The organizer describes it as a celebration of winter with outdoor ice skating, a heated warming haus, festive food and drinks and seasonal events, so families can skate under the lights, warm up with cocoa and then head into the drive-through show. It suits kids who can already stand on skates as well as little ones who just want to watch and snack. Saturdays open in the afternoon, the other days are evening-only. The site's schedule-of-events page will list special nights; prices for skating were not yet printed in late October, so check before you go and dress for an outdoor rink. ## Similar picks in Minneapolis - [Magic of Lights at Viking Lakes (Eagan)](https://grassyknees.com/minneapolis/activities/magic-of-lights-at-viking-lakes-eagan--listing-5b95b9afae2b2b0dc05dfd6f) — Nov 20 – Jan 2 · 5:30 PM · Viking Lakes, Eagan · All ages · From $21.99 · checked Oct 27.
