Plan your visit
The rink skates under the pavilion roof at Veterans Plaza in downtown Silver Spring, beside the Civic Building. Admission tickets are valid for up to two hours, and online reservations open two weeks in advance — the operator discounts reserved tickets, so booking ahead is the cheaper way in. Hours run seven days a week, longest on Fridays and Saturdays.
What makes this rink distinctive
One of the Washington area’s longest-running seasonal rinks: an outdoor sheet under a pavilion roof, more than 400 pairs of rental skates from toddler size 7 up, and a season that stretches from late October to mid-March — longer than most holiday rinks.
