Lace-up those skates, Ottawa's Rink Of Dreams opened on December 3.

The free attraction is open daily from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. until the end of the skating season, and you can find it outside of city hall.

It is the perfect spot to enjoy the sunshine as you glide across the ice.

Or you can visit at night when it looks extra spectacular as there are multi-colour lights all around.
