Looking to ice skate this holiday season? Head to West Palm Beach—just over an hour’s drive from Miami—for The Ben Hotel’s Winter Wonderland, returning for a second season starting Saturday, Nov. 1, 2025. Following a successful debut in 2024 that drew more than 30,000 visitors, this year’s edition features an expanded 50-by-66-foot outdoor ice rink, a Holiday Tree Forest, and opening-day curling demonstrations.
The event opens with a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring West Palm Beach Mayor Keith James and live curling exhibitions by athletes from the Loggerhead Curling Club. The Winter Wonderland experience is free to explore, with tickets required only for ice skating. Guests can enjoy holiday-themed photo opportunities, Aspen-inspired chalets, retail pop-ups, seasonal treats, and a full-service holiday bar.
“The event will feature more ice, more community, and more access,” said Bernardo Neto, general manager of The Ben. “Visitors can enjoy skating, shopping, and festive experiences while supporting local nonprofit partners featured in our Holiday Tree Forest.” The trees celebrate organizations including Habitat for Humanity and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County.
Winter Wonderland also offers weekly themed events, including Live Music Saturdays, Santa Claus Sundays, and holiday workshops. The event runs daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. through Jan. 4, 2026. Tickets, VIP packages, and additional information are available at www.thebenevents.com.
“Winter Wonderland has become an anchor for the holiday season in our city,” Mayor James said. “It is welcoming, inclusive, and full of energy, bringing our community together and attracting visitors from around the world.”
