Skaters Gonna Skate

The tradeoff for being able to dress like it’s spring break year-round as the rest of the country shivers and sniffles is that we don’t get the kind of White Christmas that ol’ Bing sang about. If you’re still craving some holiday chill, the CitySkate skating rink in downtown Phoenix...

The tradeoff for being able to dress like it’s spring break year-round as the rest of the country shivers and sniffles is that we don’t get the kind of White Christmas that ol’ Bing sang about. If you’re still craving some holiday chill, the CitySkate skating rink in downtown Phoenix will put you on ice Sunday, December 1.

CityScape is more known for its eateries and entertainment options than being a civic gathering place (like the public park it devoured), but CitySkate, the Valley’s largest real ice rink, brings some people-powered hustle and bustle to the urban shopping center. Gliding guests can count on Chloe’s Corner for beer, wine, and hot chocolate, and admission also gets you other retail discounts around CityScape.

CitySkate takes place daily from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. at 1 East Washington Street through Sunday, January 5. Admission is $12 and includes skate rental. For more info, visit www.cityscapephoenix.com or call 602-772-3900.

Saturdays, Sundays, 3-11 p.m.; Mondays-Fridays, 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Starts: Nov. 30. Continues through Jan. 13, 2013
