Free Ice Skating is Back in Downtown Denver for the Season

Nov 21, 2023, 5:07 PM

There are a ton of holiday events around Denver this time of year, the only downside is what it would cost you to do them all… You don’t have to worry about the cost for at least one of them, though! 

The Downtown Denver Rink is back for its 13th year, and will provide free skating in Skyline Park at 16th and Arapahoe streets through Sunday, Feb. 11.

Skating is free, with skate rentals available for $9 for kids 12 and under and $11 for adults.

Downtown Denver Partnership said the opening of the rink kicks off “Winter in the City” holiday season festivities that include the 9NEWS Parade of Lights on Saturday, Dec. 2, and the Mile High Tree at Civic Center.
