Lace up your skates and enjoy the brand new outdoor Glice Rink - an eco-friendly ice skating experience! It looks like ice and feels like ice, but it’s not ice! No water or electricity is required for operation of the Glice Rink, so Glice skating adds fun to your holiday without adding an impact to the environment. The open air Glice Rink is located in Mistletoe Village on the lawn overlooking Hyde Lake.
Rates and rink hours coming soon!
