Florida hotel opens outdoor ice skating rink that will 'stay frozen'

The Sunshine State may be lacking in snow, but that does not mean it is lacking in the magic of the holiday season.

Floridians and travelers have the chance to participate in holiday festivities, including ice skating outdoors.

Ice skates are available for rent, and the rink, open to all ages, accommodates up to 70 skaters per 90-minute session. 

Lisa Enochs, executive director of event production and training at Ice America, told Fox News Digital the ice floor technology was developed in the Netherlands.

"The highly engineered system utilizes a combination of aluminum piping, foldable hose sections, high flow and low pressure to achieve substantially improved chilling capacity, enabling us to freeze water in high heat load locations where previously available systems could not," said Enochs.

The Winter Wonderland offers a snack chalet, a Top Shelf Elf bar with drinks and festive cocktails, a stand with hot cocoa and apple cider and more.

Last year, the hottest winter day in Florida reached 83°F with an average high temperature of 71°F, according to the Florida Climate Center. 

On the West Coast, outdoor ice skating during the winter months can be found in the Golden State too.

In Arizona, CitySkate Holiday Ice Rink opens in Phoenix Nov. 23, and Desert Ice Skating Rink opens its ice rink in Scottsdale Nov. 19.

The Ben Hotel's Winter Wonderland exhibition will run until March 1, 2025.
