This concrete formation is a wading pool in summer, but it is its winter incarnation as a 16,000-foot outdoor skating rink that gets the most use. On crisp Boston nights, there may be nothing better than a twirl on the ice beneath the trees of the Boston Common and the lights of downtown skyscrapers. You may even have an audience—crowds often gather on the rail around the pond to watch the skaters glide. Admission: $4 Adults; free for children under 13. Skate rental is $5.

"This is a great and classic Boston winter activity. Fairly cheap and just childishly fun. :) However my only caution is to make sure you call ahead before you make the trek over there in the cold. I went there 5 times last winter and 4 of those times it was closed because of a last minute private engagement that rented out the whole frog pond. When its available definitely make your way over there though! It may not be Rockefellar Center, but it will win you over with its classic Bostonian charm. "
