Peltzer Ice Rink

Skaters take to an 8,400-square-foot outdoor real ice rink sheltered beneath a large white tent on the farm. Beginner skaters can use complimentary gliders to help navigate the ice. Between skating sessions, visitors can relax at picnic benches, grab bites from local food trucks, and visit the Rink & Drink Bar for hot cocoa, wine, sangria, or craft beer.
