We checked one place to ice skate with little kids in and around Albuquerque: one indoor rink with public skating. Each card has season dates, prices, skate rental and aids from the rink’s own page. Anything a rink doesn’t post says Not listed, so call ahead before you go.
Holiday season
Seasonal and pop-up rinks, soonest first. Outdoor rinks can close for warm or wet weather, so check the rink’s page the morning you go.
Seasonal rinks usually announce dates in October or November. We check every week and add them once the rink’s own page has the dates.
Any season
Public skate sessions open to families. Session times change week to week, so the card links to the rink’s current schedule.
9530 Tramway Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87122
Year-round public skating; check the schedule on the rink page. Rentals aren’t guaranteed for groups over winter break.
Before you go

Each listing comes from the venue’s or organizer’s own page and links to it. We only list a date, time or price when that page shows it, and anything we can’t confirm stays off. These were last checked Oct 20, 2026, and we recheck them every week from November through February. How we choose and check.
