We know that visitors have been counting down the days till the return of LICM’s popular seasonal exhibit, Snowflake Sock Skating. This innovative temporary exhibit space features a high-tech synthetic polymer surface, allowing kids to enjoy the thrill of skating without runny noses or cold hands.

There's a nip in the air and the hint of frost on the windows. Get ready to enjoy all the thrills of the snowy season while staying warm and cozy as LICM's popular winter season exhibit returns.

Slip on "sock skates" and take a spin on our indoor rink. Enjoy all the fun of this winter sport without the runny noses or cold hands. Our indoor rink is made from a high-tech synthetic polymer surface that lets kids slide around without blades.

This exhibit offers plenty of opportunities for active play as kids stretch, twirl and glide at LICM. As visitors step off the “ice” they can jump into winter dramatic play in our Snowflake Village. Become a baker in our holiday sweet shop, step inside a giant snowman and serve up some hot cocoa, take a turn in our rink “ticket booth” and “warm up” around our rink side “fire” pit as the whole family enjoys cozy winter fun.
