Gallagher Way

Don't forget to hit the ice during your next visit to Winterland at Gallagher Way! Until February 15, 2026, visitors can rent ice skates for $16 or bring their own, ride ice bumper cars and more. Check out the Gallagher Way website to stay updated on skate nights, skating lessons and curling matches—all beginning January 2026.

Don't feel like trekking down to the Loop for your glühwein fix? The smaller-scale Wrigleyville outpost of Christkindlmarket returns to Gallagher Way this year with just as much holiday cheer as its downtown counterpart. Plus, Christkindlmarket Wrigleyville remains open through the end of the year, so you can extend the spirit of the season to the week after Christmas. 

The Cubs may be hibernating for the winter, but Gallagher Way provides some excellent reasons to hang out in Wrigleyville during baseball's offseason. The Wrigley Field-adjacent space hosts a variety of seasonal activities, including photos with Santa, a winter market, carnival rides and holiday movie screenings. Opening on November 23, you'll be able to shop for gifts, sip a hot beverage and enjoy delicious treats through December 31. Visit the Winterland website for hours and additional information about programming.

Why watch your favorite holiday movies on your couch when you could see them on a gigantic screen in the shadow of Wrigley Field? As part of Gallagher Way's Winterland celebration, the ballpark-adjacent public square will screen yuletide classics. If it's too cold to watch outdoors, nab a decent view of the screen from nearby restaurants like Big Star or Dutch & Doc's. Take a look at the complete movie lineup below: Dec 4 ElfDec 11 The Polar ExpressDec 18 Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
