Wonderful place for outside fun in Providence! Especially beautiful when the sun is shining! The skating rink is fantastic with easy access on and off the ice.

Great place to get outdoors in the winter. Big and open, and not as crowded as Boston or NYC. Reasonably priced for families. I just feel like they could do a bit more around it to make it a bit nicer and more desirable to go to. Really pretty when they have the Christmas decorations up!

Enjoy taking trips for date nights or family time to the ice rink. Big enough to enjoy but can become quite crowded at times with some rude skaters who forget to have respect for others on the ice. A little more control over that would be nice

I am a frequent skater at Fleet. The rink is best during the day up 'til about 6PM. Then it gets crowded, especially on weekends. Can also be windy in late afternoon. Mornings have very strong sun glare in your eyes. I think best times are 4:30 'till 6:PM You are out in the open with everyone walking past so... More
