Inclusive Skaters Nights
Tuesdays, Dec. 3 & Jan. 28: 5 – 8 pm
A welcoming environment for skaters with physical or developmental challenges to enjoy the rink.
Non-motorized wheelchairs are always allowed on the rink, but Inclusive Skaters Night gives those with disabilities the opportunity to enjoy Green Mountain Energy Ice with a smaller crowd and their families right by their side. Best of all – special skaters skate for free!
Skate guardians and family members will need to purchase a ticket. Tickets must be purchased in person.
