pair of skates and hit the ice. Here are your best bets for ice skating in Boston this holiday season.

Frog Pond
For many Bostonians, no holiday season is complete without a trip to Frog Pond. This ice skating rink is centrally located on Boston Common, and is surrounded by trees with twinkling lights.

Prudential Center Rink
As you finish up your holiday shopping at the Prudential Center, take a break to skate a few laps around the Prudential Center Rink. This location is the newest addition to the downtown skating venues.

Faneuil Hall Skating Rink
Whoever said bigger is better clearly hasn’t gone ice skating at the rink at Faneuil Hall. Albeit a bit small, this newer fixture in the winter recreation scene offers restrooms, food vendors, discounted parking, and is easily accessible by public transportation.

Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation
There are a number of ice skating rinks run by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. Located in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, Kelly Skating Rink offers an outdoor ice skating experience with free admission and dirt-cheap skate rental.

Those who embrace the cold weather can lace up a pair of skates at one of the many ice rinks around the city. Whether you recently decided to buy a home in Boston or are a lifelong resident, it’s never too late to establish this holiday tradition that will carry on for years to come. If you’re visiting for the holidays and are planning to buy a home in the area, please let me know if I can be of any assistance! I’d be honored to guide you through the Boston real estate market in 2014 and beyond.

  2. Ice skates for kids come in even more styles than adult skates, so it is very important to take some time and do some research before making a purchase.
