The Wharf Ice Rink in Washington, District of Columbia

“Pretty ice rink on water Very pretty and unique experience to have in winter at DC. I went there on Saturday which was not too crowded on the ice rink. I think the ticket itself is a bit too expensive but i guess that is the inflation we see. I think the best time is to go right before the sunset. It is very pretty and I got a great view of it. It is also pretty at night. Bigger than ice rink at inner harbor baltimor”

“Great location with a cozy vibe on the wharf waterfront. However, this rink costs nearly twice as much as the other outdoor rinks in the area while also being much smaller and with worse rink condition. It was not terribly busy and I even got a few minutes of the rink to myself in a Friday evening, but it was also frigid and I hear this rink gets busy on weekends.”

“Very expensive. 60$ for 1 adult and 3 kids plus skate rentals. Rink is small. Nice ambiance though. Beautiful place for photos. I like that you're not given only a few hours to skate, you get to stay as long as you want.”

“Super nice spot to do some ice skating ! With a very good mood and music. But the TV is little to far to see & skate in the same time ud83eudd23”

“Probably one of the most beautiful rinks in DC. You can hear the geese and birds, see the water and smell the food. Very enjoyable place.”

“Such an amazing rink. The views of the water & decor make for a beautiful scene. Rink staff is friendly & kind, I rented a skate aid and the staff walked it down to the ice for me! I have been to outdoor rinks before, and this ice is so smooth, a Zamboni came out to resurface the ice regularly. Plus there was always a skate guard on the ice to keep the ice fun and safe for everyone. Very family friendly, will definit”
