If you’re looking to get active outside this winter, here’s a list of ice rinks open to the public around Minnesota.
If your city is not listed on here, please let me know. Some communities were not included because they do not have updated information for 2021-2022.
For many cities, please note that warming houses may unexpectedly be closed due to staffing shortages.
More so, if you’re considering the idea of creating your own garage hockey rink, it can be a fantastic opportunity for enjoyable family bonding. With simple supplies like lumber, plastic sheeting, and PVC pipes, you can easily set it up in your backyard. This not only ensures an active winter season but also guarantees hours of amusement for both children and adults alike.
