A small piece of cultural heritage

The ice rink is a firm winter tradition, well-attended every year by young and old. With a rich history dating back to 1864, when the Amsterdam Ice Club was already bringing skating fun to the neighborhood here, the return of the ice rink is more than a seasonal activity: it is cultural heritage and a piece of the city's identity. Whether you come to learn to skate, want to improve your technique, or just want to spin around, it is the place for winter fun for young and old.

Your daily dose of happiness

After skating, you can enjoy delicious classic dishes and hot drinks in the atmospheric restaurant by the ice rink. Or opt for festive cocktails and winter drinks at the outdoor bar, the ideal place to relax after your skating session. For groups, the restaurant can accommodate up to 150 guests per shift, and the outdoor terrace is perfect for larger events of up to 1,000 people.

The Museumplein Ice Rink is fully designed with accessibility for everyone as the guiding principle.
