Did you know that there’s a hidden skating rink in Toronto and it’s free to use? Grab those skates and get ready to glide! 1 Hotel Toronto is celebrating the winter season with not only a rooftop Apres ski experience but a free skating rink, tucked away from the busy crowds.

Make your way to 550 Wellington Street W and right behind 1 Hotel Toronto’s outdoor patio (the Garden Pavillion in the summer), is where you’ll find the skating rink.

The long and narrow rink is completely free for public use, making it a great spot to enjoy some time on the ice. All you need to do is bring your own skates, lace up, and glide across the frozen surface! It’s a wonderful winter experience you don’t want to miss out on.

You can enjoy a day on the ice, every day from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
