About

The Rink season will end early this year to support recovery efforts at the Raleigh Convention Center. Our last day of skating will be Dec. 28. All ticket holders for Dec. 29-Jan. 4 have been refunded. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see you on the ice before the season wraps!

The fifth annual edition of The Rink brings back all the holiday fun Raleigh residents have come to know and love, plus some new ways to enjoy the experience. 

This year, The Rink is introducing Glide and Gather, the all-new reserved group event experience. Glide and Gather includes private event space at The Rink for up to 16 people. Guests also receive the option for a vanilla or chocolate cake package for birthdays or other celebrations. Also, the event’s signature igloos return, allowing guests a private seating and snacking experience during their skate time. Guests enjoy gourmet hot chocolate and treats in a comfortable reserved space for up to eight people. In addition to ice skating fun, individual guests can enjoy holiday refreshments from the snack bar, games, holiday photo ops, and more.
