There’s something undeniably romantic and iconic about taking a few turns around a frozen pond with someone you love. Lucky for you, the outdoor skating rinks in Downtown Louisville and at the Village at Flatirons Crossing have extended their season through the end of the month.

So strap on a pair of skates and pull on a pair of mittens and get ready for lots of romantic hand-holding, nose nuzzling and laughter — hopefully followed by a warm beverage (and possibly and ice pack of your own).
