The rooftop terrace at PCM will once again feature a seasonal ice rink, opening on Nov. 29, 2024, and then running 7 days a week.

Igloos on The Roof
Cozy up in a private, festive alongside the ice rink on the rooftop terrace! This is a splurge alert item — tickets are $200 per party, and the igloos accommodate up to 6 people (so, about $33 each, split 6 ways, which is not much more than a skating ticket).
Available Monday through Thursday only, from Dec. 2nd thru Jan 2nd.
Your ticket includes general admission to The Roof, a dedicated server, a basket of snacks and sweets, skate rentals with 50 minutes of skate time, and unlimited games and rides at Skyline Park (weather permitting). Additional beverage options are available for purchase.
