Ice Skating Rinks
Fair Oaks Farms has fun activities for every season, including winter. An ice skating rink and 135-foot-long ice slide are open from mid-November through the beginning of March, weather permitting. Warm up in their ice dome, with food and beverages available for purchase every weekend.
In Valparaiso you can skate at Central Park Plaza from mid-November through the beginning of March, and the City of Crown Point has a rink for ice skating and hockey at Bulldog Park starting Thanksgiving weekend. These rinks are open when the ice is frozen solid.
You can also skate indoors all year long at Kube Sports Complex.
