Ice Skate at the Frog Pond on Boston Common
No holiday is complete without ice skating, and the Frog Pond right in the heart of the city is the perfect place. This outdoor rink sits adjacent to the Boston Common, where you’ll also find the city’s official Christmas tree. Skating sessions last 90 minutes and include skate rentals. When your skating time is up, warm up with a cup of hot chocolate from the nearby cabin. Your party bus driver can drop your group off right at the Boston Common and meet you at a designated time and place when you’re done. Avoid the headache of trying to find parking nearby.
