The important distinction is between the park and the rink: Discovery Green is free to enter, but this listing advertises skating for a discounted ticket. Free park admission does not include a skate.
Discovery Green lists its outdoor Ice Rink season as Nov. 13, 2026, through Jan. 18, 2027. The Dec. 14 Cheap Skate Nights listing is one date within that season; the season dates alone do not establish other discounted-skating dates.

Discovery Green describes the rink as Houston’s only outdoor skating rink. For this edition, the event listing names discounted skating and no additional activities, performers or sessions. That makes the rink itself the advertised plan, rather than one part of a larger scheduled program.

The event is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 14, 2026, from 5 to 10 p.m. Houston local time.
The listed venue is the Skating Rink at Discovery Green, 1500 McKinney St, Houston, TX 77010.
The event listing advertises discounted skating but does not state the ticket price, how to purchase, or the ticket terms. Discovery Green’s general park admission is free; that does not make skating free.
The listing also does not say whether skate rental is included or specify an age policy, reservation requirement or session rules. Check those details with Discovery Green before making plans.

Discovery Green Parking | Garages, Street Parking & Transit ↗
