Get your skates on - Skating in the Sky is here until April 8th!
Skate at 1,000 feet while overlooking the most amazing winter white views of Chicago and Lake Michigan. If you're with the kids, follow up their first steps on ice or a morning of figure-eights, with hot chocolates all round - our Lavazza Espression Café has the best in town. Or for the adults, the rink is open until 11 pm, so there's always time to stop and enjoy a SKYY® High Cocktail or two!

Skates, rates and dates
So here's the deal. The rink is open for skating every day from January 1 - April 8, 2013 and you can skate any time of the day from 9am-11pm (last session sold at 10pm). Each 25 minute skating session is only $6 on top of JHO admission and if you don't bring skates, we'll rent ours to you on the 94th floor for only a buck.
You won't beat our rink!
The JHO rink is the world's highest synthetic ice skating rink, at more than 1,000 feet above sea level. It's 900 square feet wide, giving you plenty of room for your twirls (or flailing limbs!), and constructed from a state-of-the-art synthetic substance called XTRAICE.
