The Oval has a nice walking track around the rink up above the bleachers, and there weren't a ton of people on the track when we were there on a Monday afternoon. Best thing is there are benches all along the track, so if you get tired, you can always sit down anytime. Only drawback is the noise- it is extremely loud when hockey practice is happening, so definitely bring earplugs! Hours vary, so here is a link to the calendar: https://www.cityofroseville.com/DocumentCenter/View/29030/12-December-Walking?bidId=

Things to know:…read more 1)There's a a fee to enter and another to rent skates. Because I was accompanying kids and didn't plan to skate, there was no entry fee. 2) There's an online schedule showing the different event times, and when applicable target ages. We brought my partners kids on a Thursday during the 5p-7:30p slot because 8-10p was 21+ (that day). The 5p slot didnt list ages, but tuns out it was mostly little kids. Additional teens and older people started showing up later, but still seemed younger age focused (with group games like hula hoop). 3) There's a decent number of arcade games for the space. If you don't have quarters, you can use the change machine. While the assortment of games was good, my gripe is that we counted 84 tickets won playing. However their ticket counting machine only accounted for 66. While the experience was okay, I think it's a nice option with a good selection of music, decent sized rink, fair pricing (cant speak for concessions) and a nostalgic feel. Check it out for yourself.

Cheap Skate does have certain hours so be sure to call ahead or check online. I believe there are hours for family/kids and some evening for just adults. So fun for everyone. I was able to purchase tickets online but you do need to check-in when you get there despite the check-in on the online scannable ticket. I took my kiddos for some skating fun and oh how it brought back memories! Cheap Skate has a 90s feel to it but with all the hip music of nowadays. A great workout and all around fun. The cost to skate isn't bad but like anything now-a-days you for pay for everything. In addition to the fee to get in and skate, there is a rental skate fee, locker fee, and obviously arcade, bouncy houses, and food. Speaking of food we got some icees, soda, pizza, and ice cream. Pretty pricey for what it was but for an easy access to food without leaving - exactly what you'd expect. The screens telling you what you can order either weren't working or not turned on properly when I went to order (about an hour in) so I had to ask what food items were available. My kids weren't interested in the bouncy house or the arcade although as a typical arcade there are tickets where you can exchange for prizes. We had so much fun and we were so exhausted by the end. Overall, I would highly recommend if you're looking indoor fun.

There is a heated room at the north end with a decent view of the ice where you can stand in relative warmth, eats or drink from vending machines, and see team photos from the local youth leagues. In a state of awesome arenas, this is a perfectly functional arena in a convenient (for those in the north burbs at least) convenient easy to find location on Hwy 96. Added local bonus: great library across the street; indoor pool and water park at nearby Shoreview Community Center; a handful of restaurants within 1-2 mile drive. Bring gloves, a hat, and a seat cushion.

WinterSkate is the Cutest. Date. Ever…read more Outdoor activities are one of those things that make Twin Cities winters slightly more bearable. Rice Park is another one of those things, with its pretty twinkling lights... and the majestic Landmark Center backdrop doesn't hurt either. Together, WinterSkate comes to life as an outdoor rink right in the middle of St. Paul. This year, it's open from Nov. 26 to Feb. 5. They have a warming house for changing your skates and staying cozy. The rink itself isn't huge, but I basically just need room to lurch around like a Frankenstein and then fall... so I'm good. Best part aside from the fact that you have an instant date-night? Skate rentals are only $2 and the rink itself is FREE. So what are you waiting for? Oh yeah, winter has to come first. Thanks, Wells Fargo, for making winter a little more fun!

The opening of the WinterSkate rink in Rice Park is a kickoff to the holiday season for many of us…read morein St Paul. It's a free city event where you have the opportunity to see local figure skaters cut loose on fresh ice. After that, you can wander across the street for live musical entertainment. You can get a first glimpse of the upcoming year's winter carnival button -- and watch the official lighting of the Holiday tree (and all the other trees) in Rice Park, accompanied by fireworks. A perfect holiday night. Rice park is the perfect strolling park when you're on a date at the Ordway, Riverwalk Center, Xcel Center, or anywhere else in downtown St Paul. The skating rink also makes it a great stand-alone family destination in the winter from November (when the rink opens) to the new year when Rice Park hosts the annual Ice Castle.

If you were in The Mighty Ducks movie, I'd give you five stars too…read more This arena has two separate indoor rinks. There is a large indoor, heated common space entrance between the two rinks, just inside the main entrance. Plenty of free parking outside. The 5-star draw here is that The Mighty Ducks was filmed inside the spacious, wood framed, classic original rink. There is a "newer" second rink. Both rinks have plenty of seating, nice locker rooms and good ice when I skated there.

They have a pretty standard locker room--hot and smelly. The bathrooms were clean and had plenty of toilet paper (women's at least) The stands were clean. The games and locker room #'s were listed on the little TV so we knew where to go and someone helped us find the locker rooms (I think a hockey dad.) I wasn't too hot or too cold sitting in the stands. This was our last game of the season and I never noticed this happening at any other rink but the players were falling all over the place, it seemed especially slippery on the edges of the rink. Another hockey mom said that sometimes if the temperature is too cold the ice get super slippery. All I know is that it look like a comedy of errors with the players sliding into the boards and falling on top of each other. The parking lot did seem poorly designed, but they're all a little poorly designed. Lots of steps to walk up and no sliding doors, but I had people in front of me opening the doors for me, and these were 14-year-old boys, so all was well. There was also a restaurant at one end of the rink, but I didn't peek in so I don't know the details. Next time..,

The holes are pretty good distances, well kept, and very scenic. The course is crowded usually, but not in an unbearable way at all. It is one of the harder courses to lose a disc at, except for the 13th hole (the last one). Just be careful to stay to the right so you don't end up in the river!
