One of the highlights of a Southern California Holiday Season are the outdoor Ice Skating Rinks that pop up at local restaurant and dining centers. For the past several years, it was the thing to do in Thousand Oaks at The Lakes and this year, The Collection in Oxnard is launching their outdoor rink as well. Both rinks open up for business this week and Macaroni Kid has all the details.
