Winter Fun Around Lincoln

Winter break is the perfect time for sledding and skating. Lincoln has a ton of awesome spots where you can play, explore, and have the best break ever!

Best Sledding Hills

Pioneers Park • “Choo-Choo Hill”
3201 S. Coddington Ave.
This hill is fast. Like, train-speed fast. That’s why everyone calls it “Choo-Choo Hill.” If you love thrills, this is the place to fly down the snow.

Arnold Heights Park • “Tanker Hill”
5142 W. Vale St., Lincoln
Tanker Hill is one of the tallest sledding hills in Lincoln. Brave sledders can zoom down it, while beginners can warm up on the smaller slopes nearby.

Holmes Lake Park
70th St. and Normal Blvd., Lincoln, NE
The long hill on the lake’s west side offers plenty of room for sledders on both sides, so large groups can easily find a spot and enjoy the fun they want.

Cool Places to Skate

Railyard Ice Rink
350 Canopy St., Lincoln, NE
There’s something special about skating under twinkly lights in the middle of the Haymarket. The Railyard rink is only open from mid-December to mid-February, so grab your skates (or rent a pair) and get skating when it’s available.

John Breslow Ice Hockey Center
433 V St., Lincoln, NE
Glide, spin, or race your friends at Breslow. You can even take lessons if you’re just starting out—or watch hockey games if you’d rather cheer from the stands.

Eugene T Mahoney State Park
28500 W. Park Hwy., Ashland, NE
Can’t decide between skating indoors or out? At Mahoney State Park, you get the best of both—fresh air and winter fun under a covered outdoor rink, just a 30-minute drive from Lincoln.

Grab your sled or lace up your skates, winter adventures are waiting for you!
