The beloved holiday tradition is back following a year-long hiatus due to COVID-19.
After a year off following the pandemic, a holiday favorite is returning to Baltimore. The Inner Harbor Ice Rink returns on November 12 atop the Amphitheater at 201 E. Pratt Street. The rink, which draws thousands of visitors annually, is sponsored by Waterfront Partnership and PNC Bank. The grand reopening will feature leaders from both sponsors alongside Mayor Brandon Scott, according to Baltimore Fishbowl.
Admission rates are $10 for adults and $9 for seniors, children, and military members. Skate rentals cost $4. Season Passes will be available for purchase at $150 with unlimited visits and the option of skate rentals. Special rates will be offered for groups of 25 people and up. For transportation, guests can take advantage of local parking garages or public transit via the Charm City Circulator and Water Taxi. Restrooms and concessions can be found at Harborplace Pavilions.
Waterfront Partnership will also continue its yearly perk of free ice skating and skate rentals to the first 100 children who arrive.
