Where to skate in Moscow: the best skating rinks by district
On weekends and holidays, the central skating rinks in Moscow are crowded, but you don’t have to go to the Kremlin to get good ice. "Mel" has taken care of you and selected the best skating rinks in all administrative districts of Moscow so that you can skate closer to home.
Mela newsletter
We send our interesting and very useful newsletter twice a week: on Tuesday and Friday
The skating rinks in the center of Moscow are usually crowded, so skating with small children in the evening may not be very comfortable. But they are the most beautiful, equipped with warm changing rooms, and there are many cafes nearby where you can warm up.
Central rollers are also the most expensive. Skating in Gorky Park will cost the most - 650 rubles in the evening hours on weekends for adults for a large skating rink (the price includes the use of a storage locker).

For comparison: a ride with a view of Moscow City in Krasnaya Presnya Park costs half as much - 300 rubles on weekends and holidays.
