As one of the largest cities in New York that sits out along the shores of Lake Erie, Buffalonians are all too familiar with things freezing over come the wintertime. Growing up in Buffalo though has given us the power to turn lemons into lemonade, realizing more than most just how magical the winter season can actually be. So, now that things are starting to get chilly here in the Queen City, it’s time to enjoy our massive 33,000-square-foot skating rink that has so much to offer. Take a look!
