Wrigleyville's Winterland Expands with Indoor Ice Rink Inside Wrigley Field for 2025 Season
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Wrigleyville ·
Wrigleyville residents and visitors have an exciting winter development to look forward to as Winterland at Gallagher Way returns with significant expansions for the 2025 holiday season. Opening November 23, this year's celebration features the Gallagher Ice Rink relocated inside the iconic Wrigley Field ballpark itself, offering skaters a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to glide where Cubs players typically roam.
Get ready for Winterland at Gallagher Way! This year's expanded programming will offer guests more family-friendly activities and new interactive experiences, along with returning favorites, including Christkindlmarket Wrigleyville and the Gallagher Ice Rink, with the rink now located inside the iconic ballpark. Rides include a wintertube, Infield Express, Hot Cocoa Cups, and Winter Whirl. The expanded attractions complement the returning Christkindlmarket Wrigleyville, which runs through December 31 at Gallagher Way after skipping last year to accommodate the NHL Winter Classic.
Community members are encouraged to experience this enhanced winter playground, which creates a perfect family-friendly destination during daylight hours before transforming into an evening hotspot. Wrigleyville has become the city's most spirited holiday hub thanks to its concentration of Christmas pop-up bars and Winterland at Gallagher Way. Just outside the Chicago Cubs' stadium, visitors can enjoy ice skating, outdoor holiday movies and the Christkindlmarket outpost. With the holiday season officially kicking off next weekend, now is the perfect time to plan your visit to this expanded winter wonderland.
