Get out your … ice skates? It’s winter in July! Who says we can’t enjoy our favorite winter activities all year round?! Skate to the beats of a DJ, under the sparkles of a disco ball, on this artificial no-refrigeration-required surface. Free skates are available to borrow!
12:00 pm - 5:00 pm: Activities
Bubble soccer
A returning Block Party favorite! In this mashup between soccer, human bowling, and dodgeball, players wear inflatable bubble suits that allow them to safely bounce off one another and roll over completely. The photo ops are amazing.

Rock Climbing Wall
At 28’ tall, we’ll have the largest, portable rock wall available. With an extremely realistic climbing surface and contours, this wall guarantees to thrill even the most experienced climber.

Boston Battle Boats
Ahoy Mate! We present to you the beloved classic game of Battleship, supersized for your enjoyment! BUT WAIT, in this custom Boston-version, we have the Boston Harbor VS. the Charles River, a.k.a. sailboats VERSUS rowboats. This game is larger than life and you actually have to walk on the board to put your pegs in the coordinates. Try to sink your opponent’s battle ships before yours are sunk!

8-Player Foosball
Gather a team of up to 8 people and play a game with not one, but three balls at the same time! No more singles competition, we have made this into a team sport.

Air Hockey
Who doesn’t like air hockey??

Roll-A-Ball Horse Racing
Giddy Up! We bring you a fun classic everyone will love. Players will roll their balls up the play field and through the colored holes to score points. The more points they score, the further their horse gallops along the track - first one to reach the end is the winner!
