What dates is Eisbahn open?
Eisbahn opens each year on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving at 10:00 a.m.! The rink will be open EVERY day (EXCEPT Christmas Day) through the first Sunday in January.
What hours is Eisbahn open?
Every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Every Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Monday - Thursday until school is out 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. After school is out it's 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Fridays 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. until school is out for Christmas. After school is out for Christmas, Fridays will also be 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Why do the hours vary on Fridays?
Until school gets out Fridays are treated as weekdays, so we are open from 4 to 10 p.m. The only exception is the day after Thanksgiving; since it is a holiday and is opening day, we are open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. After school gets out for the Christmas holidays, we're open every day from 10 am to 10 pm, except Sundays which are always 1 pm to 8 pm.
How much does it cost to skate?
The cost for a one-day wristband is $10.00 which includes the cost of renting your skates.
Do you get a discount if you have your own skates?
Sorry, but no.
Do you sell season passes?
No. As this is a charity event, we do not offer season passes, but we do offer 10 passes for $80.00 which saves you $20.00! These can be purchased at the rink.
Is there anything to eat or drink at the rink?
Definitely! Each year we offer a variety of concessions including items such as pizza, candy, sodas, and hot chocolate.
Can we rent Eisbahn for a private party?
Yes, but only outside of normal operating hours. The minimum charge is $250.00 which includes skating for up to 25 people and lasts for 2 hours. (Once the rink opens to the public, you are welcome to continue skating, but the private party will end.) If you bring 10 people for a private party, the fee is $250.00 If you bring 22 people, the charge is $220.00 However, if you go over 25, the fee goes up $10 per person. So for 35 guests at a private party the fee would be $350.00
The only times we are able to schedule private parties are:
School Days 8pm-10pm
Saturdays 8am-10am
Sundays 8pm-10pm
To schedule a party, please contact Heritage School at (830)997-6597, and we will get you any additional information you need.
Can we have a one hour private party and just pay $125?
Unfortunately no. There is a lot of work involved in opening the rink and setting up staff outside of normal hours. While you may choose to skate for only one hour, the minimum fee is still $250.
I would like to give skate passes as gifts or stocking stuffers. Is there anywhere I can buy them?
Sure! You can always buy passes at the rink, and they do make great gifts!
Can we bring our own music to be played while skating?
In order to ensure the wholesome nature of the event, we need to control the music being played. Be assured however that we will be playing upbeat fun music!
