For a few years now, The Roof at Ponce City Market has been inviting guests to “Skate the Sky.” Who knew how popular it would become?

If you’re interested in going to the Ponce City Market skating rink, here’s what you need to now.

1. It’s Open Now Through Mid-February – But Closed on Christmas Day

Skate the Sky kicked off on November 28 and runs seven days a week through February 15, 2026. The rink is closed on December 25, 2025, so plan your visit accordingly. Hours generally align with The Roof’s schedule, opening in the afternoon on weekdays and earlier on weekends – check the official site for exact times, as they can vary.

Now, kids and parents alike clamor to the freight elevator to ascend 10 stories above the building for the Ponce City Market Ice Skating Rink.

Atop the market, the views are truly breathtaking as you can see the whole of Old Fourth Ward as well as the spokes of the Atlanta Beltline.

2. How Big Is The Ice Skating Rink?

The rink spans 3,500-square-feet, where guests can enter either as a walk-in from Skyline Park or from Nine Mile Station nearby.

Parents, guardians and other observers can watch rinkside as little ones circle for 50 minutes per session.

3. How Much Does It Cost To Skate?

Daily admission tickets start at just $7 to access to the rooftop.

4. What’s Up With The Igloos?

The light-trimmed igloos are the highlight of the rooftop for couples and friends. If you’re 21 and over, you can rent the igloos and even choose from a limited menu and order bottle service.

Two of the more popular igloos include:

  • The Next Level Up Igloo (luxury in the sky)
  • The Cuddle Up Igloo (great for couples)
  • Group Chat (for friends and BFFs)
  • Glamping (think camping with glow lights all around)

5. How Much Do The Igloos Cost To Rent?

  • Booked in 2-hour increments.
  • Include entry, Igloo service, and S’mores bar
  • Igloos are not private, share with strangers and make new friends.
  • Food and beverage are available to purchase inside the igloo.
  • We ask all guests who enter are 21 years or older with a valid ID.

Standard tickets are around $30 for adults and $22 for kids 12 and under (prices may vary slightly). This gets you 50 minutes on the ice (including skate rentals), general admission to The Roof, and unlimited access to games and rides at Skyline Park (weather permitting).

Sessions start hourly, so arrive early. Walk-ins are available, but booking ahead via Tock or the Ponce City Roof website is recommended, especially during peak holiday times.
