Frequently Asked Questions

May I purchase tickets or passes before I arrive at Barton Creek?

We do not allow advance ticket purchases. You may purchase skating session tickets and season passes at the Holiday Shop, located next to the skating rink during select hours. For ticket and pricing information, click here.

Can I make an advance reservation for a skating session?

Skating tickets and passes may be purchased on a first-come, first-served basis. Because of the high demand during the holiday season, we do not allow advanced reservations for skating sessions. To ensure your spot, please arrive early.

Are my ice skates included in the cost of the ticket?

Yes, your skate rental is included in the cost of your ticket.

What is new this year?

This year, the skating rink is located at the tennis courts, just to the right of the main resort building. It is an outdoor venue, so please bring weather-appropriate clothing.

Also, our Holiday Shop is located inside the tennis shop this year, just steps aways from the skating rink.

Where is the best place to park?

Holiday Lights & Ice guests should park at our parking garage, located on your left just as you pass the main resort building on Barton Club Drive. Or, you can valet your car if you choose to do so.

What activities are available for children?

Frosty's Family Fun room will be open December 21 through January 6 from 4 to 9 pm, with special holiday activities planned on the weekends, including cookie decorating, snowflake making and much more. Carnival games will also be available next to the skating rink, for children of all ages. And of course, S'Mores and hot chocolate will be available.

What type of food is available?

As in previous years, we will have S'Mores kits available for purchase, as well as hot chocolate. Please also visit our 8212 Wine Bar & Grill with the kids, and enjoy dishes like our Premium Angus Burger, Queso Fundido and our "Signature" Warm White Chocolate Bread Pudding. You can also place "to go" orders at the rink.

What is your affiliation with Make-a-Wish?

This will be our second year to partner with Make-A-Wish of Central & South Texas to help raise funds to grant special wishes for deserving children with life-threatening medical conditions. One dollar from every skating session ticket sold will be donated to Make-A-Wish of Central & South Texas.
