If you’re looking for something fun to do with friends or family in December, check out upcoming holiday public skates at Ford Ice Center locations in Antioch and Bellevue + Centennial Sportsplex.

All three rinks have designated public skate hours throughout the month, but be sure to check each website for the most up-to-date calendar.

Ford Ice Center

📍 Antioch (5264 Hickory Hollow Pkwy.)
📍 Bellevue (7638 Hwy. 70 S.)

Sessions are ~$10 (including rental skates) for up to one and a half hours of ice skating. Participants must register online in advance. Bonus: Every public skate purchase comes with a free hot chocolate.

Centennial Sportsplex

📍 222 25th Ave. N.

Skate sessions range between $6-$7 (free for children age 4 and under), and skate rentals are $3. Sessions are typically held on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

Ready to hit the ice? The temperature inside the rink is about 58 degrees, so it’s recommended to wear a jacket or sweater, as well as calf-height socks for well-fitted skates. Read up on a few more skating tips before you strap on your ice skates.
