MB Financial Park’s “FROZEMONT”
Keep your eyes open as you glide through the holiday light spectacular at Rosemont's entertainment hub. The "FROZEMONT" attraction includes an ice skating rink and Polar Peak Tubing Hill. The NHL-sized ice skating rink opens to the public for free ice-skating at 11 a.m. on Nov. 27 followed by skating appearances and photo opps with Santa, ice carving, and free horse-drawn sleigh rides throughout the evening. The Polar Peak Tubing Hill will open Dec. 11 and costs $3 per run.
