The Kent Skates ice rink in downtown Kent offers free use of the rink and free skate rental. It's open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m - 11 p.m., through February 26. It's also available for group events.
The location features food and beverages at a snack bar, the Zamboni Café, and visits from food trucks. Plus, the restaurants and shops of downtown Kent are just steps away.
