The ice rink tucked under Robson Square's glass canopy is what a movie producer would build for the perfect first date if handed an actual budget. The rink is free, skate rentals are five dollars, so the only real barrier is your willingness to wobble beside a stranger. Mutual wobbling is the romantic engine here. When your toes file a complaint, coffee and ramen wait two minutes away.
