Whole Foods Market is known for their organic, local, and healthy grocery selection, their wide array of vitamins and supplements, and their delicious to-go hot bar options, but at this time of year, Whole Foods Market Lamar (Downtown) has another great draw-in: Ice Skating on the Plaza! This event is a winter tradition for many Austin locals. It’s even become it’s own trend on social media, with visitors and locals alike posting photos with the hashtag #skateatthemarket.
Details on Ice Skating on the Plaza
Open until January 7th, 2017, this is a great way to celebrate the winter season. Ice Skating on the Plaza is available to the public seven days a week from 10 AM to 9 PM. You can bring the family or head out with friends for a chilly night of twirls and maybe a few hilarious falls. And of course, you can warm up inside the store with a hot drink or two from their coffee bar. Check out their hot apple cider for a more festive beverage. Even more, there’s often live music on the weekends!
Holiday parties are abounding, and if you’re seeking a way to spice up your own soiree, you might consider renting out the rink. Whole Foods has made this option available for Mondays through Thursdays. Whether it’s a winter birthday party, a Christmas get-together, or a decadent private date, ice skating is a great way to lift the spirits. This does mean that hours may be a bit limited on those days for those coming without a reservation, so be sure to check ahead of time!
