Ice Town

Westfield UTC is a pretty outdoor shopping mall that has everything you’ll need from major department stores to quaint boutiques. But the true excitement for you and your grandchildren will be Ice Town, the fabulous indoor ice rink. It’s a great place to rent some ice skates (figure or hockey style) and cool off on a hot, So Cal day.
