This is the 30-mile Chicago page, not the city-limits tag page. Maggie Daley Park Ice Skating Ribbon is named as an ice skating ribbon. The listing describes a wide skating track in a park and does not print an opening day. McCormick Tribune Plaza describes seasonal ice-skating on a public square.

The same sentence mentions an outdoor restaurant, so the word outdoor there is not evidence about the ice. It is on this page as seasonal skating.

The suburbs are why this page exists. Heritage Park Outdoor Hockey Rink and Sand Volleyball Courts in Arlington Heights, IL names an outdoor hockey rink.

The same name mentions sand volleyball courts, which are not ice. Kimball Hill Park Winter Ice Skating Pond in Rolling Meadows, IL is named as a winter ice skating pond. West Park Seasonal Ice Rink in Lake Forest, IL is named as a seasonal ice rink. Orland Park Ice Skating Rink (Winter Wonderland Ice Rink) in Orland Park, IL puts Winter Wonderland in the name, so read it as a holiday rink.

Rinks inside Chicago that only carry the site's outdoor tag, including tags picked up from a non-ice amenity, stay on the Chicago city outdoor page. 2 of these 6 listings do not publish weekly hours. Where hours are listed, confirm that they are public skate and not just the building.

Nothing here includes a 2026 opening date or a ticket price. Both change by rink and by season, and they are not in the listing data. Use the rink page for the address and any hours on file, then confirm the date and the price with the rink. The Christmas page is the wider list. Other metros are on the outdoor guide.
