About this adventure
Founded in 1954 in leafy Chestnut Hill, the Wissahickon Skating Club is a cherished Northwest Philadelphia institution dedicated to figure skating, youth hockey, and community ice recreation. While private for league play, the club opens its impeccably groomed NHL-regulation indoor ice sheet to the general public every Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Saturday afternoon sessions are tailored specifically for families with young children, featuring relaxed tempos and free admission for kids under age four. Skate rentals cost just $4, and a cozy snack counter serves warm pretzels and hot cocoa. No advance reservations or club memberships are required—simply walk up to the ticket window.
