Each year, Denver eagerly awaits the opening of the ice skating rink in downtown, one of the Downtown Denver Partnership premier holiday events. The rink, which typically opens each year in late November and closes mid-February, is located in Skyline Park at 16th Street and Arapahoe. Skating is free if you bring your own skates. No skates? No problem. Rentals are available for all ages. The cost is just $8 for adults, $6 for ages 12 and under—and there are double-bladed skates available for young ice-skating enthusiasts. If you have a co-ed team of 6-12 adults, join the Broomball Challenge at the rink, pick a day and time and see how your team stacks up. Registration fees benefit Volunteers of America and the Parade of Lights.
