Staying active during cold winter months can be pretty difficult, but getting your kids to engage in some physical activity can be even trickier. If you’re looking for a sport you can all participate in as a family, here’s why ice skating is your best shot.
Great Timing
Unlike many other classes you can sign up your kids for, ice skating doesn’t come with a pre-arranged schedule. Unless your mini-me is taking lessons, you can simply hit the rink together whenever it suits you.
Close Watch
The great thing about ice skating as a family is that you can keep a close watch on your kids. In addition to helping them learn the ropes, you’ll be around to make sure they’re wearing a helmet and being careful on the ice.
Fresh Air
There’s something truly magical about outdoor skating rinks because they allow you to skate surrounded by a beautiful backdrop while enjoying some fresh air. Almost every major city offers at least one during the winter, but skating indoors is always an option.
