In a statement issued Monday, the City of Toronto said Union Station is “once again the ultimate destination for the holidays” with musical performances, holiday shopping, dining options, and free skating.

For those who want to skate with an “incredible view of the CN Tower,” the rink is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday to Wednesday and from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday to Saturday, the City said.

Time slots can be booked in advance online but are not required.
