We had a great time!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Excellent for families with young children and first-time skaters β€” on-ice staff provide hands-on help and the festive market setting makes the outing feel like an event. Closed most Mondays and Tuesdays for private rentals, so plan weekend or weekday afternoon visits. Best experienced November through December when the Christkindlmarkt is active.

β€œI had an amazing time on The Ice at Carter Green! If you can confidently roller skate πŸ›Ό, ice skating ⛸️ is not too far off. Family friendly and lots of things to do in the area. I look forward to next season! ❀️”

Overview

The Ice at Carter Green runs a full outdoor skating season from late November through early February in the heart of Carmel's Arts & Design District. From late November through December 24, the rink sits inside the Carmel Christkindlmarkt β€” a German Christmas market with food, drinks, gifts, and live performances. On-ice staff actively help first-time skaters, and reviewers single out instructors for patience with beginners. The rink is well-maintained with smooth ice reported consistently.
