Winterland has returned to Gallagher Way at Wrigley Field. The winter fun, which includes new attractions, expanded into the actual ballpark.

Now located inside the friendly confines, Gallagher Ice Rink is a 12,000-square-foot ice skating rink. Ice bumper cars take over the rink at selected times. I am not very swift on skates, but ice bumper cars open a whole new level of fun. It is surreal gliding around on the same field where baseball legends perform. While access to inside Wrigley Field requires tickets, there are plenty of free activities outside the park.

Authentic, German-style Christkindlmarket Wrigleyville offers food, music, ornaments and more from vendors around the world. Hot spiced wine or hot chocolate keeps visitors warm. Christkindlmarket Wrigleyville is open through Dec. 31.

Debuting six years ago, Winterland at Gallagher Way includes new and returning family-friendly activities and interactive experiences. Special programs and performances mix with the regular daily schedule to combine to help visitors celebrate the holidays in a unique and amazing setting.

Running through Jan. 8, Winterland is a great way to end this year or start next year. To really get in the spirit, I suggest taking the special holiday-themed train or bus.

Apr 18, 2025Wellness Comes Naturally in Greenville, South Carolina
Strolling through downtown Greenville, South Carolina, it’s easy to see why the city ranks high among the best places to live in the United States: Shops, restaurants and coffee bars line the streets; there are also performance venues, hotels and outdoor plazas. But what really sets this upstate city of just more than 78,000 residents apart are the easily accessible parks and walking trails encouraging both residents and visitors to explore the city by foot or cycle (both handcycles and adaptive bikes are available to rent). Even better, as Greenville continues to grow, city planners and major employers work together to expand these opportunities. When Greenville’s Swamp Rabbit Trail, for instance, opened in 2009, the paved, multiuse pathway ran about 9 miles from the heart of Greenville to the town of Traveler’s Rest.

Apr 16, 2025Grand Hotel Des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz Review
Switzerland’s most storied ski town (the one, in fact, credited with pioneering the very concept of Alpine tourism), St. Moritz legendarily attracts the rich, the famous, celebutantes and the wannabes. Yet, there’s something compellingly earthy about the place, a town on a lake rich with natural environs, where winter sports and summer activities draw athletes and mountain lovers aplenty. As at the mountain restaurants (where some arrive by chairlift rather than muscle movement, and all types of diners and imbibers convene), Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz straddles the old and new, the lavish and the understated. The hotel, one of St. Moritz’s oldest, opened as a spa haven in 1864, set atop a healing mineral spring.
