November 17, 2012 (Alpine) --Viejas Ice Rink formally opened its fifth season yesterday along with specific extended holiday hours at Viejas Outlet Center.
Now, when shopping, visitors are treated to views of excited skaters making their way around the cool, white ice rink, skating to the sounds of favorite Christmas melodies. Bedecked at one end with the traditional giant, decorated Christmas tree, the ice rink this year also has festive café lights.

Patrons who weren’t planning to skate or forgot their accessories need not worry. There is an outdoor vendor providing all necessities in various colors and styles. Refreshments are available, also.
Prices for a 90 minute session of skating, including skates rental, are only $10 for children (12 and under) and $12 for adults. Viejas Toy Drive is also on now.

Yes, all three!
