When temperatures climb, you need to find a cool place to hang out. There’s no place chillier than a building full of ice, and the Moylan Ice Plex in Omaha is Nebraska’s largest ice rink. Lace up your skates and head out onto a sheet of ice for a fun summer outing that will keep you nice and cool.
When the temperatures climb, you'll want to dig out your winter coat, hat, and gloves. It sounds odd, but for the coolest summer activity in Nebraska, you'll want to bundle up. A trip to the Moylan Tranquility Iceplex is the perfect way to escape the heat.
It might be toasty outside, but this ice rink maintains an indoor temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit. The rink offers public skating sessions almost every day of the week.
At this rink, you'll find not one, but TWO sheets of ice. It boasts a regular, NHL-sized rink as well as an Olympic-sized rink, which is 15 feet wider. Moylan Tranquility Iceplex has the only Olympic-sized rink in the state.
The public skate sessions are the perfect way to introduce your kids to the joy of skating. If you're hoping to groom a little hockey player or future figure skating champion, get 'em out on the ice at a young age.
You can also look into enrolling your kids in one of the many ice skating classes offered here. They're a great introduction to skating, and a fun way to stay active.
