For the fourth year in a row, Johns Hopkins University is bringing a temporary ice rink to its Homewood campus for six weeks, starting Friday, Jan. 10, and running through Sunday, Feb. 23, weather permitting.
The pop-up ice rink has a new location this year: the parking lot next to the university’s Imagine Center for Integrative Learning and Life Design (the old U. S. Lacrosse headquarters) at 113 West University Parkway.
As in past years, the 2025 skating season will include free skating sessions to both university affiliates and the greater Baltimore community.
According to the JHU Hub, weekday sessions are reserved for Hopkins affiliates (faculty, staff and students), and weekend time slots are open to Hopkins affiliates and the general public. All sessions last 90 minutes unless otherwise noted, and they must be booked in advance. Skaters must sign and submit a waiver to be admitted to the ice rink, and minors under 18 must have the waiver signed by a parent or guardian. Skates will be provided but skaters can also bring their own.
Weekend hours of operation for Hopkins affiliates and the general public are Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Weekday hours for Hopkins affiliates are Monday to Thursday from noon to 7:30 p.m., and Fridays from noon to 11:30 p.m.
Hopkins is offering extended hours on Opening Weekend, Jan. 10 to 12. Hours on Friday, Jan. 10 will be from noon to 11:30 p.m. for JHU affiliates only, and Saturday, Jan. 11 and Sunday, Jan. 12, from 8 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. both days, for JHU affiliates and the general public. Extended hours on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 20, will be from 8 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., for JHU affiliates and the general public.
Full online registration will start soon. Ticket reservations are available three weeks from the desired start date, and the first round of tickets will be released on December 16. The website to reserve tickets is: https://jhutickets.universitytickets.com/.
