Join us on the ice for Skating With Friends, our FREE skate day at the Frog Pond, Sunday, February 15 from 10 AM—8 PM. Our way of saying thank you to the Boston community, Skating With Friends invites skaters of all ages and experience levels to enjoy the ice at no cost, with free admission and skate rentals, and complimentary hot chocolate available throughout the day. The Skating With Friends program reflects the ongoing partnership between the Friends of the Public Garden and The Skating Club of Boston, which supports skating and other programming at the Frog Pond throughout the year.

Both Skating With Friends and Skating at Lunch are first come, first served, with capacity limits in place to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants. Sessions will be held at 10 AM, 12 PM, 2 PM, 4 PM, and 6 PM. Limit 225 skaters per session. 

Building on the success of Skating With Friends, we’re launching Skating At Lunch, a new midday skating series designed for flexible schedules, curious beginners, and anyone craving a stimulating break in the middle of the day.

Skating At Lunch sessions will be held:

Thursday, January 29 | 12 – 2 PM

Thursday, February 5 | 12 – 2 PM

Thursday, February 12 | 12 – 2 PM

Admission and skate rentals are FREE—skate for 30 minutes or stay the full two hours—it’s entirely up to you. Skating At Lunch also includes discounted lunch offers right at the Frog Pond Cafe, making it easy to enjoy a great midday interlude.
