Set beside a glowing 40-foot Christmas tree, the rink provides a festive and affordable family ice-skating tradition with cheerful holiday tunes and nearby artisan food vendors. Skating sessions last 60 minutes and include rental skates with advance online ticket reservation. The City of Mesa offers sensory-friendly skating nights on select Mondays with dimmed lighting and reduced music volume for neurodivergent children. Strollers navigate smoothly around the paved civic plaza, and the Valley Metro Light Rail stops steps away at Center and Main Street. ## Similar picks in Phoenix - [Mesa Merry Main Street & Winter Wonderland Ice Rink](https://grassyknees.com/phoenix/activities/mesa-merry-main-street-and-winter-wonderland-ice-rink--listing-2d3cb7ea91b7faad6fe7048a) — Nov 27 – Jan 9 · 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM · Plaza at Mesa City Center · All ages · From $11 · checked Nov 7.
