The University of Nebraska Medical Center’s outdoor ice skating rink will open Friday, Nov. 29 and remain open through Sunday, Feb. 2.
\n 
\nThe outdoor rink, which is open to the public, is located just east of 42nd Street, midway between Emile Street and Dewey Avenue on the north side of the Michael F. Sorrell Center for Health Science Education. Admission is $5, which includes skates (cash or credit card only – no checks or debit cards).
\n 
\nWilliam Lawlor, assistant vice chancellor for business and finance, noted that the public admission rate has been lowered by $2 this year.
\n 
\nOpen skating hours will be:
\nMondays: CLOSED
\nTuesdays – Thursdays:  11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. 
\nFridays & Saturdays: 11:30 a.m. – 10 p.m.
\nSundays: 11:30 a.m. – 8 p.m.
\nNOTE: The rink is closed Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings for UNMC intramural broomball and curling leagues.
\n 
\nOpen skating hours will be extended during the students’ holiday break (Dec. 16 – Jan. 5):
\nSundays-Thursdays: 11:30 a.m.-8 p.m.
\nFridays & Saturdays: 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m.
\nChristmas Eve: open 11:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
\nChristmas Day: CLOSED
\nNew Year’s Eve & New Year’s Day: Open regular hours (11:30 a.m. – 8 p.m.)
\n 
\n“We are really proud of our ice rink,” Lawlor said. “We think it’s the best outdoor skating rink in the city, and we want people to come out and use it. It’s a perfect way for families to go outdoors, get some exercise and enjoy a fun winter activity.
\n 
\n“We will be open for just over nine weeks this year. Our commitment is to keep the rink open as many days as we possibly can. We want people to come out and discover what a hidden gem the UNMC Ice Rink really is.”
\n 
\nLawlor said the ice rink will only close when the air temperature is zero degrees Fahrenheit or below. The rink will remain open if the air temperature is above zero degrees, but the wind chill temperature is below zero.
\n 
\nThe public is asked to first check to see if the rink is open by going to Facebook at https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theiceattheunmc<\/a> or by calling (402) 559-0697.
\n 
\nFree parking is available in Lot 15 (surface lot on 40th Street between Dewey Avenue and Emile Street) located on the north and east sides of the UNMC Center for Healthy Living.
\n 
\nThis year, the 24-hour UNMC Skate-a-thon for Parkinson’s will begin on Friday, Jan. 24 at 2 p.m. and end Saturday, Jan. 25 at 2 p.m. It will mark the 10th consecutive year that UNMC has hosted the 24-hour event that raises money for Parkinson’s research at UNMC and assists families dealing with Parkinson’s.
\n
