Strap on the skates – Southdale Center has a new winter attraction. The Edina mall debuted its first ever Holiday Ice Skating Rink Saturday.

The outdoor rink is chilled, according to Southdale's website. That means skaters can hit the ice even when temperatures are well above freezing, as they were opening day. The Star Tribune says it was the first outdoor rink to open in the Twin Cities metro area.

Visitors can take a cocoa break and warm up in the AMC rotunda. There will even be free food on weekends.

Southdale says the rink is free of charge and will be open November 14 - January 3.

More rinks opening soon

Wells Fargo WinterSkate Rink will open November 21 in St. Paul.

The Depot in downtown Minneapolis will open November 27.

Many city rinks open in December, weather permitting. Check the status of ice rinks on the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation or the City of St. Paul website.

Southdale shoppers will have more than a dozen new options at the Edina shopping mall once the $19 million renovation project is complete this fall. The Edina Patch writes the mall recently announced it will soon be home to Journeys, Wet Seal and Maurices, in addition to several new restaurants.

The Denver-based burger chain will open its ninth Twin Cities location in the mall's newly designed dining pavilion later this year, the Edina Patch reports. The Business Journal notes Smashburger already has locations in Eagan, Eden Prairie, Golden Valley, Plymouth, Roseville, St. Anthony, St. Paul and Woodbury.

Southdale Center in Edina -- the nation's first enclosed shopping mall -- is among the man-made landmarks to be recognized as one of the “10 Buildings That Changed America." The upcoming PBS special, set to air nationally in early 2013, will explore the ten influential American buildings that changed the way we live, work, and play.
