What's The Best Ice Skating Tip?
If you need a little extra glide, rent a plastic blue seal to give you balance and stability. Grab a super-cute seal so even the littlest skaters can have fun on the ice with the rest of the family, or make way for some competitive ice racing as speed skaters push their pals from one end of the rink to the other!
Hot Tip:
Don't miss the Tinsel Trail - a pathway of beautifully decorated trees that trails the sidewalk around the front and back of The Classic Center. See some of these trees just across Foundry Street from the skate rink!
