The Woodlands Ice Rink is set to open for the season on Nov. 20, running daily through Jan. 18, 2027, at its longtime spot beside The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. The Woodlands Township announced the return this week, with its mascots Crash and Dash fronting the pitch to local skaters.
Crash and Dash are excited for the Ice Rink to open, and so is the Township, which encouraged residents to reserve a spot for the season, according to a post from The Woodlands Township
on X. The rink sits at 2005 Lake Robbins Drive, adjacent to The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion near the intersection of Lake Robbins Drive and Six Pines Drive, according to
The Ice Rink at The Woodlands Town Center
. The venue describes itself as a 21,000-square-foot facility, per the same source.
Built for First-Timers and Toddlers
For skaters who are just starting out, the rink offers a smaller rink available for beginners, along with special skates for toddlers and rental walkers, the venue's website notes. Those features sit alongside standard admission for ice skating, plus special events and programs, lessons, birthday parties, and private events, all part of the rink's typical offerings.
The rink also runs sensory-friendly sessions in which lighting, music and other effects are reduced or minimized to create a calmer environment, the site states. Organizers describe the broader public skating sessions as offering a fun and festive experience for skaters of all ages and skill levels.
Daily Sessions, Lessons, and Friday Night Themes
Beyond open skate, the rink offers daily skate sessions, birthday parties and rink rentals, plus ice skating lessons, according to woodlandsonline.com, which lists the rink as open daily from Nov. 20, 2026 through Jan. 18, 2027. The rink also leans into themed programming each week — each Friday evening, the rink turns up the energy with music, colorful lighting and a new themed skate, according to the rink's admission page.
Advance reservations are encouraged to secure a preferred session time, though walk-up admission is available based on capacity, per the rink's ice-skating information. The Woodlands Township, which serves as the local government for The Woodlands, Texas, pointed residents to a reservation link in its announcement, though the post itself did not detail pricing, hours on specific dates, or what booking options the link offers.
