Community Ice Skating @ Kendall

This pretty outdoor rink—the surrounding trees are strung with fairy lights—is located in Kendall Square’s North Plaza, off Athenaeum Street, and is open December through March, weather permitting. There is a concession with skate rentals; lessons are available, and the rink is available for private events—check ahead before venturing out. Locker rental and skate sharpening are available for a fee. There is a snack bar, but all your favorite Kendall Square eateries are nearby for a post skate warm-up.
