Editor’s Note: Last Call for these Winter Activities
We promise, spring is right around the corner, so you might as well squeeze in a few more cold-weather adventures while you can. The Frog Pond skating season wraps up this weekend, so lace up and get one last spin in. The Frostival Lodge in Copley Square is in its final days too, offering cozy vibes, movie screenings, and crafts. Over on the Greenway, the Ferris Wheel is taking its last spin, and Snowport’s curling lanes are open for a few more days of friendly competition. Basically, it’s last call for winter fun — get out there before we swap parkas for patios.
