Since the first time the Travis Park Ice Skating Rink opened its doors or floors in 2019, hundreds of people have made the trip downtown, and this year, I was one of them! The Rotary Ice Rink by Valero has been open since November 17 and will be available every day until January 15, 2024. While I made my way to the ice on a Monday night, you can visit the Travis Park Ice Skating rink every day! It was busy when I was skating around so I’d recommend coming here as early as possible.

For holidays, please check out the operating hours here.

Where: 300 E Travis St, San Antonio, TX 78205

Being downtown, you don’t have to worry about food options. I got Voodoo Donuts before getting on the ice and noticed a couple of food trucks that I’ll check out next time! There’s also parking all around the park but keep a lookout for towing areas!

Again, it got busy with the Ice Skating Rink, Christmas Tree, and lights around so bring your friends or family for this budget-friendly holiday activity!
