The MetroParks Ice Rink Is Open Daily Until February 28
There’s only one short week left of ice skating for the season, so grab your friends and family, then head to the MetroParks Ice Rink during open skate or one of the themed skates! Enjoy some hot cocoa from the RiverScape Café, then stay cozy and warm under the MSD Warming Zone or in the comfort tent. There are a lot of exciting things in store for the rest of the week, and hours vary, so be sure to check out www.metroparks.org/ice-rink/ for up-to-date information.
Skate admission is $7 and skate rentals are $3. Ages three and under skate for free with a paying adult. Thanks to the Five Rivers MetroParks Foundation, the Access to Nature Financial Assistance program is available for those who participate in EBT/SNAP programs. Simply show your card at the rental office and receive 75% off ice rink admission and skate rental all winter long.
