Denison on Ice opens Nov. 21: skating hours, prices and holiday closures

Denison’s downtown ice rink returns Nov. 21, giving families a place to skate through Jan. 3, 2027. Before choosing a day, check the calendar: weekday hours change during the holiday season, and the rink closes for three holidays.

The city’s 11th Denison on Ice season will take place at 111 Main Street, across from the Police Station and Katy Depot. Admission is $12, including rental skates, for an approximately hourlong session. A $100 pass covers 12 one-hour sessions. Spectators can watch without paying, although everyone entering the facility must complete a waiver.

Here is the city’s published skating schedule, with all times Central:

• Nov. 21–28: 1–9 p.m., except Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26.

• Nov. 29–Dec. 19: 5–9 p.m. on weekdays and 1–9 p.m. on weekends.

• Dec. 20–Jan. 3: 1–9 p.m., except Dec. 24 and Dec. 25.

The city also lists adaptive skating on Saturdays. Check the current calendar before making that trip rather than assuming it follows regular public hours.

A cover allows skating in rainy weather, but lightning within 10 miles can close the rink. For schedule or weather updates, consult the city’s Denison on Ice page or call Parks and Recreation at 903-465-2720.
