Ice Skating Rinks In and Around Jersey City
When looking for a cold-weather activity that will suit the whole family, you might sometimes feel like you’re on thin ice. However, ice skating is a great way to get active and bond with your family during the winter! We just put together a list of Ice Skating Rinks in and Around Jersey City for you! In case you get hungry after, check out these yummy food options. From burgers to vegan options, there is something for everyone.
PS for when you go:
– Bring your little one’s bike/scooter helmet. Many of these places offer helmet rentals, but if you have one, bring one!
– Dress appropriately! Some of these rinks are outdoors or partially covered, so it’s cold there! Dress little ones in a snowsuit with layers. If they fall on the ice (which they do a lot), they will get wet, so snow pants are best. But, don’t forget about you. Try double socks to keep your feet warm in the rental skates.
– Leave your bag at home or in the car. We know this one seems obvious, but we found ourselves at the ice skating rink with a backpack and nowhere to leave it. Try just taking the essentials in your pockets or locking your bag in the trunk of your car while skating.
