Ice Ribbon at J. Lynn Crane Plaza (Herriman)

Opening for the season on Dec. 2, this outdoor ice ribbon in Herriman is a treat. Instead of a circular rink, the ribbon gives skaters a path to follow surrounded by beautiful mountain views and seasonal lights. Just remember the center warns if it’s snowing outside, “Yes, we are still open!”

The center offers three free skate days on Feb. 3, 10 and 17, 2025.

A rink and ice ribbon combo, the newly built Millcreek Common boasts the state’s largest outdoor skating rink at 11,000 square feet of ice. It has loads of features to make the ice skating experience unique too. 

Music, lights and surrounding restaurants make it a whole outing, with a DJ coming to join the fun on Fridays and Saturdays. Ice skating begins Nov. 30 and the roller blading area freezes over. 

A $5 ice show is offered from Dec. 5 through 7.
