Wow, what a great idea and it’s finally coming. A skating rink called Rink at the Brink.

This skating rink is the latest attraction to Niagara Falls and it will operate during the Festival of Lights which opens November 27th, 2009. The skating rink is 18×36 metres (or about 60×120 feet), a good size for fun skating.

The rink will be in operation until the end of February 2010. It will have a steel and glass roof and have clear span windows so you can enjoy the view of Niagara Falls and will be open from 10AM to 10PM every day. I like the price too. Only $8 for adults and $5.75 for kids. You can even rent skates.

So get your blades out and sharpened, this promises to be a great attraction.
