Plan your visit

No 2026–27 rink dates or prices were posted on jaxonice.com at listing time, so check there before going — and do not mistake the Riverside Arts Market’s late-November-through-late-December dates for rink dates; those are the market’s, and the listing says so. Tickets are 75 minutes from check-in, online in advance or on-site, and reschedulable if the weather closes the rink.

What makes this rink distinctive

Jacksonville’s first real outdoor rink since 1988, and the evidence is unusually concrete: the venue manager described the chiller and glycol tanks to News4JAX (“We laid glycol lines all the way underneath this”), and the contractor’s January 2026 piece documents an 800A panel and a new 750kVA transformer installed to support “the 200-ton temporary chiller that keeps the ice rink frozen.” The city’s permanent power infrastructure is why a return is credible even before rink dates post.

Season status: returning for 2026–27 per the Riverside Arts Market announcement (Holiday Market held in coordination with the City’s Artist Walk Ice Rink); the market runs late November through late December 2026 — those are MARKET dates, not rink dates, and the rink’s dates and prices were not posted at listing time and are not stated. Real ice (separate sources): News4JAX, quoting Ice Rink Events venue manager Jocelyn Jones on the chiller and glycol lines; Miller Electric (January 5, 2026) on the 200-ton chiller and new 750kVA transformer; Florida Times-Union — “Jacksonville is gliding into the holiday season with its first real outdoor ice rink since 1988.” If a dated rink-operator announcement is required, treat this listing as window tier pending that announcement.
