We checked one place to ice skate with little kids in and around Omaha: one holiday or outdoor rink. 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.
Heartland of America Park, The RiverFront · Downtown
With little kids: Every skater needs a waiver. Kids must stay with an adult.
Call 402-599-6564 with questions.
Any season
Public skate sessions open to families. Session times change week to week, so the card links to the rink’s current schedule.
We add indoor rinks once their own page posts public skate times and prices.
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.
