Winter Activities in Catseye Pest Control Regions

Though pest and rodent activity may slow down a little during the coldest months of the year, the activities you can do don’t slow down at all! Catseye Pest Control’s team loves the regions we reside in because of the great activities to do this winter. Today, we wanted to highlight a few we think you might enjoy doing this weekend, too.

Capital Region, New York

The Empire State Plaza ice skating rink is open every day from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and the skating is free! Rent your adult skates for $4 and your kids for $3 per pair, unless it’s Friday, when it’s free!

If you haven’t checked out the holiday lights in Washington Park, you have until January 4 to visit the 16th Annual Price Chopper Capital Holiday Lights. It opens nightly at 6 p.m. for $15 per car.

If you like science and the outside sky, but it’s too cold out for you to watch the stars, check out miSci’s “‘Tis the Season” Planetarium Show, which features a live presentation of the winter sky. Thursday through Sunday until December 30, the show runs at 12 and 2 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, December 26-28.
