Is This The Best Outdoor Ice Rink in Montana?
Ice skating feels more magical when you enjoy the beauty of what's around you in Montana.
It's winter, and one of the most enjoyable and entertaining activities you can participate in during this time of the year is ice skating. Many folks played hockey growing up, or ice skated occasionally and like to lace up their boots and have some fun on the ice.
Most ice rinks are indoors so folks can stay warm while watching hockey games or events. Plus, it's nice to be protected from bone-chilling frostbite. No one wants to skate and feel miserable.
When the weather is tolerable, ice skating outside can be magical and a fun experience for families and kids.
Places like Bozeman and Philipsburg have outdoor ice rinks, but they don't offer services like skate rentals.
So, where is the best outdoor ice rink in Montana? We might have an answer.

Nothing is better than skating around with friends or family and seeing the winter wonderland of Montana around you. It's a special feeling.
