Fifty West Brewing Company is once again transforming its burger bar campus into a winter wonderland, complete with ice skating, curling, bonfires and more.

The popular, family-friendly 40’x80’ ice skating rink opens for the season Tuesday, Nov. 21 and features upgraded ice and skates this year. Admission is $10 per person — children under the age of four can skate for free — and admission includes skate rental and an hour of ice time.

The rink will have a timed reservation system that allows up to 70 people to skate at a time. Tickets can be purchased online here or in person.

“We want Fifty West to be a place where families can come together and create cherished moments throughout the holiday season. This rink is an extension of our dedication to providing a fun community hub for all ages,” Bobby Slattery, Fifty West founder, said in a press release.

In addition to skating, the Fifty West winter campus also includes a heated clear span tent; small fire pits, including a large bonfire pit; a festive light and decoration display; hot cocoa and cider (with the option to add in additional adult beverages); and rentable party cabanas with personal fire pits and TVs. For the holiday season, Santa will also be making appearances on select dates from 6-8 p.m.:

Sunday, Dec. 10
Saturday, Dec. 16
Friday, Dec. 22
Saturday, Dec. 23

Tickets to see Santa are $45 and include both a physical and digital keepsake photo and complimentary hot chocolate for the kids. Tickets can be bought here.

And to celebrate the arrival of Fifty West’s winter wonderland, the brewery is hosting a special Friendsgiving Beer Curling night on the ice on Wednesday, Nov. 22 from 7:30-10:30 p.m. Participants can rent a curling lane for $60 an hour here. There will also be $17 beer buckets available.

Columbia Township partnered with Fifty West on its winter campus.

“Our collaboration with Fifty West is a win-win, enhancing our small businesses’ ability to provide valuable, family-friendly programming like this ice rink for the residents of Columbia Township and beyond. We couldn’t be more thrilled!” said Columbia Township trustee and president David Kubicki in the release.
