Skating in Downtown Indy

We took the chance to have the kids ice skate while we were on vacation in Indiana. We searched the internet to find places to skate and found one in downtown Indianapolis within walking distance of something else that we wanted to see.

This picture is of the street we walked down to go into the skating rink. The building on the right is the rink. The level of the ice is about 8 feet below the sidewalk level. Looking in the windows you see down the bleachers to the ice. We had to park in a parking structure, $12, to have the kids skate $3.25 each. Kinda funny that we paid twice the amount of skating to park. This place in right across the street from the big convention center in downtown Indianapolis and kiddy corner from Lucas Oil Stadium the home of the Colts.

Here is Lexy doing what she loves.Isaac always enjoys skating as fast as he can around the ice.

Skating on the road like this always makes us appreciate Butch and the South Charleston Memorial Ice Arena. It is sooooo much nicer that anything else we have seen. (ie. cleaner, maintained, not beat up, much smooter ice, etc.) I have to admit that the ice rinks that we have been to in Utah were nice too, but the kids haven't skated there, yet. Thanks for taking good care of us Butch...!!
