About this adventure
Atlantic Station serves as Midtown Atlanta's holiday headquarters with Skate the Station—Metro Atlanta's largest outdoor open-air real ice skating rink. Spanning District Avenue beneath a canopy of thousands of twinkling string lights and surrounded by towering commercial towers, the festive 10,000-square-foot ice rink offers crisp open-air skating, upbeat holiday music playlists, and warming trackside benches where spectators can sip gourmet peppermint hot chocolate from nearby bistros. The winter season officially kicks off on Saturday, November 21 with the Light the Station festival, featuring the lively Santa's Arrival Parade at 6:00 PM and the ceremonial illumination of the spectacular 50-foot Christmas tree on the Atlantic Green at 7:00 PM, followed by evening snowfalls and live performances. Children can also book keepsake photo sessions with Santa at his festive cottage on the green. 75-minute timed skating sessions must be reserved online in advance.
