Bumper Cars On Ice Is Coming To Illinois And It Looks Like Loads Of Fun

If you grew up in Illinois, then there's a decent chance you grew up with ice skates instead of sneakers. If not, getting on the ice can be an imposing experience, full of bumps and bruises. Our suggestion for those looking for an enjoyable introduction to the rink that won't leave you icing your knees? Head to Jack Frost Winter Village in Chicago where bumps are the whole point. At the annual Jack Frost Winter Walk and Tree Farm pop-up in Illinois, you can rent ice bumper cars. These amazing inventions will give you and your friends chilly thrills and require no skating skill!

Jack Frost Winter Walk & Christmas Tree Farm Pop-Up is an annual event that lights up two acres of Chicago's famous Goose Island. Once choked by industrial pollution, Goose Island has been redeveloped and revitalized over the last hundred years.

From the end of November to January, the Jack Frost Pop Up continues this revitalization process, creating an enchanted forest to wander with your family. A real perk of this forest is that any Christmas tree you pine for, you can bring home with you.

While Christmas tree farms are common in Illinois, the Jack Frost Winter Walk has a few special features that should attract visitors for miles around. Not only does this pop-up have boozy drinks and an igloo village to warm your cheeks but they also have bumper cars on ice for when you're ready to hit the rink. We'd recommend doing the bumper cars first, though.

These winter vehicles are joystick-guided joy. You can zip across the ice like a Zamboni, float along like you're tubing a lazy river, or engage your friends in a brutal bumper car battle. This is one party that everyone crashes.

If you're more of a traditionalist, you'd better not pout. There's still plenty of old school ice skating to be had in at Jack Frost's Winter Village. Santa himself will testify to that.

The festivities at Jack Frost keep going late into the evening. That means this is the perfect chance to become the thing that goes bump in the night without scaring anyone off this season.

If you're looking for unique holiday hijinks this year and don't know where to start, consider what a stress-relieving blast it would be to bump your friends and family around with these ice-bumper cars in Chicago. Jack Frost Winter Winter Walk and Pop-up is the perfect place in Illinois for you and the holiday spirit to, quite literally, collide. Merry mayhem is sure to follow. Visit the Jack Frost Winter Pop-Up website for dates and details on this year's ice bumper cars event!
