San Antonio families now have another option to lace up some skates and go gliding through a winter wonderland. <\/p>\n

SAN ANTONIO \u2014 In addition to its night markets, tree lighting party and other Christmas-season programming, another attraction is coming to the Pearl for the first time this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The popular downtown-area district said in a press release that a “dazzling outdoor ice-skating rink” will debut there the Friday after Thanksgiving, where it will welcome visitors looking to glide on the ice through the start of the new year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The rink will be set up next to Stable Hall, in a Pearl atmosphere adorned by “twinkling lights, holiday music and joyful memories for all ages.” Friday is also when the district will have its own tree lighting celebration<\/a> from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., with the switch set to be flipped on around 5:45 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Families will also have the chance to get a photo with Santa, listen to a story read by Mrs. Claus, enjoy live performers and ballerinas, and jam to a DJ in the evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You’ll need a ticket\u00a0<\/a>to hit the rink, which will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday and from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. during the week. It costs $20, which covers skate rental, and patrons will be able to enjoy the ice for up to an hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Children 12 and under will need to have an adult with them, and those as young as 5 will need an adult skating with them while on the rink. The rink will be open through Jan. 4.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Saturday brings even more holiday fun for San Antonio families at the Pearl with the first Taste of the Pearl Festival<\/a>; the event will bring music, art, shopping and delicious bites.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Antonio families now have another option to lace up some skates and go gliding through a winter…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":407700,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-407699","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-san-antonio","10":"tag-sanantonio","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115620159601840232","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=407699"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407699\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/407700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=407699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=407699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=407699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
