Outdoor Ice Skating - Christmas Fun Things to Do

Even in the somewhat sultry south, outdoor ice skating CAN be a Christmas tradition! There are three "winter" ice skating rinks available in Raleigh. Only one has real ice, but the experience can be just as memorable no matter which ice skating rink you take your family to.
