Two NHL-sized indoor ice rinks are decorated with holiday banners, twinkling lights, and festive music. Children and parents of all skill levels can glide across the ice, meet Santa Claus on skates for unforgettable photos, and warm up with steaming hot cocoa and warm pretzels at the Igloo cafe. Sturdy skate aids ('seals' and 'walkers') are available to help beginners and toddlers find their balance safely. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Rink facility is fully ADA accessible with ramps and wide rubber-matted walkways; strollers can be parked safely near rink viewing areas. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Heated lobby viewing areas with comfortable seating; clean family restrooms with baby-changing tables located near both rinks. • Age Suitability: All ages welcome; double-bladed beginner skates and balance trainers available for toddlers and first-time skaters. • Sensory Tips: Rink temperature is brisk (around 55°F), so warm layers, gloves, and jackets are advised; festive holiday soundtrack plays at moderate family-friendly volume. ## Similar picks in Jacksonville - [Riverside Arts Market Holiday Markets & Santa Visits](https://grassyknees.com/jacksonville/activities/riverside-arts-market-holiday-markets-and-santa-visits--listing-063bb96425e6bd0223bc8189) — Dec 5 – Dec 19 · 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM · Riverside Arts Market (Under Fuller Warren Bridge) · All ages · Free · checked Nov 5.
