Billed as the "world's highest ice skating rink," Skating in the Sky opened on the 94th floor of the John Hancock Center earlier this month. Made of synthetic ice, the 900-square-foot rink is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the downtown skyline.
Open through March 31, the venue can host groups of 100, though the ice only holds 25 skaters at a time. Buyouts require a two-hour minimum and cost $2,500. Hosts can opt to extend events for $1,000 for each additional hour. Skates are provided for all guests.
For large groups, food and beverage packages are available through Blue Plate Catering. The Lavazza Expression Cafe at John Hancock Observatory can provide catering for smaller groups. Options include panini stations, charcuterie-and-cheese platters, and specialty cocktails.
