Cool Idea: Free Figure Skating Show at Flushing Meadow Park
My daughter has been giving me a lot of strange looks lately but none stranger than when I told her we were going to see an ice show in the middle of August. All summer the Ice Theatre of New York has been giving free youth performances at the World Ice Arena in Flushing Meadow Park. The show includes a talented line-up of figure skating up and comers and is geared toward giving children an opportunity to see the arts. The shows music and performances were spectacularly entertaining for kids and adults. Our personal favorite was a duet done to Johnny Cash’s “ I’m An Everywhere Man” which includes some western skating and a cowboy hat. The season finale show is going on next Saturday August 29th and will begin at 7pm. This is a fantastically cool event and is not to be missed. It is totally free and the kids will have a blast doing something out of the ordinary.

It is not as cold as you might think but a sweater would be a good thing to bring.
Food is totally allowed so bring a snack if your little ones get hungry
There is an open skating session after the show so if you feel like it, go for a skate and try out some moves.
The World Ice Arena holds open ice skating all year round and is available for birthday parties as well.
