About this adventure
Fairmont Scottsdale Princess's Desert Ice Rink is an iconic 6,000-square-foot real-ice outdoor arena constructed right in the Sonoran Desert. Framed by palm trees decked in millions of twinkling LED lights, skaters can glide across frozen ice while luxury fire tables and trackside igloos serve up hot s'mores kits, gourmet cocoa, and warm apple cider. The rink is part of the sprawling Christmas at the Princess festival, which includes the Princess Express train ride through light displays, Santa's Secret Workshop, and holiday character meet-and-greets. Flat, paved resort pathways accommodate strollers effortlessly throughout the village grounds. Advance ticket purchase for festival admission and separate ice passes is mandatory.
