 Outdoor skating on historic Boston Common |
1 Beacon Street Boston, MA 02115 United States +1 617 635 2120 http://www.cityofboston.gov/pa... |
This concrete formation is a wading pool in summer, but it is its winter incarnation as a 16,000-foot outdoor skating rink that gets the most use. On crisp Boston nights, there may be nothing better than a twirl on the ice beneath the trees of the Boston Common and the lights of downtown skyscrapers. You may even have an audience—crowds often gather on the rail around the pond to watch the skaters glide. Admission: $4 Adults; free for children under 13. Skate rental is $5.
