Wade Oval in University Circle is celebrating the winter with fun and exciting events. The Rink is open on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from Nov. 28 to March 8. However, from Dec. 22 to Jan. 2, the rink is open everyday, with shortened hours for Sunday through Thursday and regular hours for the weekend. It costs only two dollars to skate and an additional three dollars for skate rentals. The Rink even offers free skating lessons every Saturday at noon.

In addition to the standard Rink schedule, Wade Oval has also organized various winter activities.

On Dec. 7 from noon to 7 p.m. you can skate for free at the Wade Oval Holiday Circlefest, in addition to attending local museums for free. Come to The Rink on Dec. 7 and 21 and you’ll get a chance to skate with Santa himself.
