Ice Skating Season Kicks Off in Downtown San Antonio With Rotary Ice Rink Opening!

Ice Skating Returns to Downtown San Antonio!

Hey there, San Antonio! Are you ready to lace up your skates and glide into the holiday spirit? Well, you’re in luck! The beloved Rotary Ice Rink, presented by Valero, is all set to open its doors this Friday, November 15, right in the heart of our charming downtown at Travis Park, located at 301 E. Travis St. Get your cameras ready because this is going to be a festive season like no other!

Get the Party Started!

Kicking things off, a fun-filled grand opening news conference will take place at 9:30 a.m., inviting you to join in on the excitement. There’s going to be free cocoa to warm your spirits, as well as lively entertainment and some surprise “special guests” that you won’t want to miss. So grab your friends and family, and make it a day to remember!

Skate All Season Long

Once the opening festivities wrap up, the ice rink will be open every day through January 5. That gives you plenty of time to perfect your skating moves—or just enjoy hanging out on the ice with your loved ones. Tickets are available online at rotaryicerink.com and are priced at a reasonable $15 for general admission.

But wait, there are even more perks! Active military members and first responders can hit the ice for just $11 on Mondays, while Valero sponsors can skate for only $7 any day of the week. And let’s not forget about discount skate nights on Tuesdays, where admission drops to $11. It’s a skate-tacular deal!

Bright Lights and Holiday Cheer

As if that wasn’t enough, the festive fun continues with the stunning H-E-B Christmas tree making its debut during the holiday skating season. The tree will be adorned with 150,000 enchanting lights that will illuminate the park in a sparkling display, spreading holiday cheer to everyone who passes by. Make sure to catch the official lighting ceremony scheduled for November 29, just after Thanksgiving. The sight of that tree lighting up the park is bound to take your breath away!

So, whether you’re a rookie on the ice or a seasoned skater, the Rotary Ice Rink is the place to be this holiday season. Don’t miss out on the chance to create magical memories in our beautiful downtown.

Gather Your Crew!

Gather your family, call up your friends, and be part of the excitement at Travis Park this Friday. Let’s kick off the season of joy together, skate under twinkling lights, sip on some warm cocoa, and soak in the festive vibe that only San Antonio can deliver!
