No. Turn up and pay at the ticket desk by the rink. If you want a treat, the online combi ticket adds a hot chocolate or glühwein, and it gives you the rink and your rented skates all day on the day you use it.

When can Stadspas holders skate free?

Monday to Thursday from 10am to 11pm, and Fridays until 2pm. Over the Christmas holidays (Dec 19 to Jan 3) it is until 2pm, and it is not valid on Dec 24, 25 or 26.

Is there anything else nearby for kids?

The same organizer runs a winter market on Leidseplein, with an old-fashioned carousel, poffertjes and oliebollen.

About

An outdoor ice rink fills Rembrandtplein each winter, at the foot of the statues of Rembrandt and his Night Watch. Kids skate under twinkling lights, with wooden chalets around the rink selling hot chocolate, oliebollen and waffles. It suits kids who are steady on skates, and parents who would rather watch with a warm drink from the chalet, which looks out over the ice.
