Before bidding wiedersehen to the most wonderful time of the year, lace up your skates for one last icy hurrah:
• Eisbahn Outdoor Ice Skating Rink in Fredericksburg boasts all-day passes (including rentals) for $15 to benefit the Heritage School – smack dab in the midst of a holiday Marktplatz.
• At Hill Country Galleria, reservations are recommended for a chance to spend 60 minutes skating en plein air. On select “Discounted Tuesdays,” enjoy the chilly fun for $10.
• Downtown, the Ice Rodeo at Four Seasons Hotel Austin is sure to delight folks of all ages with a holiday candy shop and gingerbread village.
