4 Great Outdoor Rinks. Skate to Your Heart’s Delight in MN!

The moderate temperatures so far this season have left ice skaters wishing for colder weather.  Even though the outdoor rinks aren't quite ready yet, you can start planning where to go now.

Whether your looking for a family friendly open-skate or you're looking for places you can play hockey or broomball.  There are outdoor rinks for all your desires.

I grew up a block away from a rink in South Minneapolis so I spent as much of my waking hours there as I could.  If you enjoy ice skating too, then hopefully this will help you plan out some different rinks in Central Minnesota to visit.
