Ice skating is a fun winter activity that everyone can enjoy! It’s great for families, kids, adults, a group of friends or a date night idea. There are several outdoor/seasonal rinks in and around Fairfax County as well as in Washington, DC. Locations included in our guide are Reston Town Center, Tysons Corner, Pentagon Row in Arlington, Harris Pavilion in Manassas; and National Gallery of Art, Washington Harbor and Canal Park in Washington, DC.  We also have several indoor ice skating rinks in Northern Virginia that are open year round.  Check out our list of places to skate here. Most outdoor rinks are open through March. Some of them offer special events, skating lessons and leagues. Check their website for detailed information. Have fun and see you on the ice!
