Fans will be able to enjoy the gorgeous summer and fall weather while skating on real ice.
The Chicago Blackhawks Skate by the Lake Ice Rink is part of Navy Pier's 100th anniversary celebration and will be branded with Blackhawks logos, colors and designs.
“We are proud to partner with Navy Pier on this innovative and unique experience for our fans,” said Blackhawks Executive Vice President Jay Blunk. “Navy Pier is the most visited attraction in the state of Illinois and the outdoor rink provides a chance for tremendous exposure for the Blackhawks brand. In addition, we will be providing everyone an interactive opportunity to ice skate in one of the most inviting settings in the country.”
As part of the partnership, the Blackhawks will host watch parties for the World Cup of Hockey. Nine Blackhawks players will represent their country in the tournament.
The unique ice rink is open to the public from noon until 10 p.m. daily through the end of October. Tickets cost $10 for guests with their own skates and $15 for those who need to rent skates.
