9 Toronto Places For The Best Ice Skating This Winter

If there's one winter activity the majority of us can all get behind, it would probably be skating. It's fun, it's festive, and it's undeniably much cheaper than other winter sports (skiing, snowboarding, hockey, to name a few). It's also such a multipurpose activity - it's great for a cute date night, it's super family-friendly, and it makes for the perfect holiday Instagram post for a girls' night out.

Below we've compiled a list of ice rink recommendations that by no means cover all the hidden little gems in your local neighborhood, but nevertheless have garnered quite a reputation across the city for delighting skaters year after year with either twinkling holiday lights, fun DJ dance parties, great views of the city skyline, or delicious hot food and beverages available on-site for warming up after your skating sesh. Have fun!
