Recess at the Rink is a special type of public skating session for 2-10 year olds to develop a love for skating! This is a great way to introduce young and inexperienced skaters to the ice. Kids can play with beanie babies, foam hockey pucks, small sticks & nets. An adult chaperone is not required to skate with a child, but they are always welcome to join their kids.

Admission is $20 per child. Each child admission comes with one adult chaperone admission, as well as skate rental for both skaters. Each additional adult will be charged at an additional $20. On occasion we offer specialty events on Recess on the Rink sessions that may have additional fees. This will be listed in the promotional material of those events such as the Snowball Skate.

If you have your own hockey stick or toys you'd like to bring, please do so!

Gloves are strongly recommended for all skaters (kids and adults). Helmets are encouraged but not required. MedStar Capitals Iceplex cannot loan gear.

Always check the daily schedule for the most updated times.

Please note: We do not allow buckets, walkers, penguins, or chairs. We thank you for your understanding and hope you have a great skate with us!
