## About

Located on the west plaza of historic Philadelphia City Hall, the Rothman Orthopaedics Ice Rink and Wintergarden at Dilworth Park offer a classic open-air skating experience backdropped by William Penn's statue. Families can lace up skates on Thanksgiving Day afternoon or throughout Thanksgiving weekend for brisk 90-minute outdoor sessions.

Young skaters taking their first ice strides can rent penguin-shaped stabilizer skate trainers to build confidence on the ice. Off the rink, families can wander through the picturesque Wintergarden—a cozy green oasis filled with illuminated rustic reindeer topiaries, woodland evergreen trees, and whimsical light installations. The heated Rothman Cabin serves hot chocolate, spiced apple cider, fresh churros, and seasonal treats next to outdoor fire pits.
