Bundle up and grab the mittens to experience Skate at the Station in the heart of historic downtown at the Flagstaff Visitor Center. Free for all to enjoy, Skate at the Station opens at noon on Saturday, Dec. 14, at the annual Snowflake Festival with Santa, games and holiday cheer.
Delight in soaking up the holiday spirit as people swirl around a synthetic rink in Arizona’s winter wonderland and create new favorite holiday memories. After skating with your family and friends, warm up with a hot beverage served by one of our local baristas, then complete your holiday shopping and enjoy a night out on the town at one of the many one-of-a-kind Flagstaff restaurants.
