Tips & Advice
- Arrive early, especially on weekends or during peak hours, to maximize your skating time and enjoy the free Winter Tree Forest and Holiday Market before or after your session.
- Check the event schedule for any private event closures, particularly around the December 13th 'A Night at The Ben' event, to ensure your preferred skating times are available.
- Consider visiting on a weekday evening for a potentially less crowded skating experience and a more relaxed stroll through the illuminated Winter Tree Forest.
- Take advantage of the free entry to the Winter Tree Forest and Holiday Market; it's a great opportunity to enjoy the festive atmosphere even if you're not skating.
- Dress in layers, as South Florida can still be warm, but outdoor ice skating can be chilly. Comfortable clothing suitable for movement is recommended.
