Ice Skating at Plaza Pilar:

It cost us $74!!! For this combo:

  • 1 hour each of ice skating
  • 2 focas (seals). Those are the kid’s helpers for skating. These were 2 euros per half hour, each. That means we paid 8 euros total for two of them for one hour each.
  • 3 trips in a double tube (two intertubes connected) for two people for the sledding slide. This will cover all four of us in the future.
