Skate rentals cost $6 per pair, and ice sleds can be rented for $7 per hour.

The rink-side warming hut boasts indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and a concession stand sells hot chocolate, pop, popcorn, hot dogs, chips and candy.

Concessions stand and skate rental hours are 4 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 9:30 p.m. Sundays and most school holidays.

Edina's 12 outdoor ice skating rinks are expected to open on Tuesday, Dec. 17.
