## About

Experience winter right outside the historic gates of Wrigley Field! Winterland at Gallagher Way transforms the ballpark plaza into a sparkling festival featuring the 8,000-square-foot Gallagher Ice Rink, glowing holiday trees, and open-air German huts from Christkindlmarket Wrigleyville.

Families can lace up skates beneath the glowing red Wrigley Field marquee, try out ice bumper cars, ride the carousel and holiday train, and meet Santa on select evenings. Rink admission is $8 and visitors may bring their own skates or rent on-site. Warm up with artisan Bavarian pretzels, spiced glühwein for parents, and creamy hot cocoa for the kids.
