As brisker weather returns, the outdoor ice rink in Pentagon City is reopening Friday in advance of a free Halloween-themed skating event.
The rink at Westpost at National Landing opens for the 2025-2026 winter season at 10 a.m. on Halloween, a spokesperson told ARLnow. The next day, an event called “Thriller on Ice” will feature a DJ “spinning all your favorite Halloween tracks” from 5-8 p.m. this Saturday.
As usual this season, customers will be able to rent skates at 1201 S. Joyce Street for $6. Prices for skating sessions are listed below.
- Children age 12 and under: $11 for online reservations, $12 for walk-ups
- Age 13 and over: $12 for online reservations, $13 for walk-ups
- Seniors: $11 for online reservations and walk-ups
