Skate your way through the holidays with ease

Keen on gliding effortlessly into the New Year? A pair of Phoenix winter wonderlands await.

If traditional ice skating strikes your fancy, head to Skate Westgate where 3,500-square-feet of real ice awaits – smack dab in the heart of the Fountain Park plaza. Onsite tickets and skate rentals are available (on a first-come, first-served basis), through Jan. 16.

No need to be on edge with little ones underfoot. Instead, slide into big fun at the Children’s Museum of Phoenix where a wonderland of white, slippery tiles (think ice, minus the chill) awaits. Enjoy Sock Skating, with admission, through Jan. 29.

Very cool indeed.
