Although we’ve lucked out with the weather thus far, there’s no denying the holiday season is official upon us! This past Saturday St. Paul rolled out a charming annual tradition with Wells Fargo WinterSkate, a free, outdoor ice rink in the heart of downtown.

With the gorgeous backdrop of the historic Landmark Center, not to mention the twinkling winter wonderland of Rice Park just a hop, skip, and a jump away, WinterSkate is a seasonal tradition that you ought not miss. WinterSkate is a perfect day trip for the family, a delightful date night for that special lady or gent, or perhaps even a solo mission (those fancy ice skatin’ moves need an audience, are we right?). The best part? It’s free (skate rentals are a mere $2 or free when you present your Wells Fargo card), so you can save your moola for more important things, like a nightcap at Pazzaluna, or an appetizer at the St. Paul Hotel’s Bar. Make it a St. Paul experience!

The 2011/2012 rink season is November 26, 2011 through February 5, 2012.

Skate rental is $2 per person. Receive free skate rental for you and your immediate family by showing your Wells Fargo check card or credit card. (Other Wells Fargo accounts, documentation, or correspondence are not accepted for free skate rental.) Figure skates and hockey skates are available from little tyke one-size-fits-all up to adults’ size 13. 

*NOTE:  Monday – Thursday youth hockey and corporate broomball take place at 5pm.  All skaters will be asked to clear the rink at 4:50pm.
