Map of ice skating rinks in Chicago
Before you go ice skating
- Check the public skate schedule. Ice time is shared with hockey, figure skating and classes, so public sessions can be short and change week to week. The ice is resurfaced between sessions.
- Dress warm, in layers. Rinks are cold. Wear gloves to protect your hands if you fall, and one pair of thin or medium socks so the skates fit well.
- Rentals vary. Most rinks rent figure or hockey skates. Lace them snug around the ankle. If you bring your own, keep the blades sharp and use guards off the ice.
- Helmets help beginners. A helmet is a good idea for kids and first-timers. Stay near the boards until you find your balance and skate with the flow of traffic.
