This is an open space to hang around and take pictures. There are a lot of local restaurants offering wide variety of cuisines, The town seems really old have a European Architectural vibe. Overall very welcoming and relaxing place for spending some quality times with your loved ones. There is an old train station and a few rail compartments where you can ride and take pictures. The Most prominent feature of the place is the big and bold writing: Love and Hope, which is lovely.
Nice place to sit for a bit during good weather. Wish there were just a couple more benches. Enjoyed watching the kids practicing their skateboard moves.
Nice open space with no support structure interfering with movement. A bit noisy with traffic but bearable. Parking is an ISSUE
Nice place to expend time with family.
Very well maintained area. Safe environment. Ice skating rink is well lit plus large areana. Parking is a bit tricky if you dont know the area. Lots to see and walk to within day and early evening hours. Staff at the rink are super awesome! Better variety of music than previous years. Bathrooms are well kept plus heated.
Nice. Public music and a family atmosphere
Really cool little place in downtown. Classic old town feel with an ice skating rink. Dont go if its too warm out as the ice melts quickly. Otherwise its really nice.
The price for rental skates and a ticket is $15 per person for adults and $10 per person for kids. The rental skates are plastic and very cheaply made. For some peoples ankles these skates can be extremely uncomfortable, cutting into the ball of their ankle. The rink is nice. They drain the pond and build the rink on top of the pond. The majority of the people at the rink are not familiar with skating. So the rink is extremely crowded and hard to navigate. Groupon tickets are available however they can only be used after the first weekend in January.
Best pace to take family and kids for night time photography and ice skating in holidays
Poorly maintained rink, the ice was covered in a sheet of water, the skate guard consistently was trying to skate backwards and skating into children, knocking them over and was not doing his job what so ever. Super cute idea but needs more planning and better staffing
Great setting in old Town Manassas. Lots of teens and crowded to the point that they kept closing down because there werent enough rentals available. The ice condition was terrible, even after the poor Zamboni job. People walking on the concrete with skates on, destroying the blades on the skates and no one to monitor.Great for a change of pace for our skating family. Once and done for us.
The Special Occasions Band was great! The evening was perfect. The music was superb. It was a special treat to learn most of them were Manassas area students who went on to college and returned to the area.
Great place in the heart of Old Town Manassas. They have activities year round and ice skating rink.
It was busy, but it was free skate on Wednesdays. Just a little busy for my liking.
An open air venue offering various activities. including concerts, Ice Cream With local artists, Farmers Market offering locally grown food- a wonderful way to mix & meet with fellow Manassasites!
So much fun ice skating...Then a late lunch at CJ Finz...
Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We like to ice skate here and they were a huge help fitting my husband into a proper pair of skates. The rink is also beautiful with all the Christmas lights put up, we cant wait to come back.
Ice was all melted into puddles and rental equipments were pretty smelly.
Lived the place very fun people there were very nice
Enjoyed the benches as I walked the old town..nice and shady.lol!
It is an amazing singer down there. Farmers Market is a blast as well
A great place where lots of events are held or just a good place to hangout.
We buy our spring herb plants at the Thursday morning farmers market. Its on our annual Google calendar. Best plants ever
The heart of the city. Take photo at love train or many festivals through out the year
Easy to get to, great free garage parking right by the pavillion. On this evening I went to see Jason Masi sing. He was great! Wish I knew about the summer concert series before. There were foldable seats or you can always bring your own, and bring something to eat as well. Had a great time.
They always have great entertainment and in the summer they have people selling there home grown vegetables. Delicious...
Love this place and its small town appeal for family nights and events
AHH. Manassas VA. Now, Im a history buff and a person who loves outdoors. This place is perfect for me. This is the epicenter of the city, Where history and the present meet. The quaintness of the town is strongly felt in its almost still pretty civil war era setup, to the new up and coming breweries and reasturants, there is absolutely something for everyone here. Geocachers, youll enjoy this area!!!
Great place to ice skate.
It is a great place to listen to live music!
Wonderful place for most every type of event.
One of the most recognizable parts of Old Town Manassas, this is a good place to sit and relax when walking around Old Town and during the winter it turns into an ice rink and many other events are hosted here throughout the year.
