Beyond open skating, 213 groups of curlers showed off their skills on the ice sheet.
Visitors also enjoyed 8,333 cups of hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was a specific requirement made by Frank Kraai, a late Holland educator who donated $1 million to make the project happen. Kraai died in 2024, but his legacy continues to live on within the park.
