Skate into the season and visit some of the wonderful parks and venues the city of London offers. From ice trail skating in Storybook Gardens, to the free ice pads put on every year in Victoria Park, there are plenty of places to lace up and glide. Go for a solo evening skate, or gather up a crew, and end your night with some good food.

With their exhilarating ice trail, and beautiful scenery, you can’t go wrong visiting Storybook Gardens this winter. And of course, don’t forget to start or stop your skate with an amazing treat from the Beavertail stand. You can check out the Storybook Garden website for tickets and details. 

Victoria Park is a free-to-skate ice pad, with rental skates also available for $5.00. You can check the London recreation website to check ice conditions anytime you feel that urge to break out the skates. 

Tamarine by Quynh Nhi is flavour above all things. Centrally located downtown, this is a perfect place to end off your evening of skating with some incredible food. It’s sure to be a favourite of those with cravings for something completely new and exciting.

Waldo’s on King is casual, elegant, and the perfect place to relax before or after an enjoyable skate. It’s also an excellent place to grab brunch or lunch with family and friends. Why not plan for a late morning stop to Waldo’s, before making your way over to the ice for an afternoon skate.
