Yesterday I had a chance to drop by the Walnut Creek Ice Rink which is open until January 13th. In previous years I always went in December or January but this time I went early and was amazed at how relatively empty it was, even on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. I would definitely recommend checking this out sooner rather than later as it can get extremely crowded!
Check out the open rink:
General admission is $11 Monday – Friday and $15 on weekends and Friday at 5pm. Unfortunately there is no children’s admission but kids 3 and under are free.
