Please feel free to call ahead to confirm whether the rink is open on the day you plan to visit.

Guests are welcome to bring their own skates, but please note that the Garden does not provide storage for skates or other personal belongings.
The Garden’s new skating rink is made from Glice, a synthetic alternative to conventional ice that eliminates the need for refrigeration systems, loud generators, and other electric-powered components required to keep water surfaces frozen. Produced by a company of the same name, Glice provides a smooth and seamless skating experience. Glice rinks are installed in panels that are repurposed after their use. This and other eco-friendly production practices make up the Glice commitment to sustainability, which you can learn more about here.
