As much as we love our milder winter climate, those who do enjoy certain winter activities may find themselves looking for opportunities to travel outside of the state for more options. Thankfully, you don’t have to go far, with our neighbors in North Carolina offering plenty of winter fun, such as ski resorts, a winter mountain coaster, snow tubing, and more in the tiny town of Banner Elk. But if you want to stay in-state, ice skating is one of the handful of quintessential winter activities in South Carolina!

Old Town Rock Hill is one of the cities in South Carolina where you can go ice skating during the winter. Founders Holiday Ice Rink is located on Saluda Street across from Fountain Park in historic downtown Rock Hill.
