My favorite place to skate around the Boston area. The Jack Kirrane ice rink is in a lovely setting…read moreas it's not only outdoors, but at the top of a hill surrounded by trees and then the rest of the Larz Anderson Park. It's a great visual experience on top of having nice ice. A plus is that aside the rink is a flat patch of rectangular ice for beginners to practice on. One thing I don't like about skating at the Reilly Rink in Cleveland Circle is that beginners flop all over the ice. You can sit at the side of Reilly and time it on your watch and not go more than five seconds without seeing someone fall on the ice and possibly cause a pile-up. Kirrane has a nice solution for it. Reilly is free and Kirrane does charge $8 for Brookline residents (as of early 2026, fees may change with inflation!!!) and $10 for non-residents. They also rent nice quality skates, both figure and hockey style, if you don't have your own. The absolute best is to come in December to early January for the afternoon public skate and watch the sun set and the sky change colors off to the west before they shut down at 4:30pm. If you're lucky there will also be some snow in the surrounding trees adding to the experience. The only negative experience I has was that the staff didn't confront some pain in the butt kids. Some kids around ages 10-12 went on the beginner ice and were skating really fast and then diving and sliding on the ice as far as they could and knocking into beginner skaters, including young children. Neither their parents nor the staff said a word to them. I was close to going hockey player and roughing some of them up to teach them a lesson. They really should crack down on this before someone really gets hurt.

It was a great environment for them both to learn how to skate! The races are cool, and when you win one you get a prize of a certificate of some sort to use at the rink. Laser tag is good, and it's fun to point the thingy at the targets and get points. You also get a piece of paper at the end with your rank and stats on it! Personally, I've been to many birthday parties there and the birthday person gets to go in this big yellow box and catch certificate prizes as they blow around in the box.

It is $5 per person for the free skate, and if you need to rent skates it is an additional $5, so for two people $20 isn't too shabby for a nice couple hours of skating.

Nice friendly atmosphere, cheap, and fun. Can't really go wrong.
