#DISCOVERY GREEN ICE SKATING HOURS MOVIE#
There’s often times people dressed up as Christmas characters skating around, movie nights, and shows put on by professional skaters. Be sure to follow Discovery Green for the latest on their show and event schedule. Discovery Green, the 12-acre park at 1500 McKinney St., announced on Thursday that its onsite ice skating rink, 'The Ice,' will be open from Nov. While I hate getting lapped by a 7-yr (they have lower centers of gravity!!!), I am always impressed with people’s skills. Whether you’re laughing at yourself as you glide (or in my case, stutter around), ice skating is loads of fun for people watching. Ice skating is built in entertainment.And Discovery Green has got it! Whether you’re looking to warm up before or after your skate, you can grab some at the Lake House or one of the vendors that are set up in the park–always a rotating assortment of food trucks and stands. For me, this frothy sugary drink is pretty synonymous with winter. And the ice is cold anyways, so thick socks for the skates, gloves in case you fall, and a scarf for pictures are well merited. And trust me, ice skating outside when it’s 50 is a zilllllliiiioooon times better than risking frost bite and below freezing wind-chill to skate on similar ice rinks in Chicago or New York.
So I joke about bundling up and wearing all your winter clothes (like you have them), but for real, we’re Texans and when the weather drops below 70 we’re freezing. Because that park is a winter wonderland.ĭon’t believe me? Let me tell you 5 fabulous reasons why you should visit the ICE at Discovery Green! Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Discovery Green, but all opinions and attempts at channeling Olympic ice skaters are my own. Then, I DARE you to tell me Houston doesn’t have winter. Dress up in your winter best–I’m talking thick socks, sweaters, hats, and gloves–then head on over to Discovery Green, sip on some hot chocolate, get lost in the boardwalks of Christmas lighted trees, and skate a few laps around the outdoor ICE rink. For all the haters out there that don’t believe Houston has a winter, I have a challenge for you.
