Indoor & Outdoor Ice Skating Rinks near the Denver Tech Center

By Kyrie Collins, Highlands Ranch-Parker-Castle Rock-Lone Tree Publisher December 13, 2023

DID YOU KNOW? An hour of ice skating burns about as many calories as jogging but is lower impact and way more fun.

Whether you're looking for a fun family outing or a romantic date night, ice skating is a great winter activity and a memorable holiday tradition.

Following is a list of ice rinks — both indoor and outdoor — that we've found in the Denver Metro area. Outdoor rinks can have a pretty short skating season, so take advantage of the opportunity this winter!
