Rideau Skating Rink

Great atmosphere and fantastic staff. I look forward to coming here each year and am never disappointed.

The Rideau Hall skating rink is open to the public Saturday and Sunday afternoons. There’s a beautiful woodstove-warmed hut to put your skates on in and a knowledgeable guide to tell you about history of the house and grounds. The ice is refrigerated and zamboni maintained so it’s usually in great shape

It was a very fun evening that we will most definitely do again. The guide was awesome and very friendly. Unfortunately is was a mild day outside so the ice was not at it's greatest. Parking was also not well indicated. The washrooms were nice and clean.

Such a beautiful rink and change hut! I haven't been on the weekends, apparently open to the public 12-5. Google Rideau Hall skating to confirm hours. The rink attendant advised me it can get very busy on nicer days.

This is a beautiful rink situated right behind the Governor General's residence. Admission is free. Wish I had come more often this last winter. There is a very nice Cabana/sports museum that is perfect for getting skates on or off. The rink is usually very well maintained, and nice music plays during the day that make this rink a fun experience. Last time we were there we saw a wild Fox.
