Skate in the new year at the Steinberg Skating Rink in Forest Park, the oldest and largest outdoor ice skating rink in the Midwest.
On New Year's Eve, the rink will hold a special skating party for all ages featuring party favors, noisemakers and more than 27,000 feet of frozen fun! There will even be a countdown to midnight. Skate admission is $7, and skate rental is $5. The celebration happens all day (beginning at 10 a.m.) and closes a half hour after the countdown.
