The Wichita Ice Center is excited to welcome back the community at 7:30 – 10 p.m. p.m. on Friday, October 13 for a public skate to celebrate the reopening of the rink. The cost to skate is $12, $7 if skaters provide their own skates. The Ice Center finished installing ice on one rink this week with the use of a temporary chiller while work continues on the installation and rebuild of the rink’s chilling center and replacement of the ammonia chiller barrel. Both rinks are expected to be fully functional in early 2024.
