It may be June, but some in DFW are already thinking about the winter. That could be because of the heat throughout the metroplex, but it also could be because of the new attraction coming to Fort Worth later this year. The Fort Worth Stockyards recently announced plans to open a new ice skating rink this holiday season.
This November, the Fort Worth Stockyards will introduce the first-ever Stockyards Rodeo Rink, a 4,000-plus-square-foot professional ice skating rink. The rink will be located on the lawn of the Livestock Exchange Building, and will stay open from November 25, 2022 to February 5, 2023. “The winter wonderland will include festive programming such as photos with Cowboy Santa, live music, (hot) Cocoa Corral, a picnic area, firepits, a spectacular holiday lights display, and a 40-foot Christmas tree (to name a few)," said a spokeswoman.
Of course, the Stockyards newest attraction won’t be the only ice skating rink in Fort Worth, as the Panther Island Ice skating rink has become a Fort Worth winter tradition for many, according to Dallas Culture Map. Hopefully the two rinks can coexist and give DFW plenty of wintertime fun.
