## About

Perched at the Top of the Amphitheater overlooking Baltimore's historic Inner Harbor and the historic USS Constellation tall ship, the Inner Harbor Ice Rink offers one of Maryland's most scenic outdoor winter skating experiences. Skaters glide across refrigerated real ice while taking in panoramic views of the harbor waters and the illuminated 30-foot Baltimore Waterfront Holiday Tree glowing overhead.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Beginner Skaters & Toddlers: Free dual-runner beginner skate trainers and penguin skating aids are available on a first-come, first-served basis, giving toddlers and novice skaters the confidence to navigate the ice.
• Family Amenities: Outdoor heated seating areas, fire pits, and rinkside concessions serve warm hot chocolate, apple cider, and pretzels. Broad paved amphitheater tiers provide barrier-free stroller viewing for non-skating parents and grandparents.
• Weekend Festivities: Weekends feature live holiday DJ music, costumed character skates (with visits from Santa, the Snow Queen, and local sports mascots), and themed family skate sessions.
