It’s that time of year! The Loading Dock Bar & Grill in Grafton geared up for the Grand Re-Opening of their Ice-Skating Rink on Saturday, Nov. 20.

The rink will be open Friday, Saturday, & Sunday through Feb. 27, 2022 with extended hours during Christmas break. Special events this year include a visit from Santa and a New Year’s Eve party.
The Loading Dock’s outdoor patio will remain open throughout the season to enjoy the breathtaking scenery, outdoor dining, live music, monthly flea markets, overnight accommodations, and seasonal ice skating in scenic Grafton, Illinois.
The Loading Dock is offering party packages that are available and include skating for fifteen guests, pizza, soda, and s’mores in a heated party tent. Private rink rentals are also available during non-business hours. For more information regarding The Loading Dock, please contact Kasey DeMond at 618.556.7951 or loadingdock@gtec.com.
