Ice Skating Field Trips

Once again open for the 2022/23 season, what better place to take your students for some outdoor winter fun than the Winthrop Rink! Most Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays throughout the season are available for class field trips. Two-hour time slots are available between 10am-2:15pm.

DISCOUNTED SKATING

We offer quantity discounts* based on how many students and adult chaperones you plan to bring on the field trip. We require a minimum of 15 students and adults in order to book a private field trip.  Below is the breakdown of discounts we offer (keep in mind that standard admission and skate rentals for children is $11 and for adults $14):

• 15-20 people = $9/person

• 21-30 people = $8/person

• 31-40 people = $7/person

• 41+ people = $6/person

*discounts are only available for school field trips during the week.

EDUCATIONAL ASPECT

If interested, we offer a tour of our ice plant to explain the science behind the refrigeration system. We also give a demonstration of the Zamboni and describe how the machine shaves the ice, as well as how it dumps the ice after the ice cut. This would last approximately 10-15 minutes and we can leave time for kids to ask questions.
