Idaho Falls ice rink opens

The ice rink at Tautphaus Park in Idaho Falls is open for the season.

The rink is open for public skating every day from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. If you don’t have your own skates, you can rent them for $3.

The city is expanding the classes and open public skating.

“We’re really excited,” said Parks and Recreation Director Greg Weitzel. “This year we’re doing a public skate on Friday nights from 7 to 9. It’s a great date night. It’s a great thing for families to come out. …”

Hockey lessons and private figure skating lessons will be offered on the ice as well. You can find the schedule at bit.ly/Hxdz5o.
