Ice Skating in Palo Alto

Nov 16, 2015 | Palo Alto-Menlo Park

As the temperature begins to cool, it is time to get into the winter spirit! Although we don't get snow or super cold weather, it doesn't mean we shouldn't enjoy things like ice skating! Just down the street, on Middlefield, is ice skating in Palo Alto.

The Winter Lodge has been open since 1956 and is the only permanent outdoor rink west of the Sierra Mountains. We are really lucky to have it right in our backyards, only a few minutes from Mathnasium! It is a great place for winter parties, ice skating lessons and just enjoying some fun winter activities. 

While skating, ask your children these questions to incoorperate math into a fun day on ice!

1) If it is 79 degrees outside, how much must the temperature be lowered to keep the ice frozen?

2) If 3 people need 16 square feet to skate and the rink is 800 square feet, how many people can fit on the rink?

3) Private lessons at the rink cost $200 for 8 weeks. If you have a coupon that gives you a discount of 30% of the lessons, how much do the lessons now cost?
