Directly overlooking the rink stands the monumental 100-foot Mayor's Christmas Tree, one of the tallest holiday evergreens in the United States, adorned with more than 30,000 white lights and thousands of handcrafted ornaments. Children and parents can glide across the well-groomed ice surface against the backdrop of the vibrant downtown skyline. Novice skaters can rent beginner balance walkers to gain confidence, while parents warm up rinkside near radiant outdoor heaters or grab hot cocoa, spiced cider, and snacks from the terrace concession cabana. Every ticket includes complimentary standard skate rental, making it an accessible and festive family tradition. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Fully accessible paved plaza with ramps leading from Crown Center shops and covered parking garages directly to the rink entrance. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Climate-controlled family lounges with private nursing pods, changing tables, and lounge seating are located inside Crown Center Level 2. • Age Suitability: Skaters of all ages; children under age 4 skate free with a paid adult admission. • Sensory Tips: Upbeat festive pop music plays over outdoor loudspeakers; early weekday morning sessions provide a significantly calmer skate environment. ## Similar picks in Kansas City - [Santa's Gingerbread Station & Photos at Crown Center](https://grassyknees.com/kansas-city/activities/santa-s-gingerbread-station-and-photos-at-crown-center--listing-251e1fed4fb13b10b15d6476) — Nov 27 – Dec 24 · 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM · Crown Center Showplace · All ages · Free · checked Nov 5.
