Cleveland Foundation Skating Rink at Public Square

About this adventure

Glide across real outdoor ice in the heart of Downtown Cleveland on the Cleveland Foundation Skating Rink at Public Square. Surrounded by glittering holiday lights, illuminated trees, and the towering silhouette of the historic Terminal Tower, this outdoor rink provides a quintessential winter city experience for families. Skaters of all experience levels are welcome, with double-runner beginner skates and friendly penguin skate balance aids available to help toddlers and first-timers gain confidence on the ice. After taking a spin on the rink, families can warm up next to roaring outdoor fire pits, sip gourmet hot chocolate, and enjoy warm cinnamon sugar pretzels from the rinkside warming chalet. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Paved plaza walkways surround the rink perimeter; strollers can be safely parked near the skate rental desk. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Heated skate-changing tent with padded benches; full-service restrooms and private nursing areas inside connected Tower City Center. • Age Suitability: Perfect for children ages 3 and up, teens, and parents wanting active outdoor winter fun. • Sensory Tips: Upbeat holiday pop songs play continuously over the rink speakers; quieter morning skate sessions on weekend opening hours (12:00-14:00) offer lower crowd volume.
