About this adventure
Set right in the heart of the world-famous Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District, the Stockyards Rodeo Rink brings authentic Western winter magic to life. Positioned on the lawn fronting historic Cowtown Coliseum and the Livestock Exchange Building, this open-air refrigerated real-ice rink operates rain or shine underneath a protective canopy, treating skaters to panoramic views of brick-paved Exchange Avenue illuminated with cowboy-themed holiday lights and historic stockade fencing. Families can lace up skates for 90-minute timed sessions, glide to holiday tunes and country classics, and warm up by outdoor fire pits with hot cocoa, artisan s'mores kits, and spiced cider. With the retirement of the former seasonal rink at Panther Island, the Stockyards Rodeo Rink is Fort Worth's signature open-air winter ice destination, pairing smoothly with the twice-daily Longhorn cattle drives and weekend rodeo performances.
