With the winter season and snow falling, the best place to go would be the Skate Ribbon in the Heartland of America Park. If you want that fun and thrilling winter experience ice skating would be a perfect way to spend your weekends. This is an outdoor skating rink located near Old Market and it only costs $5 to rent skates. For those who own their own skates, it is completely free. It also converts into a roller-skating rink when the summer season comes and all the ice melts. So the fun never ends.
The Skate Ribbon is shaped like a ribbon (hence its name) and has separate sections for those who are trying to learn for the first time or working on practicing tricks. Along with the railings all along the perimeter, they also offer walkers to assist beginners in their learning process. They make ice skating inclusive for any level so that everyone can have a good time. If you’re feeling a little chilly, at the back end of the rink there is a fireplace surrounded by a bunch of chairs to keep you warm. The fireplace also serves as a great place to take a break and have a conversation with your friends. The rink is surrounded by pine trees that feel like Christmas, LED lights that flash different colors and the best 2000s songs playing on the speakers that will elevate your night and experience.
The Skate Ribbon is the place to be if you’re looking for somewhere to live out your winter fantasies. Go and give ice skating a try if you have not already; it is guaranteed to be a magical experience.
