Winter Family Night on Lake Mendota

Bring your family down to Outdoor UW for a fun filled evening of skating (or snowshoeing if lake ice conditions make skating impossible)! This event will be filled with all the laughter, music, and games that your family needs to enjoy the Wisconsin Winter at Memorial Union. Our staff will teach you everything you need to know to get outside this winter. Beginners are welcome! Skate rentals are available at $5 for students per hour and $7 for non students per hour.  Skate rentals are available first to those registered (below) for the event. 15 minutes BEFORE the event begins we will call down the list of those registered to select their skates. Once those who are registered for the event (and present before the event begins) have their skates, rentals will be available to those not registered on a first-come, first-served basis.  Youth under 18 need to be accompanied by a legal guardian at this event.    Register here ! Call Outdoor UW at  608-262-1630 or email outdooruw@union.wisc.edu for any questions. ***PLEASE COME 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE EVENT TO GET FIT FOR SKATES ***All events are weather dependent and will be canceled if the lake temperatures and conditions do not allow for skateable ice. ***Limited sizes of ice skates are available.
