## About

Transforming its signature plaza fountain into a massive 11,800-square-foot sheet of ice every November, the Washington Harbour Ice Rink is the largest outdoor skating rink in Washington, DC. Located along the Georgetown waterfront promenade, skaters glide beneath twinkling holiday canopy lights with panoramic vistas across the Potomac River toward Theodore Roosevelt Island and the Key Bridge.

Beginners and toddlers can rent penguin skate helpers to steer safely across the expansive ice sheet. Waterfront restaurants offer heated outdoor patio dining, takeout warm apple cider, and sweet seasonal pastries right along the boardwalk. The wide, paved Georgetown Waterfront Park trails next door are fully stroller accessible, making this an ideal all-day family outing destination.
