Sharpen Those Skates: Millennium Park's Rink Opens Friday

By Marcus Gilmer in Arts & Entertainment on Nov 17, 2009 9:20PM

It's that time of year again...well, almost. It's just about time for the Millennium Park ice rink to open for the winter to fans of ice skating everywhere. It was due to open for business tomorrow but this week's forecast of rain has delayed the opening until noon this Friday (November 20). The rink will remain open until mid-March. It's free and open to the public but if you need to rent skates, that'll cost you $10. Hours are Mondays through Thursdays 12 p.m. -8 p.m.; Fridays 12 p.m. - 10 p.m.; Saturdays 10 a.m. - 10 p.m.; and Sundays 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.
