Outdoor ice rinks are few and far between here in Tennessee. It doesn’t get chilly enough down here in the south to freeze our lakes or ponds, or even to ice our rivers. A couple of folks down in Chattanooga got creative and dreamt up Ice on the Landing, a family-friendly and man-made ice rink located in the historic heart of Tennessee’s southern city. If you haven’t been, it’s worth a magical holiday visit. It’s one of the best places to go ice skating in Tennessee.
