Ice Skating Around the DMV

Few things speak to the most wonderful time of the year more than ice skating. Whether you’re making it a friend or family outing, or adding a bit of romance by gliding across the ice with your favorite paramour, it’s a beautiful (albeit sometimes chilly) way to spend some time doing something sweet and fun with people you love.

Throughout the area, ice skating rinks are popping up for the season, allowing folks to get their skate on all winter long. Outdoor skating rinks have become very popular, and although they’re dependent on sometimes-iffy weather, most rinks are open from mid-November to early March. Indoor rinks offer non-weather-dependent fun, so we also included those in our list for aspiring hockey players and figure skaters.

Fees and Hours vary for each location. Please visit the website for the most accurate information.
