This ice rink has always been a popular spot for holiday shoppers. Conveniently located in the centre of downtown, it is an outdoor rink with a glass ceiling that beautifully lights up for the festive season.
It provides guests a unique experience, skating around while taking in the hustle and bustle of the busiest time of year. Nothing sings Christmas quite like it.
