From January 30th to Feb 28th, 2010 you can ice skate for FREE at the Orange County Great Park! This offer is even sweeter because rentals and helmet rentals are absolutely free!

What a GREAT idea! We try to get to the snow every year but with being pregnant so much, I have not been able to ski – and this year we didn't make it for Christmas either. I was honestly trying to figure out how to get our 2 year old to snow and this solves my problem!! Thank you!!
What an informative blog! Thanks for the info on the free ice skating. My son went with his best friend last weekend – it was their first time – and even though he fell numerous times, he had a blast! I'd love to take him and skate with him…that's one thing that he & I have never done together. Thanks again! 😉
ooooh great one…thanks so much
Thanks so much. My almost 5 year old has crazy amounts of days off of school coming up, I can't wait to take her!
