About this adventure

The John Rose MN OVAL in Roseville is an outdoor refrigerated ice facility with 110,000 square feet of ice, which the city calls the largest outdoor refrigerated skating facility in the world. A 400-meter speed-skating track circles an infield used for hockey and bandy, and because the ice is refrigerated it stays skateable through mild spells. The winter season runs from mid-November through the first weekend of March, with public skating sessions posted on the city's monthly schedule (separate PDF schedules for the OVAL and the indoor arena). Admission is $9, a 10-session punch card is $70, and rental skates are $5 (sizes limited); skate sharpening is $6. Groups of 20 or more should call ahead. The OVAL stays open unless the wind chill is -25 degrees or lower; closures are posted on SkatetheOVAL.com or the weather line, 651-792-7191.
