The rink this year will provide skaters almost 5000 square feet of ice-skating surface. Skating will cost $7.00 per person and $3.00 for skate rental. Season Passes are also available. Group events for outings, birthday party’s, holiday party’s or friendly get-togethers may be eligible for discounts.
Hours of operation are Wednesday – Friday from 5pm – 10pm, Saturday from 11am – 10pm, and Sunday from 11am – 7pm. Extended hours begin when most schools let out for the holidays on December 19th. Exact hours of operation for each day and other details are available at www.wbtholidayonice.com
