This family-friendly ice skating rink has a lot to offer for not a whole lot of money. And when I say "all ages" I mean it ... if your child is too small for skates you can rent a sled and pull him around the rink.

Skatetown offers group skates if you just want to get out there and go, or you can take a skating lesson. They also offer hockey lessons and leagues, figure skating practice and competition and birthday parties.

If you're just learning to skate, you'll find an unintimidating environment at Skatetown: "bucket helpers" (which are really just stacks of buckets) are available to help you gain balance and confidence before heading out there on your own. There's a snack bar, too.

Beware, the skating rink is cold so make sure to bring a hat and mittens, even if your trip to Skatetown is in August.
