About this adventure

Nestled beneath the picturesque red-roofed Victorian gazebo pavilion in the heart of Historic Downtown Manassas, the Harris Pavilion Ice Rink is one of Northern Virginia's most charming community winter traditions. Skaters glide across refrigerated open-air ice sheltered by the classic wooden timber roof, surrounded by vintage street lamps and quaint 19th-century storefronts. The rink is exceptionally family-oriented, offering lightweight balance frames for toddlers learning to skate and dedicated family skate hours. Rinkside concessions offer steaming hot cocoa and warm pretzels, and the pavilion is within steps of Old Town's independent candy shops, bakeries, and toy stores, as well as the historic Manassas VRE / Amtrak train depot.
