Introduction
If it is a brisk, Chicago afternoon or a cool, winter evening, the McCormick Tribune Ice Rink is a great place to be. Situated in gorgeous Millennium Park underneath the city's glimmering, blue and white cityscape, this ice rink is a wonderful place to experience and admire the city while delighting in the simple pleasures of skating with friends and family. At only five dollars for a pair of skates, it's also a cheap way to get outside and feel wind rushing by as you glide along the ice. After skating, stroll out of the rink and immerse yourself in the peace of the lawns and gardens within the city's historic park.

A nice winter pass time
I never ice skated outdoors!!! And while it snowed!!! Something about that was very magical and I am so glad my bf dragged me here with his living social deal.LINE: Horrible, esp when you're freezing you butt off in the negative degrees. At least we could watch the ice skaters while we waited for over 45minutes. Best to show up super early or super late. Security was strict, they made sure no one cut in.SHOES: Wear socks. They'll keep your shoes hostage til you return the skatesTIP: From experience, try getting a shoe size that's a lil smaller than usual. I had this issue a while back and it was very painful to stand on the skates... felt like I was about to twist my ankle because the bottom part was so lose.CAFE: is right next door, they have hot cocoa and coffee
Although the general activity of ice skating was fun the rink really disappointed me. We seemed to have to get off the ice every 30mins and it took what felt like hours to go back on. The rink was very crowded and I got pushed over a lot. The people who were sorting out the skates were very distracted and unprofessional. It telly wasn't for me. The good part was that you could see the beautiful skyscrapers.
Who doesn't love a date ice skating (even if you're terrible)?
