Skate a Quarter Mile Framed by the Chicago Skyline

Maggie Daley Park Ice Skating Ribbon takes the familiar winter outing off the standard rink circuit. The course winds through the park for a quarter mile, with gentle slopes adding a change in elevation as you make your way along the ice. It stretches to twice the length of a traditional rink, giving you a longer outdoor route to consider when choosing where to skate.

The surrounding architecture frames the course, with Chicago skyline views accompanying the curves. Keep your attention on the skating, with a little space in your plans to appreciate the downtown setting around it.

Find it at 337 E Randolph St in the Loop. Crowding is worth considering before choosing a date, as the ribbon can get busy. Check current skating availability before making plans, and keep your timing flexible until you have confirmed the details for your outing.
