Muscovites and guests of the capital will be interested to know when skating rinks will open in Moscow in 2021. Despite the fact that the traditional opening of skating rinks in the Russian capital always took place at the end of November, the second wave of coronavirus confused all holiday plans. Many skating rinks were closed due to the fact that the authorities banned mass events in late autumn.

How Moscow skating rinks will work on holidays

For paid skating rinks, tickets can only be bought online on the website of a particular skating rink. The entrance to them will be by QR codes. Code plates will be installed next to the rollers.

At free sites, visitors are subject to entry restrictions. This is justified by the need to maintain social distance on the ice.

At paid sites, the admission of visitors will be carried out by session. The number of people who can get onto the ice rink at the same time depends on the size of the ice rink.

In the pavilions and rental offices, you will need to use medical masks and gloves. At the entrance, all visitors will be measured with special devices.
