Winter in Philly is unpredictable, but at Please Touch Museum’s signature event Museum Nights: Snowed In, ice skating wasn’t left up to the whims of Mother Nature. Instead, we brought the chill—minus the frostbite—with our Synthetic Ice Skating Rink, creating a seamless blend of nostalgia and novelty for this 21+ night at the museum.
Ice, Ice, Maybe? Think Again.
Unlike traditional ice, our synthetic rink doesn’t melt, doesn’t require freezing temps, and delivers all the glide without the cold toes. That means attendees could sip their welcome drinks, twirl to the beats of DJ Mr. Geek’d, and relive their childhood skating memories—all within the warmth of the museum. Whether seasoned skaters or first-time gliders, guests took to the rink with the same enthusiasm they once had for snow days and hot cocoa-fueled adventures.
The Centerpiece of the Chill
While the event featured trivia, winter crafts, and unlimited carousel rides (because, why not?), the ice rink stole the show. It became the ultimate social hub—some skaters gracefully glided across, others wobbled their way through (grace is subjective), and everyone got their fair share of Instagram-worthy moments. The rink didn’t just provide an activity; it set the scene for an evening of winter wonder, minus the weather-related chaos.
The Future of Indoor Frost-Free Fun
The Please Touch Museum created a night to remember, and our Synthetic Ice Skating Rink made sure winter magic wasn’t lost indoors. As events continue to reimagine classic experiences, synthetic ice proves that you don’t need a frozen pond or puffy layers to bring skating dreams to life.
So next time you hear “indoor ice rink,” don’t be skeptical. Just lace up, step on, and let the nostalgia do the rest.
