Editorial Review for McCormick-Tribune Ice Skating Rink – by Citysearch Editors
Overview
Just because it's freezing outside doesn't mean you have to hibernate. With Grant Park as a backdrop, Millennium Park in downtown Chicago is a terrific family-friendly wintertime destination. The ice rink, open from mid-November through early March, is at the city's cultural epicenter, close to theaters, shopping and museums. At 15,910 square feet (200 feet long and 80 feet wide), the skating surface is large enough to accommodate plenty of winter revelers.
Facts
Skating is free to the public; skate rental is available for $7 per session. Warm up with a mug of hot chocolate or munch on a sandwich from the concession area.

This arena's always been my favorite. It wasn't as heavily visited as State Street but had the best view of the city.
Pros: great view
Cons: parking
