Believe it or not, outdoor ice skating is almost here. The picturesque open-air rink at the National Gallery of Art’s sculpture garden will reopen before Thanksgiving on November 20, weather permitting.
Starting then, skaters can glide about the rink—surrounded by museums, monuments, and art—every day of the week, from 11 AM to 9 PM on Sunday through Thursday and until 11 PM on Friday and Saturday . Like last year, admission costs $12 for adults and $10 for children under the age of 12, adults over age 60, service members, and students with an ID. Feel free to bring your own skates or rent a pair for $6; free lockers are available on a first come, first serve basis. And, of course, don’t forget those warm, wintry drinks, such as cocoa, hot cider, and pumpkin spice lattes, inside the Pavilion Café .
Should you feel inspired by the pros or simply want some pointers, the Washington Elite Skating School offers private and group lessons for all ages and abilities (more detailsPhotograph courtesy of the National Gallery of Art.
