It’s a Boston winter tradition: Strapping on ice skates and gliding along the scenic Boston Common Frog Pond.

The famous pond will offer free admission from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. when it opens for the season on Tuesday.

Winter admission is $6 for skaters over 58 inches (that’s four feet, eight inches), while skaters under that height can skate for free. Skate rentals cost $12 for adults and $6 for kids.

Winter hours at the rink are Monday from 10 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
