The Bellevue Downtown Ice Rink is Back

Bellevue, WALocal News

The Bellevue Downtown Ice Rink is returning for its 24th annual season, opening on November 19, 2021, and running through January 9, 2022. As the largest holiday ice skating venue on the Eastside, it offers more than 9,000 square feet of real ice, a spacious viewing area, and convenient on-site concessions. To ensure a safe experience during the ongoing pandemic, the Bellevue Downtown Association has implemented an online ticketing system that allows visitors to reserve their skating time in 30-minute intervals. Face masks will be required for all attendees, while proof of vaccination is not necessary, creating an inclusive environment for the community. Cleaning protocols will be strictly followed, with regular sanitization of rental skates and high-touch surfaces.

The rink is a signature event of Bellevue’s Season of Cheer and is supported by key partners like Symetra, City of Bellevue, and Microsoft. Ticket prices are set at $13 for weekdays and $16 for weekends and holidays, with a Season Pass available for $99.
