Ice Rodeo Winter Activities
Gingerbread Display The décor turns delicious as guests head indoors for a peek at the Hotel’s famous annual gingerbread lobby display created by Executive Pastry Chef Amanda Pallagi and team. This year’s display celebrates the Hotel’s 40th Anniversary, with homage to four distinct decades in the city. Those looking to share the love and support cancer research can have their name added to the display with all proceeds benefiting Dell Children’s Foundation.
Holiday Candy Shop | Daily, 4:00 pm – 9:00 pm Satisfy your sweet tooth at our rinkside Candy Shop, filled with handcrafted chocolates, nostalgic confections and house-made treats – perfect for gifting or indulging in between skates.
Festive Dining
The Deck Pop-Up Lounge | Daily, 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm Enjoy a curated menu of specialty cocktails, champagne, caviar and light bites in a winter-chic setting with views of the 30 foot Christmas tree from the Live Oak Deck.
Winter Experiences
Holiday Décor Marvel in the magic as holiday delights are on full display across the entire property. After an arrival beneath a blanket of thousands of twinkling lights and then gallivanting through a 120-foot (37 metre) tunnel of lighted stars, guests can spot elaborate Texas-themed art installations that have been cleverly tucked across property for the perfect photo opportunity. Of course, no visit is complete without a twirl beside the 30-foot (9 metre) Christmas Tree located on the back lawn.
