Sometimes it’s OK to be cliché—and why not indulge when ice skating in the desert occurs only once a year? For the third year, in the heart of downtown Phoenix, CityScape will be opening their annual ice skating rink. CityScape is the city’s newest project and a favorite entertainment venue for Valley locals. Open to the public Monday through Friday, 5:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 3:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. ice skating downtown is the ideal date for grabbing a bite to eat and heading to the rink afterwards. Visitors do not have to fret about parking—the convenience of underground parking is provided. 1 East Washington Street, Phoenix AZ, 85004, 480-947-7772. www.cityscapephoenix.com
