Dilworth Park's Ice Rink and Wintergarden Reopen for 2025-26 Season
Starting this Friday, November 14th, Dilworth Park will be transformed into a festive winter destination in Center City. The iconic ice rink at the base of City Hall is set to return with daily skating sessions until February 22nd, offering a fun activity for millions of visitors last season.
Admission costs $7 for children under 10 and $10 for adults, with skate rentals available for an additional $10. Users can reserve timed, 90-minute sessions online and take advantage of group discounts.
This year's revamped Rothman Orthopaedics Cabin promises to be more exciting than ever. The expanded indoor space features a refreshed menu, bar service, and TVs for fans who want to warm up while watching a game. Visitors can also enjoy fire pits on the terrace, open to all.
Families will have two opportunities to meet Santa at Breakfast with Santa events on December 13th and 20th. These special mornings include a buffet meal, photos with the jolly old man, and time on the ice - reservations are required.
In addition to the ice rink, the Wintergarden will remain open until March 15th, showcasing illuminated sculptures, seasonal plants, and warm mulled wine from Chaddsford Winery (for visitors 21 and older). The bustling Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market will also return through January 1st, featuring local vendors selling handmade goods and other items.

️ i've been counting down the days until i can lace up my skates again and show off my moves on the ice 
. and yay, santa is coming!!! 
breakfast with santa is literally my fave thing ever... i took my little cousin there last year and we had such a blast 
. also, who needs a quiet cup of coffee when you can have mulled wine from chaddsford winery in the wintergarden? 
... I mean, it's not like they're gonna make a ton of money from that. And what's up with the 90-minute session limit? Can't we just get in and out without all the hassle? 
Plus, who needs to reserve timed sessions online? It's just ice skating, right? 
? The thing is, it's like they're trying to recreate a magical winter wonderland from my childhood. And you know what? It's working! The Wintergarden looks amazing this year, especially with those fire pits – I'm all about cozying up by the flames while watching a game or sipping some hot cider 
️.
Still, I'm down for some festive fun and can't wait to check out Dilworth Park when it opens up this Friday!
gotta hit that up this season! They're offering daily skating sessions which is so convenient for busy people like me who wanna get their winter vibes on 
skate rentals are a nice touch too, $10 more than I'd pay at some other spots... anyone gonna meet Santa there? 
those Breakfast with Santa events sound super fun and pricey tho 
but hey who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned family day out! 
it's gonna be lit! plus the cabin is all fancy now with fire pits & bar service - perfect spot to warm up while watching a game or sipping mulled wine 
. can't wait to hit the ice rink myself this season! 
. and of course who can resist meeting santa at breakfast 
. this is gonna be such a fun season!
meanwhile, can't wait for those Breakfast with Santa events, my niece is gonna freak out when she meets Santa this year 
. The revamped cabin sounds amazing too, can't wait to try their refreshed menu and warm up with some drinks while watching a game 
. And omg, who doesn't love meeting Santa at Breakfast with Santa? It's gonna be a hoot! 
, another thing to deal with... the ice rink is back and it's gonna be a real pain in the wallet, $7 for kids under 10, like what even is that? And don't even get me started on the $10 adult admission, I swear, it's just an excuse for people to go out and spend more money 
. And now they're gonna add some "revised" menu at the cabin... like we haven't had enough to deal with already 
. At least they're keeping the fire pits open to all, that's something, I guess...
the illuminated sculptures are always so pretty, and mulled wine sounds like the perfect way to cozy up on a chilly night. i'm also excited for the Breakfast with Santa events - my little ones love meeting santa every year! 
. I'm also super excited for Breakfast with Santa - it's such a great way to get into the holiday spirit 
. And let's not forget about the local vendors at the Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market - it's a great way to support Philly's community 
.
). The fact that there's still a Wintergarden going on is also super cool - love how they keep that winter magic alive until March. Only thing that'd make this even better? Free admission to all the events... fingers crossed!
I'm super stoked they're bringing back the ice rink, it's such a great spot to get into the holiday spirit with family and friends. And omg, the new Wintergarden looks amazing! They're really upping their game this year with fire pits, mulled wine, and all that jazz 
. Plus, can't wait to check out the Holiday Market for some unique gifts 
. Only thing is $10 for adult admission seems a bit steep, but hey, it's all about supporting local vendors, right? 
! Can't they just organize their content in a coherent manner? I mean, first off, I'd expect to see a clear title section with bolded headings or something. But noooo, it's all jumbled together like a mess of snowflakes on the ice rink 
.
. also, anyone else as stoked about the Rothman Orthopaedics Cabin vibes? it sounds like they've got some sick upgrades this season
