Thanksgiving smoothly passed by, and now, it is time for sled riding, snowball fights, and ice skating.
The cold weather keeps many inside, but ice skating with family and friends, while enjoying the snow and magical lights, is something Clevelanders love to do. Simply, go downtown and show off your ice skating skills.
This month, Cleveland’s ice skating rink is open to the public, and it is located at Public Square. The rink opened on November 28 and will stay open through February 1. During this colorful experience, there will also be warm and tasty food/drinks in addition to a light show and a live band.

Public Square’s ice skating rink offers a festive and seasonal downtown experience with affordable skating and an oval rink that’s ADA accessible, allowing up to 150 skaters in the rink at one time.
For ticket purchases, guests can only buy them in person. There will also be no cash sales; only Credit/Debit/Apple Pay will be accepted. For an individual, a ticket costs $15, which includes the skate rental. There is also a 10-pack ticket package for $130. This will also include the skate rental.

Ice skating is one of the best Winter activities, but it comes with a lot of thrill and, unfortunately, danger. So, be cautious of bad skaters to avoid injury before Santa Claus comes to town.
Cleveland is a beautiful city, especially during Christmastime. Take some time to bask in the cool air and colorful sights by enjoying an evening on the rink.
If you do explore this beautiful skating rink, be safe and watch out for Mr. Holko. He loves ice skating, but he stinks at it. He can go fast in a straight line but cannot stop. Do not be one of his victims!
