The useful version
Before you promise anyone a skating trip
The covered rink changes with the season. General facility hours are posted, but activity sessions are separate—and the upcoming ice timetable has not been published yet.

Ice admission and rental prices are available. Exact 90-minute session times are still listed as “posted soon.”

Why this site exists
A neighborly answer to “what should we do?”
This is an independent editorial guide, not the Plaza’s official site and not a directory built to rank for every possible phrase. We check primary sources, flag what has not been announced, and write for people who live here as well as visitors.
Our monthly review covers hours, seasonal programming, featured events and broken links. When a detail can change your trip, we send you to the organizer for the final check.
