You often hear people sing about walking in a winter wonderland this time of year, but living in Minnesota in the winter is like living in that winter wonderland! There is nothing that creates that image of winter wonderlands better than ice skating with a backdrop of snow covered land and trees. Whether you want to skate outdoors or inside in a temperature controlled environment, the possibilities are many in Edina.
A popular Edina ice rink is at Centennial Lakes Park. Open year round for a large assortment of outdoor activities, when the lake freezes hard enough, it becomes a maintained public ice skating rink. 10 acres of ice will give you both a workout and afternoon of family fun. There are even Norwegian ice sleds to enjoy! When the cold gets too much for you, head over to the park’s Centrum building, purchase a cup of hot chocolate from the concession stand and warm up next to a roaring fire.
If the weather is just too darn cold for you, if it’s snowing or raining, or even if it’s a hot summer day, you can still enjoy a spin around the ice. A popular indoor Edina rink is Braemar Arena. Braemar offers both open skating times and skating lessons for all ages and skill levels. Braemar Arena is also home to the Edina Hornets hockey team, the Braemar-City of Lakes Figure Skating Club and the Edina Hockey Association.
There are many other skating rinks open during the winter in Edina and the greater Twin Cities areas. You can find a list of local rinks at RinkTime.com.
If you are relocating to Edina from a warmer climate, you might be surprised at just how many outdoor activities Minnesotans participate in. What would you consider the best winter time recreation?
