Curling

I'm definitely not an expert in curling, but it seems like bowling on ice.  You slide a stone across the ice, trying to reach the goal.  If you're looking to try your hand at winter sports, you can start with curling at Canalside. Anywhere from 4 to 10 people can play per lane at $15 per person.  Get more info here.

Visit Santa

Santa will be at Canalside on November 26 from 5 to 9 pm, and Sunday, December 5, 12, and 19 from 11 am to 1 pm.

Ice Bikes

Ice bikes cost $12 per half hour for a single rider. During the summer there are water bikes and this is pretty similar, it's just on ice.

The Ice at Canalside's exclusive attraction, Ice Bikes of Buffalo™ combines the activity of riding a bike along with the ability to perform this feat while on the surface of the ice. Ice Bikes of Buffalo™ will give you a way to participate on the ice if you are not the best on ice skates.
