One of downtown Huntsville’s favorite holiday traditions is back. Skating in the Park, the outdoor rink behind the Huntsville Museum of Art, opens its 15th season Friday, Nov. 20.
The rink in Big Spring Park will stay open through Sunday, Jan. 3, 2027. It will operate seven days a week, including holidays, with hours that vary through the season, according to the museum.
“Skating in the Park has become a signature holiday tradition in Downtown Huntsville, bringing people together and creating lasting memories for families throughout the region,” said Christopher Madkour, executive director of the Huntsville Museum of Art.
Madkour said the museum is proud to continue the tradition with support from the City of Huntsville and community partners, and that the rink encourages residents and visitors to experience everything downtown has to offer.
Admission is $15 for ages 10 and older and $5 for children 9 and younger. Skate rentals and scooter rentals are $5 each. Tickets are sold on-site.
The season will also feature special events, including DJ nights and a New Year’s Eve celebration. Skating in the Park is presented by Redstone Federal Credit Union.
The Huntsville Museum of Art is a nonprofit municipal corporation established by the City of Huntsville and governed by a city-appointed museum board. Along with its galleries, the museum offers art classes for children and adults, as well as lectures and musical programs.
With children’s admission at $5, the rink offers families an affordable holiday outing in the heart of the city, steps from downtown restaurants and Big Spring Park’s lights.
