Indoor Ice Skating Rinks Around Chicago
Indoor ice skating is a fun year-round activity in Chicago for families and kids. Our favorite ice rinks are those that offer frequent and accommodating public open skate times, well-reviewed early childhood skate lessons, and exciting youth sports leagues like hockey or figure skating. Drop in, get laced up, and have an ice day!

Rat Hockey is great way to get in shape, work on your game or just enjoy hockey for the 12 and over crowd.

Romeoville, ILInstant Pot Mashed Potatoes
Kelly R. said: We've been making these Instant Pot mashed potatoes for the past few years, and I don't think I'll ever go back to the stovetop way because these are just as good and way less work! The "keep warm" setting also allows you to make them up to 3 hours ahead of time, so they're ready and waiting when the rest of the meal comes together. Not only is this one of our must-have Thanksgiving side dishes, it's also one of our favorite Instant Pot recipes!
