## About

A New Year's Eve public skate timed for kids: skating starts at 10:45 a.m. at the Skatium Ice Arena, and the rink rings in the new year at noon with a balloon drop on the ice. Admission and skate rental are paid at the door; season passes do not apply to themed skates. A good fit for families whose children won't last until midnight.
