You might have seen the hint if you attended Trucks By the Tracks a couple of weeks ago at Railroad Park, but the announcement is official… this winter season you’ll be able to lace up your skates and skate around a 50′ by 70′ foot rink with real ice starting the day after Thanksgiving, Nov. 25 at 10 a.m. It’ll be open through mid-January, including Christmas and New Years.
The cost will be $10 each for a two-hour session and a discounted rate of $8 per skater for groups of 20 or more. Ice skates will be available for rental or you may bring your own.
Hours will be:
11 a.m. until 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Christmas Day and New Year’s Day: noon until 8 p.m.
The Boxcar cafe will be selling hot chocolate and other cold weather refreshments.
In addition to ice skating, the park will also feature the American Family Care Holiday Market every Saturday from Nov. 26 through Dec. 24. featuring merchants selling seasonal merchandise.
We don’t know about you, but we can’t wait for this little bit of a winter wonderland in our very own Downtown Birmingham!
