West Palm Beach's Waterfront Ice Rink Returns Sunday as Winter Wonderland Opens at The Ben
Winter Wonderland at The Ben opens Sunday, Nov. 1 and runs through Jan. 3 on the downtown waterfront, with passes at $30 for ages 12 and up and $15 for kids 4 to 11, skate rental included - though daily hours have not been posted yet.
West Palm Beach has an ice rink again this winter. Winter Wonderland at The Ben opens Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026 and runs through Sunday, Jan. 3, 2027, on the hotel's grounds by the Intracoastal Waterway downtown, according to The Ben's ticket page as reported by West Palm Now in a guide read in full by this desk. The Ben is at 251 N. Narcissus Ave., a block from Flagler Drive near the east end of Clematis Street.
Skating passes are $30 plus tax for ages 12 and up and $15 plus tax for ages 4 to 11, and each pass covers one public skate session with skate rental included, the ticket page says. Skating is for children ages 4 and up. The page warns that blackout dates may apply for private events and holidays, and its partner page describes the rink as open daily through the holiday season, with a New Year's Eve skate listed.
One practical gap remains: The Ben has not posted daily hours for the 2026 season yet, according to the guide, which was last checked on Oct. 14. Skaters should check the ticket page before a holiday weekend, and questions go to The Ben at the phone number listed on its rink pages. The rink joins a downtown holiday lineup that includes Sandi, the city's sand Christmas tree at Centennial Square, and Ballet Palm Beach's 'The Nutcracker' at the Kravis Center on Dec. 4-6.
