An outdoor ice rink in Longmont's Roosevelt Park, open Nov 20, 2026 to early March, weather permitting. Open skate needs no reservation, and you can skate as long as you like during the session.
Know before you go. The rink doesn't list sensory sessions or a quiet room. Here's what the city does say about open skate, the breaks and the rules.
“Helmets on the ice are optional, but if you would like to wear one, please bring one from home. Bike, Ski, Snowboard, Skateboard helmets all work!”
Our note Because there's no reservation and no time limit, you can arrive, skate for ten minutes and call it a win.
Our note The Holiday Ice Show on Sat Dec 5 at 5 pm is free, with an open skate after; expect it to be busy.

What the city doesn't say
not stated whether music plays during open skate
not stated how often the Zamboni breaks happen
not stated whether there is a heated place to warm up
Check the season guide for open skate hours; they change through the winter. Just show up, pay at the rink and pick up skates. The rink is outside, so dress warm. Now and then the Zamboni resurfaces the ice, and everyone steps off for about 15 minutes. Part of the middle may be coned off for programs. Kids 10 and under need a grown-up 14 or older with them. Change anything.
Common questions
What if my child won't look at the schedule or story?
That is common at first. Leave it where the moment happens, point to one picture at a time, and keep it low-pressure. Many kids warm up to it after a few calm tries, in their own time.
