Behind snowshoeing, ice skating is the primary mode of transportation for Nordic travelers and polar bears who have misplaced their penguin-drawn sleds. Get around gracefully with today's Groupon: for $9, you get two ice-skating admissions including skate rental at Triangle SportsPlex in Hillsborough (up to an $18 total value). The Groupon is good for both kids and adults. Triangle SportsPlex's gargantuan facility hosts an array of recreational activities under a single roof. Shuffle, glide, and spin in rented skates out on the center's large frozen floor, showcasing your best triple sal chow or quadruple dizzy face to a significant other, supportive mom, or fun-loving stranger with a special sparkle in his mustache. Public skate times range from early afternoon to mid-evening and are as abundant as the sequined leotards encasing most childhood figure-skating dreams.
