Grab your skates and bundle up, because we have three outdoor ice rinks for you to try.

Riverside Crossing Park Ice Skating Rink, 6625 Riverside Dr.

The rink is open for the season, and admission and skate rentals are $12. Pro tip: Head over to Bridge Park after you skate, which is a mile away, for shopping and dining options.

Coffman Park Ice Rink, 5200 Emerald Pkwy.

This outdoor rink is open daily when temperatures are below freezing for multiple days in a row. Admission is free, but guests must bring their own skates.
