Free Skate. Well, Almost Free, at the Kettler Capitals Ice Complex

Arlington sponsors a public skate time on Tuesdays, for $1, including skate rental. Such a great deal I just added our hand-me-down skates to the Goodwill pile.  For the summer of 2009, these sessions will be from 5:00-6:00 on Tuesdays.  Ice skating is a creative way to cool off.  If you grab a coffee, beer, or chocolate milk from the snack bar, keep an eye out for Caps players, past, present and future. This complex is their practice facility.  A parking discount is offered for skaters, or take the metro to Ballston.

If Grandma is paying, look into the Learn To Skate programs, including Mom/Dad and me class.  Price for 7 sessions is around $185, and includes passes to use the rink during the week.
