Wells Fargo WinterSkate
Ice skating is just one of those things you have to try if you haven’t. We are in Minnesota, after all – Land of 10,000 (plus!) Lakes! A great place to go ice skating is the Wells Fargo WinterSkate which opens this Friday, December 6th.
Wells Fargo WinterSkate is a free, outdoor, artificially-chilled ice skating rink. This year it moves from Landmark Center to the playing surface at CHS Field (the home of the St. Paul Saints). Note that it’s only open through February 22nd, 2020.

Cost & Skate Rental:

Securian SuperSlide

What a beautiful backdrop for skating. I have not skated since I was a kid.
