This winter, there will be a maximum of 100 people at a time.

There will be a 50-minute time limit per person during peak periods to ensure everyone can get a turn.

But when you aren't on the ice, you won't need to freeze, thanks to the warming stations.

As of Saturday, December 5, you'll also be able to treat yourself to a mouthwatering dessert at the Beavertails stand that is open Friday through Sundays.

It is time to make plans; skating after dark on the illuminated rink for a magical date night.
