Where a card says no price or no hours listed, the venue does not publish it. We would rather leave the gap than fill it with a guess. Prices come from each venue's own website, and we publish one only when the figure appears on the page we took it from. Tell us if we are missing one you know.

How did Mini Navigators choose these ice skating rinks?
We list every one we have within 48 miles of the center of Chicago. Each is a published place with an address we geocoded and checked, and the business can claim its listing to keep the hours and prices current.
Do adults have to pay?
It varies more than you would expect, from free to full price, and it changes the cost of a visit by a lot when there are two of you. The price on each card is what it costs to get a child in. None of the places on this page publish a price, so call ahead before you rely on a figure from anywhere else.
Do I need to book ahead?
Check the public session times first. Rinks close to the public for hockey and figure skating, sometimes for most of the day. Where a venue publishes a booking page, the listing links straight to it.
What should I bring?
Gloves, thick socks and a warm layer. Falls are part of it and the ice is cold and wet. Whatever else you need is in the notes beside the listings above.
What else is there to do with kids in Chicago?
Chicago has 20 categories of kid-friendly places on Mini Navigators, from playgrounds and museums to splash pads and zoos. The Chicago hub lists all of them.
