Ice skating is a great way to blow off some energy during the Winter months. And although, I don’t know of any outdoor rinks happening in Newtown this year, there are several local rinks with open skate times, as well as outdoor rinks open at a bit of a drive. See below for options within an hour of Newtown/Danbury.

Please be sure to check all websites before heading out for COVID-19 protocols and ticketing instructions. Many are asking skaters to purchase tickets ahead of time.
