Adirondack Inside Public Skating


Ice Skating is a fun Adirondack family activity that my family enjoys all winter long! When the weather outside is cold and the ice thickens on the Adirondack lakes and ponds, we take out skates with us.  

Inside we have the opportunity to take off our skates, warm up our toes and listen to the music piped in over the sound system.

 Here are some Adirondack Civic Centers. So strap on those skates and hit the ice!


 Lake Placid
The 1932 Olympic rink in Lake Placid is open only at certain times for public skating as there are often professional events like Stars on Ice as well as hockey games like Festivus Face-Off, which requires a certain caliber of ice quality. 

Saranac Lake
The Saranac Lake Civic Center changes its phone message daily with public skate times. Remember to call 518-891-3800. There is also an outside rink located here. 

Tupper Lake 
Tupper Lake’s Civic Center offers free skating from noon – 2:45 pm, Monday through Friday. On the weekends the times do vary, but its usually 6:30 – 8 pm. It is recommended to call 518-359-2531.

Lake George
