The rink offers free “Learn to Skate” lessons, supported by the McDonald’s Active Lifestyles Endowment managed by the Millennium Park Foundation, in partnership with the Chicago Youth Foundation.

For accessibility, both electric and manual wheelchairs are allowed on the ice when accompanied by a skater. You can receive additional accessibility information by contacting DCASE at DCASE@cityofchicago.org.
