The outdoor ice skating rinks offer a fun way to celebrate the cold weather. All of them offer skating lessons and birthday party packages, and many also have ice hockey. Always check the rinks' official websites before heading out to verify the public skating hours as the schedules often change throughout the season, especially during the holidays.
