Atlantic Station made sure Atlanta got an early start on the holiday season! Skate Atlantic Station is now open! My family and I had fun lacing up the skates and taking some turns around the oval. Sure it’s a little cold, but it is winter people! Put on a coat and maybe some gloves and you’ll be fine!
Skate Atlantic Station, the 10,000-square-foot, open-air ice-skating rink, will be open from now through February 14, 2015. This unique, track-style rink offers a magical winter atmosphere to skaters with lights, holiday décor, and both contemporary and holiday music. It is sure to have you dreaming of a white Christmas. (Wait…snowmaggedon is still too fresh. No white Christmas. NO WHITE CHRISTMAS.)
Check out how well my 6 year old is ice skating!
