## About

Skate under the historic limestone tower of Philadelphia City Hall and the statue of William Penn at the Rothman Orthopaedics Ice Rink at Dilworth Park. This open-air refrigerated rink is bordered by the whimsical Greenfield Winter Garden featuring reindeer topiary, twinkling birch trees, and festive cafe seating right in the center of town.

Families with little ones can rent friendly penguin skate aids to help new skaters glide with confidence. Right off the ice, the heated Rothman Cabin offers warm cider, cocoa, and kid-friendly snacks, with plenty of room to park strollers. Located atop the City Hall transit hub, it is exceptionally easy to reach via SEPTA subway, trolley, and regional rail lines.
