Reserve Your Ice Skating Tickets Today

The quantity of ice skating tickets is minimal, and reserving your tickets in advance is highly recommended.

Exchanges: If you need to adjust your purchase, you can change your ticket for another date/time of equal value via the self-service ticket exchange option on your Showclix account. Again, tickets can be exchanged, but they must initially be the exact value and quantity of the purchased tickets.
Exclusive Discount: All Independence Blue Cross (IBX) cardholders and employees can receive up to four (4) skating admission tickets with proof of card (skate rental not included and can be purchased separately at the box office). To redeem, the cardholder must present an IBX membership card on-site. Photo ID must be presented upon request to match the name on the IBX membership card. The facility reserves the right to deny skating entrance if the above conditions are not satisfied for IBX skating admission tickets.
