If you would like to try skating in a place other than a hockey arena, doing laps, the County of Simcoe has officially opened its skate trail for the 2025 season.
The skate trail goes through an area of over one kilometre through the grounds of the Simcoe County Museum and the surrounding forested area.
Skaters can access the skate trail through the group entrance of the museum.
The remainder of the museum is currently closed for renovations and inaccessible to the public.
Tickets will be available at the door and online, for same-day use only.
Online ticket sales will be open by 9 a.m. on weekends and 4 p.m. on weeknights.
The skate trail will be open as weather and trail conditions permit.
The skate trail will be open on the following days, weather permitting.
Tuesdays: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Thursdays: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Fridays: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Saturdays: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 to 4 p.m.
Sundays: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 to 4 p.m.
Tickets may be purchased online at museum.simcoe.ca on the same day as the reservation.

Skaters will be required to follow a one-way direction when on the trail and will have access to indoor warming stations and changing areas.
Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $8 for youth.
