Today we are throwing on the coat and heading outside to enjoy some outdoor ice skating in the beautiful Rocky Mountain air. I don’t know about you, but I could use a few laps around the rink after that holiday cheesecake.

Here are some of the rinks in Denver and the SOuth Suburbs you can check out.  Have I missed any?  If so, feel free to add them in the comments.

The Cube at The Streets of Southglenn – Centennial, CO

One of the newer ice rinks around town, The Cube is not very large, but very fun.  My kids have a blast and then we head in to Mellow Mushroom or Tokyo Joe’s afterward for something warm.  Prices vary but there is even a student special on Tuesday afternoons where the kids skate free with skate rental and earn points in the Street Smart program for their school.  Additionally, Monday nights are BOGO.  They also have Sunday night Broomball Games – fun!!  All prices, hours & details.

Evergreen Lake – Evergreen, CO

Evergreen Lake is one of the best places to skate in the state of CO as far as I am concerned.  I love Evergreen Lake in the winter and the summer.  Make sure you call ahead to make sure its open (720-880-1391), there has been some warm weather, so its always good to check before making the drive.  There are even pond hockey games, so bring your stick!

The Rink at Belmar – Lakewood, CO

Another fun rink among an outdoor shopping center – Belmar has good food & fun and a rink too.  Kids are $4, adults $6 and skate rental is $3.

Southwest Rink at Skyline Park – Downtown Denver, CO

If you are planning on heading into downtown Denver, you can lace your skates up there as well.  The downtown rink this year is sponsored by Southwest Airlines, and is located at 16th and Arapahoe.  Skate rental is only $2 and if you bring your own skates, you can ice skate for free, sweet!

The Pond at Southlands – Aurora, CO

Skating at Southlands is fun and will cost you $8 if you bring your skates, $10 if you need a rental.  The skate rinks in the shopping center are always a good time as you can warm up afterwards in a nearby restaurant with great food & drinks.

Highlands Ranch at Town Center – Highlands Ranch, CO

Adding this because it is a rink and it is outdoors but I am still just not sure how I feel about the synthetic rink.  I haven’t seen loads of people on it yet this year, but maybe I just look at the wrong times?  Convince me otherwise…  I love living in Highlands Ranch and for the most part I think our facilities and amenities are great. But this is one I am still not sold on.

Now if it gets REALLY cold out and you want to spend sometime indoors but still want to skate, there are plenty of indoor rinks around town as well, just check their calendars for open skate times.

Sounds like lots of fun Steve.  I'm so close to Southlands, there's no excuses for me not to go (other than the freezing weather right now).  Wear your ear mufflers.
