  6. Founders Holiday Ice Rink (Nov. - Jan.)6

    Founders Holiday Ice Rink (Nov. - Jan.)

    The ice rink operates seasonally through winter, offering a casual skating experience where crowds stay manageable—just bundle up in hats and gloves for comfort. Be aware that rental skates here have received consistent complaints about their condition and fit, so experienced skaters or families with their own equipment will have a significantly better time than first-timers.
