Description
Toronto has a brand new HUGE skating rink, and it's located right outside of Union Station!!! The city's busiest transit hub is now home to a glassy patch of ice right on Front Street. Taking over the area of Sir John A. Macdonald Plaza—where the clock is Toronto's new public rink and... it is completely free to use. It's the first time the station has ever done something like this. This rink is now the largest public outdoor rink in the city and it stretches nearly half the size of an NHL hockey rink (meaning approximately 100 feet long). TD-sponsored it's a cozy, well-equipped with wooden seating on all sides. Skate and helmet rentals are totally FREE too as are daily skating lessons noon and 4 p.m. There's also a Best Buy Warming Lounge that includes a nice HD TV inside. Also, visit a nice cluster of stalls where vendors will be selling some stocking stuffer-worthy gifts. Come on a Friday or Saturday evenings between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m and you'll be treated to live DJ beats as part of Union Beats. Union Station's rink is open at 65 Front St. East until January 4, opening daily at 11 a.m. It closes at 7 p.m. between Sunday and Wednesday, and 9 p.m. between Thursday and Saturday. Just note that the rink will be closed on Christmas Day.
