The Bloomington Ice Garden is hosting a Valentine's special that could have couples twirling on the ice rather than the dance floor. As part of the city's Winter Fete 2025, the Date Skate event, set for February 14 on Rink 1, invites those aged 16 and over to lace up their skates and coast together from 6:45 P.M. to 8:15 P.M.
The event costs $15 per duo—skate rental included. While reservations aren't required, and tickets can be snagged right at the entrance, this glide in the cold could be the hot ticket for lovebirds looking to change up the status quo. Concessions will stand by for the peckish ones, available for purchase throughout the evening.
The event is stationed at 3600 W. 98th St., opening its doors to a demographic of couples seeking to celebrate the day of love with something a touch more active than a box of chocolates. "Couples age 16 and older are welcome to attend," promotes Bloomington's official announcement, ensuring that high school sweethearts and those well beyond can partake in the icy festivities.
