The Bloomington Ice Center is set to glide into the fall season with a free “Return to the Rink” Open Skate on Sunday, September 8, from 2:30 to 4:00 PM. This inaugural event is designed to welcome both new and returning skaters for an afternoon of ice-skating fun.
The Open Skate will feature complimentary admission and free skate rentals for all attendees. In addition to open skating, guests will enjoy on-ice games, mini-lessons, and skating demonstrations. Concessions will also be available for purchase.
Michael Hernbrott, Manager of the Bloomington Ice Center, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “Not only is it family fun time, but it’s a great opportunity for those looking to learn more about the ice skating and hockey programs we offer here at the Bloomington Ice Center.”
Lindsay Danner, Skating Director, added, “We’re so excited to host this for the first time. This event is more than just an open skate; it is the perfect back-to-school event for young kids and families looking to reunite with friends or get into a new hobby or sport.”
The event serves as a kickoff for fall registration, offering a chance for families to explore the center’s programs. Interested participants can register online at BloomingtonParks.org.
