Skate @ Canal District Kendall
About
Skate @ Canal District Kendall is a seasonal outdoor ice rink in Cambridge’s Kendall Square area, set in a landscaped plaza just off Third Street with shops and restaurants nearby. The professionally maintained rink offers public skating along with group and private lessons for all ages. Figure and hockey skates are available to rent, or skaters can bring their own, and corporate groups, school groups or groups of friends can book outings.
Lessons follow U.S. Figure Skating guidelines, and instructors are handpicked for their ability to work with each age group. The rink can be rented for private functions, and a heated pavilion gives groups a place to warm up, talk or serve catering. In December 2025 the rink hosted a free holiday ice show with professional and local elite skaters, paired with the Canal District Kendall Winter Market. The same operator runs Weston Ski Track.
