Leidseplein Ice Skating

puffthemagicdragon · Wed 11th Nov 2009 12:26 am

Does anyone know if the annual ice skating rink will be at Leidseplein this year, and if so what date it will open?

Heading to Dam on 5th December and hoping it will be open by then.

Thanks for any info.

The ice looked awfully slushy on Saturday.

They used to put it on Dam squ and it was much bigger... Is it just me or is Dam squ being used less and less for exciting things?

they have them in a few locations, the Leidesplein and on the Damrak as mentioned, but the best one is at the Museumplein - It's bigger than the other two combined

If you bring your own skates it's free
