Thousand Island Cruise
There are boats that leave from kingston and go downstream on the st. lawrence river and around the thousand islands. the round-trip is about 3 hours. if you have a car it is better to get on the boat tours that leave from the nearby town of gananoque, about 20 minutes northeast of kingston, because you get to see more.
Market Square
In 2005 the city built a new outdoor skating rink in market square. it's refrigerated, and the surface is conditioned by a zamboni every couple of hours, so the surface is more regular than other outdoor rinks in the area. hockey sticks are not allowed on this rink.
City Park
just west of downtown: although the surface isn't as regularly conditioned as market square, this the place to go if you want to play hockey, since hockey isn't allowed on the market square rink.
