Ice Skate Rink in Benton

By Shelby Joiner November 17, 2021

If you are from Little Rock, Arkansas, the ice rink at the River Market Pavilion was a holiday tradition for most families. It attracted hundreds of people each Christmas Season. I think the most fun about that was the fact we do not have a lot of snow or ice in Arkansas- but we had a really fun ice rink- just like the movies. Over the past few years, the rink has not made it appearance at the River Market Pavilion. 


Benton Parks & Recreation has changed that for the 2021 holiday season. They are turning the Benton Farmer's Market into the a Winter Wonderland. This new ice skate rink will be open to the public. They are also booking parties and family events!! The Ice Rink opens on December  and will be open until December 31. General Admission is $3 per person.
