Tips & Advice

  • Rent skates at the rink if you want to skate, since on-site rental is available.
  • Bring warm layers for time around the outdoor rink; its cover does not make the event fully indoors.
  • Visit during the Christmas in-between days or after New Year if you want a market outing then; the season runs through Epiphany.
  • Consider making time for the rink-side pavilion, where warm food and drinks are served beside the skating area.
  • Treat the entertainment as variable: seasonal programming ranges from ribbon skating to small gigs, rather than one fixed show.

Special Events & Promotions

  • A covered outdoor ice rink is new this year.
