A Culver Ice Arena Birthday Party for $126
In addition to celebrating the holidays, little ones (including mine) are looking forward to birthdays in the next few weeks. While there are lots of options for candle-lighting fun, Culver Ice Arena offers two party packages for little skaters. For $126, parents can reserve a “Small Room Package” that serves 12 skaters (and holds 20 people total). Figure skate rental is included, as well as admission to public skate time. For $199.50, mom and dad can purchase the “Large Room Package,” which serves 19 skaters and holds up to 40 people total. Each room is reserved for one hour.
