Winter Skate at Patriot Place is a must-visit destination for families this season! Located in the heart of Foxboro, this charming outdoor skating rink offers a fun and festive way to embrace the colder months while making unforgettable memories with your loved ones.

Our family of six had an amazing night at Winter Skate. The rink provided the perfect backdrop for quality time together, with twinkling lights and lively music setting a magical atmosphere. My husband and I cherished watching our kids laugh and glide across the ice. Even our youngest, who was new to skating, found confidence with the help of the rink's skate trainers - a thoughtful addition for kids or beginners.
