Outdoor Skating Rink In Niagara Lets You Glide Under Sparkling Lights & Sip Boozy Drinks

It’s time to lace up and hit the ice! A Niagara skating rink will let you glide under sparkling lights, sip boozy drinks and warm up by the fire all winter long.

Pillar and Post have transformed The Gardens of their location into a winter wonderland, which includes a massive rink that is free for all to use.

Once you have tired out from doing a few laps around the rink, you can cozy up by one of the many fireplaces blazing throughout the garden.

The OutPost (an outdoor café) will also be open throughout the winter so you can fuel up on some tasty snacks and drinks.

Grab a warm salted pretzel, salted caramel popcorn, s’more brownie and more. The spot also has draft beer, wine and fun winter cocktails.

If you’re feeling festive you can try their Chocolate Caliente (with tequila, hot chocolate, secret spices and whipped cream). Or, go for the winter mojito (which comes with spiced rum, fresh lime juice, herb-infused simple syrup, fresh mint and soda water).

This skating rink in Niagara has community skate hours from 1:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday and 1:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. from Friday to Saturday. (There are a few black-out dates you can view on the company website.)

If you don’t have a pair of skates, you can rent some for $5.00 on location. Pets are not allowed in The Gardens and no hockey sticks, pucks or balls are allowed on the ice.

Hotel guests through Vintage Hotels will have exclusive access to the rink from 11:00 a.m. to 1 p.m. every day.
