Looking for a fun winter activity to do with the whole family? We've rounded up spots around Nashville to lace up your skates and hit the ice!
Gulch Ice Skating Rink Pop-up
This limited time rink pop-up opens on Thursday, January 13 and runs through Sunday, January 16. Tickets cost $20 and includes a skate rental and two hours of skate time. 50 percent of ticket sales benefit the Community Resource Center, who will be on site every day collecting items like gently-used winter wear of all sizes. The Rink is synthetic, which means it is smooth and does not require below freezing temperatures for skating. It is open rain or shine but will close for inclement weather. eventbrite.com
