Ice Rink
Visitors skate on an 80 by 120 foot outdoor ice rink protected under the towering arched roof of the William E. Urschel Pavilion. A state-of-the-art sound system plays music while colorfully changing lights illuminate the ice. Guests can warm up inside the adjacent activity center, which offers concessions like hot chocolate and snacks alongside a full glass viewing wall.
