Eight great winter dates
1) Ice Skating
For the couples adventurous enough to break out the skates in the cold, ice skating will be sure to create laughs and memories. Dress with layers and head down town to Milwaukee County’s Red Arrow Park. Home to Slice of Ice this outdoor refrigerated rink will accommodate 100 skaters at a time. The rink is 128-by-95 feet of refrigerated oval. The rink is bordered by a 3-foot-6-inch railing, so even if you’re not a skater, you can still come out to enjoy the ice. Inside the warming house, there are floor-to-ceiling windows. Or you and your date can overlook from the rooftop at the great (and probably entertaining) view of what’s happening on the ice. Skate Rental has skate sizes that range from toddler size 8, to women’s size 11 and men’s size 14
Age 18 & Up: $8/pair*
Age 17 & Under: $7/pair*
*price listed includes tax
2) Go to a Sporting Event Together
