Deets: This season, the National Building Museum is delighted to welcome back the Winter Skate Spectacular—returning for its second year in an even bigger, better, and brighter form.
This one of a kind, indoor synthetic ice-skating experience transforms the Museum’s Great Hall into a winter wonderland where visitors of all ages can skate beneath the soaring Corinthian columns. Events will include early hours for younger skaters, themed nights, festive snacks and drinks, and more!
From lively after-hours events for adults to joyful moments for families, there’s plenty to keep the spirit of the holidays alive well into the new year.
