Guests can skate at the 12,000 square-foot custom-built rink located at the north entrance of the mall by the star sculpture. The rink will be open during mall hours until Jan. 27.

Skate the Star guests are welcome to use their own skates or rent them for $5, with 100 percent of skate rental proceeds going directly to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities.
