The Ice at Carter Green is an outdoor ice rink at the center of the Carmel Christkindlmarkt in Carmel’s City Center. Skate sessions last 90 minutes (Wednesday and Thursday sessions run longer), and skate rental is available. Skaters who bring their own skates still need a session ticket.
The Christkindlmarkt asks skaters to buy tickets online ahead of time, since tickets are not sold on site. Every skater needs a signed waiver, and the rink asks guests to arrive 15 minutes early. Lockers take cash only. Ticket prices for the 2026-27 season have not been posted yet.
The rink is closed most Mondays and Tuesdays for private rentals and on Thanksgiving and Christmas. There are no Wednesday sessions in January.
