WARSAW — Eastlake Skating Center, 3010 Frontage Road, Warsaw, is giving back to various groups this Christmas season, with free admission at different skating sessions.

All sessions are open to the public, but select groups will receive free admission each day. These groups include all children 10 and under, orthopedic company employees, government employees, educators, public health and safety workers, members of the YMCA and Baker Youth Club, chamber of commerce members and their employees and service organization members. This deal extends to members and their families.

“My wife and I are blessed to live in such a caring and supportive community. Understanding sometimes family activities can become cost inhibitive, we wanted to provide free admission to a large number of people within our great community, so they can experience family fun together, while getting exercise and creating lasting memories,” said owner Trace Hansen.

Skate rental is just $2. Additionally, Santa will be present one last time on Christmas Eve around 1 p.m. If guests just want to come see Santa, there is no charge, otherwise admission to skate on Christmas Eve is just $1.
