Outdoor Ice Rinks Near Boston

Outdoor rinks whose listings say outdoor, including Frog Pond and neighborhood rinks filed under their own city names. No 2026 opening dates or ticket prices are in the data. Confirm both with the rink.

Boston's qualifying listings are outdoor by their own words, not holiday brands. Boston Common Frog Pond's listing says the pond is a spray pool in summer and an outdoor ice-skating rink in winter, with a snack bar and a carousel. Emmons Horrigan O'Neil Memorial Rink in Charlestown, MA says it is an outdoor ice rink open November through March, with public skate and skate rentals.

That November-through-March line is the listing's own season note, not a date we set for 2026.

Kelly Outdoor Rink is filed under Jamaica Plain, not under the city name Boston. The listing calls it an open-air neighborhood rink and says it is open seasonally. Paw Paw Pond in Hanover, MA is a pond categorized as an ice skating rink.

A pond listing is not the same thing as a staffed city rink, so read that page before you treat it like Frog Pond. Charlestown and Jamaica Plain are separate city names in this directory even when skaters think of them as Boston.

2 of these 4 listings do not publish weekly hours. Where hours are listed, confirm that they are public skate and not just the building. Nothing here includes a 2026 opening date or a ticket price. Both change by rink and by season, and they are not in the listing data.

Use the rink page for the address and any hours on file, then confirm the date and the price with the rink. Seasonal listings that never say outdoor stay on the Christmas page. More cities are on the outdoor ice skating guide.

Frequently asked questions

Which listings near Boston are holiday or seasonal pop-ups?

None of the listings on this page rely on holiday wording. They are here because the name or description says the ice is outdoors, or the name is a skating ribbon, ice trail, or pond. That still does not include a 2026 opening date. Confirm hours with the rink.

Do you list 2026 ticket prices near Boston?

No. Ticket prices are not in these listings. Hours, when the Google listing publishes them, are on each rink page as of October 8, 2026. Public skate can be shorter than those hours, and a holiday rink can be closed on a mild day. Confirm the session and the price with the rink.

How many outdoor and holiday rinks are near Boston?

We list 4 here, led by Boston Common Frog Pond in Boston. A rink is listed only when its own name or description says the ice is outdoors, names a skating ribbon, ice trail, or skating pond, or names a seasonal or holiday rink without describing the ice as indoor.

An outdoor pool, playground, or shop category does not count. Holiday pop-ups change dates every year. Opening dates and ticket prices are not in this data, so confirm both with the rink.

Which rink ranks first?

Boston Common Frog Pond in Boston, MA ranks first here, with a 4.6 Google rating from 1,760 reviews. Rankings weigh the rating by how many reviews sit behind it.

Which of these list Sunday hours?

2 of the 4 rinks on this page list Sunday hours, including Boston Common Frog Pond and Paw Paw Pond. Public sessions inside those hours change, so confirm with the rink.

How do you decide what appears here?

A rink is listed only when its own name or description says the ice is outdoors, names a skating ribbon, ice trail, or skating pond, or names a seasonal or holiday rink without describing the ice as indoor. An outdoor pool, playground, or shop category does not count.

Holiday pop-ups change dates every year. Opening dates and ticket prices are not in this data, so confirm both with the rink. Details come from each rink's public Google listing as of October 8, 2026.
