Ice Ice Baby!

Ice Alaska - North Pole Closing Ceremony

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

The North Pole ice park is at the Santaland RV Park right next to the Santa Claus house. Just take the Richardson Hwy towards North Pole and you'll drive right by it, then take the next right off the highway.

6pm is the ceremony - hours for the day are noon - 9pm

The website notes the closing ceremony, but I'm not sure what activities they'll have. It's a "warm" day, and a fun way to get some exercise for the kids. They have a kid park with slides as does the Phillips Field Road park. In fact, if you buy a season pass at North Pole, it's going to be good come Feb 26 on opening of the Fairbanks Ice Alaska! What a deal. Stay warm!

Admission $5
Ages 6-12 $3
5 and under FREE!

Off of Airport Way, turn on Gillam, 1025 14th Avenue

On days like today that aren't too hot, the kids might like to go swimming. Unfortunately, we have no outdoor public pool(think of the mosquitoes...ugg), but we do have a couple of indoor pools.

Today I thought I"d post Mary Siah's information for Open Swims. The kids can swim, and the parent can go soak in the gigantic bubbly hot tub!!

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Open Swim there are two:

4:00pm - 4:45pm

6:30pm - 8:45pm

Thursday there is NO open swim

Saturday 2:15pm - 3:45pm

Sunday - closed
