It’s the most wonderful time of the year and there’s no better place to enjoy the festive lights and fresh air in Calgary than Olympic Plaza!

Located in the heart of downtown, this enchanting destination is the only refrigerated outdoor ice surface in the city which means that even on warmer days, it’ll remain safe and accessible to the public.

It’s also the perfect spot for a photo op thanks to its twinkling LEDs, trees and the fantastic view of the Calgary Tower and City Hall.

Interested in checking it out?

Olympic Plaza is open between 6 am and 11 pm 7 days a week, though it’s worth noting that their rental hut is closed on Monday and Tuesday and before 4 pm as well as after 9 pm.

In addition to skates, they also rent out helmets and skating aids AND they offer sharpening services.

Enjoy and have fun, Calgary! It’s going to be a fantastic season.
