Break a Sweat
A free outdoor rink under a glass canopy in downtown Vancouver, where five-dollar skate rentals and mutual wobbling are the entire plan.
The ice rink tucked under Robson Square's glass canopy in the heart of downtown is what a movie producer would design if asked for the perfect first-date backdrop and then actually had the budget to build it. The rink itself is free. Skate rentals are five dollars. This means the entire barrier to entry is five dollars and the willingness to wobble in front of another person, which is not a small thing. Neither of you has to be good. Mutual wobbling is, in fact, the romantic engine here: nothing loosens things up like grabbing each other's arm to stay vertical. When your toes eventually file a formal complaint, you are two minutes from coffee, ramen, or a warming cocktail to restore feeling to your feet and discuss what just happened.