September 30,2018 was a day of Celebration in Recovery....either with alcohol, opioids, or street drugs. This is something we all need to understand and face the facts. This being the first time with this type of event, I hope this will continue in the future.
This rink is really fun to skate on in the winter
Winter season Wednesdays 3pm-8pm skating is free!
Really nice scenery and has cheap entertainment, very nice for ice skating in the winter!
Love going to the farmers market with friends or family.
We love to see the fireworks.
Awesome event and great staff!!
Excellent offerings here for FREE! I love their concerts and ice cream socials!! Definitely a highlight of Old Town Manassas.
Laid back chill place
Good entering the music was just right
The Manassas Symphony Orchestra is performing at the Harris Pavilion August 18th, 2019 at 3pm. Its Free!
Kids had a great time
Take out Tuesday is a great way to relax from the days craziness and a nice start for the rest of the week. Thank you Ann Marie for your hard work.
Great place! Love meeting up with friends for free concerts and dancing.
Downtown Manassas is very nice. Lots of restaurant and coffee options. Be mindful, some of the public parking across from the pavilion is no longer public parking. Also, if you do a concert here me prepared to be interrupted every 30 min by trains.
Theres always something going on at the Harris Pavilion! Great for the whole family. Weve been a member of this community for 17 years and always look forward to the events they offer.
LaQuinn rocked the show with the band Chronic Royale.....made me go buy his whole catalog.
A well thought-out center for all kinds of festive events. My family and friends have enjoyed this place for many activities.
Enjoyed listening to the 257th Army Band performance. Delightful place except for the Amtrack whistle as the train passed.
The Pavillion is the first park youll notice as you enter downtown Manassas. It is the heart of a charming, family-friendly downtown. The downtown is filled with unique places to shop, dine, listen to local bands. On some days its alive with activity; on others it will populated by only you and couple people walking their dogs.In the warmer months, the Pavillion hosts farmers markets, fairs, bands, dances, dance lessons, lunchtime performances, ice cream socials, national holiday events, big screen outdoor movies, etc. In the winter, it is transformed into an ice skating rink brightened by Christmas lights. In the past, Manassas provided small campfires for roasting hotdogs, marshmallows, and hot cocoa. Kids love it. The Pavillion is all about family-oriented events. The activities there kind of showcase whats important to the residents in general - an intentional community that values its families first. The Pavillion definitely enhances the charming atmosphere of a small, historic, engaged hometown with amenities and events that are usually available to bigger communities with deep pockets. I think the Pavillion is sometimes a quiet sheltered cement floor under a huge canopy where kids and skaters let off steam or where you can keep shelter from storms and hot days. It is flanked by gazebos, pretty trees, a red caboose to climb on and provides public restrooms. Across one street is a family restaurant and pub with outdoor seating, a vintage bookstore, a hip seafood place. Crossing that street on the other side of the train tracts is an historically restored, fully functioning train station and parking lot that serves DC commuters and travellers.The Harris Pavillion is a quiet park when events arent going on. When they are, its one of the areas of entertainment and a nice piece of the puzzle that is (downtown) Manassas: a welcoming diverse community with unique shops, great dining options, many artistic and musical outlets and other well-attended, family-friendly happenings. We always take visitors there. Pretty much love it the more I think about it. A facet of our little town gem.
Love the events and atmosphere.
This place does free concerts great for the kids I liked it.
Love farmers market
Great large nice crowd
Saw the Navy Country Band here...they were excellent.
Great place for a family outing
Ample parking, Great venue, a train interruption every now and then.
This is strictly a review of the ice skating rink. Prices are okay, staff is friendly and helpful. Rink is alright as long as it isnt packed. The ice gets a little too chewed up and customers arent very patient. They do the best they can with the expectations of their customers. I for one would rather wait for the zamboni to refresh the ice surface. Still a very nice and convenient spot.
Beatlemania was lots of fun, very entertaining, and of course the price was great.
Wonderful community venue
Always fun, but not cheap!
Only have 5 kid balances for about 15 kids. I stood in line to get one and someone cut in front to get it.
A Wonderful Place to Visit in Old town Manassas

Great outdoor place during summer and ice skating rink in the winter
