Wrigleyville's Winterland Expands with Indoor Ice Rink Inside Wrigley Field for 2025 Season
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Wrigleyville ·
Wrigleyville is transforming into a winter wonderland as Winterland at Gallagher Way returns with an exciting new feature for the 2025 holiday season. Opening November 23, this year's celebration brings the Gallagher Ice Rink inside the iconic Wrigley Field ballpark itself, offering visitors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to skate where Cubs players typically roam.
The expanded attractions will include ice bumper cars, a holiday train that rides through the Wrigley Field concourse, and the popular Wintertube slide. Admission to Gallagher Way remains free, while access to the Wrigley Field portion requires tickets for the various activities. The winter festivities complement the returning Christkindlmarket Wrigleyville, which runs through December 31 at Gallagher Way after skipping last year to accommodate the NHL Winter Classic.
Wrigleyville residents and visitors can experience this enhanced winter playground daily, with extended hours on weekends and during the winter school break. The area has become Chicago's most spirited holiday hub thanks to its concentration of festive attractions both inside and outside the historic ballpark. With programming running through the end of December, now is the perfect time to plan your visit to one of the city's most magical winter destinations.
