## About

Set in the vibrant heart of Downtown Detroit framed by historic Woodward Avenue skyscrapers and the city's towering 60-foot Christmas tree, The Rink at Campus Martius Park is Michigan's premier open-air urban skating destination. Families glide across the refrigerated ice rink beneath thousands of twinkling holiday lights with festive music filling the air.

Skate trainers and helpers are available on-site to assist toddlers and first-time skaters in maintaining balance. The adjacent heated warming tent offers comfortable seating, skate rentals, and hot cocoa concessions. Rinkside fire pits and casual seating provide ideal rest spots between skating sessions, and nearby Woodward Avenue eateries offer family dining within walking distance.
