Here in the brunt of a cold front in Houston, ice might be something to avoid for many. But as the expression goes, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. For a limited time, Houstonians can take part in Discovery Green’s new Bumper Cars on Ice experience in Downtown, Houston, where patrons can glide, crash, and bump across the only open-air ice rink in central Houston.
This past holiday season, Discovery Green reopened its ever popular Green Mountain Energy Ice rink. Throughout its activation, running until February 2, the ice rinks hosts a variety of themed skate nights for skaters of all ages and skill levels.
This week, the organization has debuted an all-new experience: Bumper Cars on Ice. The limited-time experience runs from January 6 until Sunday, January 19.
Tickets are now on sale for the limited-time experience, priced at $20 per rider. The experience lasts for seven minutes, in which patrons can have free reign to slip, slide, and crash across the Downtown, Houston ice rink. While no license is required to drive, riders must be at least 48″ in height and under 300 lbs in weight.
Discovery Green urges ticket holders to arrive at least 10 minutes prior to their scheduled ice time. Only one person per car is allowed.
Tickets must be purchased online.
Bumper Cars on Ice is available at the Green Mountain Energy Ice rink at Discovery Green from now until January 19. The experience is available from 6 pm to 10 pm Monday through Thursday, from 6 pm to 11 pm on Fridays, and from 6 pm to 8 pm on Sundays.
The ice rink is located at 1500 McKinney St, Houston, TX 77010, and is open until February 2.
