Wintertime in Missouri means a ton of fun, especially for those of us who love spending time outdoors during the year’s coldest season. While we can all probably use some thrilling winter fun – like snow tubing and sledding – sometimes we just want to slow things down.

When you’re not gliding around the massive rink, relax in the indoor or in the outdoor seating area. If you need to warm up, gather around one of the bonfires between laps.
