The ice skating rink at Pentagon Row (1101 S. Joyce Street) opened this week.

The rink hosted its first skaters Tuesday, according to its Facebook page. A sure sign of the season, the rink — which was expanded in 2013 — generally opens around mid-fall and closes in mid-to-late March.

The rink’s hours vary, but it opens at noon on weekdays and at 10 a.m. on weekends and certain holidays, closing between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. depending on the day.

Admission is $9 for adults and $8 for kids and seniors. Skate rental is $4.
