There are a number of places to enjoy ice skating in Vancouver, but there is something decidedly magical about the Robson Square Ice Rink.

For one, it is the city's only outdoor ice skating rink, which makes it a unique experience. Further, it is located in the heart of Downtown Vancouver, and looks positively enchanting amidst the soaring buildings and city streets.

The festive oasis is the perfect place to enjoy the holidays with your friends, family and loved ones. What's more, the attraction is completely free if you bring your own skates, and only $5 to rent a pair.

The rink is slated to open on December 1, and it runs until February 28, 2019.
