❄️ Holiday Magic Awaits at Ice at the Galleria! ❄️

Step into a winter wonderland at Ice at the Galleria, Houston’s stunning year-round indoor ice rink — beautifully located in the Center Food Court of the iconic Galleria Mall. Glide across the ice beneath sparkling lights and enjoy the magical views of the Galleria’s glittering multi-levels above.

This holiday season, we’re spreading cheer with Public Ice Skating, Learn to Skate Classes, Broomball, Group Events, Birthday Parties, Camps, and so much more! Looking for a joyful holiday outing? Gather your friends and family, lace up your skates, and make unforgettable memories on the ice.

Once you’ve purchased your all-inclusive admission with skate rental tickets, you’re welcome to skate the day away during our public sessions! Please note, we do have a no in-and-out policy.  So plan to stay, play, skate, and soak up every moment of holiday fun right here on the ice.


Ice at the Galleria is a stunning year round indoor ice rink located at the Houston Galleria in the Center Food Court. While skating if you look up you can see the fabulous views of the Galleria’s multi-levels above and the beautiful outside as you skate underneath the glass dome.

Ice at the Galleria's opened in 1972! This Houston iconic landmark is a rich part of the Houstonian community. We have 95 plus Learn to Skate classes per week, Ballet and Off Ice Training.  We teach skaters from the age of 3 and above, from their first steps on the ice to the highest level of competition.  We are the home of Olympic champion, Tara Lipinski as well as many other international competitors. 

We offer Public Ice Skating, Learn to Skate Classes, Broomball, Group Events, Birthday Parties, Camps and More! Looking for a fun activity?

Grab your friends and family and hit the ice skating!

Once skaters have purchased the admission and skate rental tickets, you're welcome to skate as long as you like during the public session. However, we do have a 'no in and out policy'. We do not allow skaters to come in and skate for a while, leave the rink, and then come back later and skate on the same ticket.
