Plan your visit

General admission starts at $24.95 and includes park entrance plus all-day Crystal Ribbon access, but skate rental is separate (price not captured) and socks are required to rent. Hours and the exact closing date were not captured, so check snowcatridge.com before going — the season opens November 14, 2026 and runs into early spring, but don’t plan around a specific closing day until the park posts one.

What makes this rink distinctive

A builder-built ribbon, not a pop-up pad: Rink Systems’ own case page describes the Crystal Ribbon as its custom Glass Rail dasher system, 108 by 176 feet and “fully refrigerated,” adding “Real ice, real snow in Florida.” It’s the skating piece of Florida’s only alpine snow park — real snow tubing, an Arctic Igloo snow dome, and, new for 2026, the Wunder Glow mile of lights.
