National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden Ice-Skating Rink Description
Local parents have this scenario mapped out perfectly, so follow their lead: If you let your kids go ice skating (seasonally, of course) in the beautiful sculpture garden, they'll be much more pliant when you want them to experience the National Gallery of Art. Everyone wins! You won't miss out on a spring or summer visit, either -- the sculptures remain, and the ice is replaced with fountains.
Kid Tips
School-Age Kids: Go to the Kids Zone on the National Gallery of Art's website where your child can create her own abstract painting.
Planning Notes
- Have a hot chocolate. Go early to rent skates and have a less-crowded experience, then grab a hot chocolate afterward at the Pavilion Café.
