Canal Park is small, but it has a nice restaurant/bar and, in the summer, the ice rink area will have fountains for splashing. We're gonna guess this will be just as busy as Yards Park, which is only a few blocks away. After we'd thoroughly exhausted ourselves, we headed over to Georgetown to Serendipity 3 for some of their famous frozen hot chocolate. And after a run through the Georgetown Waterfront, we figured we'd earned ourselves some more sweets and ducked into Baked & Wired for a cupcake. What? Ice skating is a serious workout (especially, as mom rationalized, when you're dragging a grown man, errr .... a toddler, around the rink, too).
The Ice Rink is generally open:
Monday - Friday: 12 pm - 9 pm
Saturday: 10 am - 10 pm
Sunday: 10 am - 7 pm
But check out the extended holiday hours here. You'll have to pony up a little cash, but it's worth it:
Adult Admission: $8
Children (under 12)/Seniors (55+)/Military Admission: $7
Skate Rental* - $3
*the smallest toddler size skate they have available to rent is an 8, so keep that in mind if your little has really little toes like me. I actually wear a size 6, but the 8 worked out OK for me.
(we know this is a lot of pictures, but there was just so much that HAD to be captured)
i'm ready coach, put me in.
catching a ride with Uncle Tim. i actually did a little "step and skate" myself.
Kane's ice skating experience went mostly like this.
mom is smiling, but innerly flippin' the bird to the show-off skating dog. 'cause just ice skating by itself isn't hard enough.
frozen hot chocolate!
mom eating my head after i refused to share my frozen hot chocolate.
a little game of blind man's bluff/chicken.
me refusing kane's gift of a purple flower after he refused to give it to me for the prior three blocks.
