Try ice alfresco
Fans of outdoor skating say you can't even compare it to indoor skating. If it starts to snow when you're skating outdoors, it's like a winter wonderland. Even beginners can usually pick up ice skating quickly. Wear two pairs of socks, lace your skates tightly, dress in layers in case you get too warm -- and stay close to the rail (if there is one) if you're nervous.
Some great places to ice skate outdoors? Steinberg Ice Skating Rink (steinbergskatingrink.com) in St. Louis' Forest Park, Chicago's McCormick Tribune Ice Rink and Plaza in Millennium Park (McCormick Tribune Ice Rink and Plaza) and Crown Center Ice Terrace (crowncenter.com) in Kansas City, Missouri.
