Zollverein ice rink day ticket

Unique winter fun in a spectacular industrial setting

The day ticket includes a one-off visit to the Zollverein ice rink on the day booked during opening hours (excluding the ice disco).

In the event of persistent rain, storms or very warm temperatures, for example, the Zollverein ice rink must remain temporarily closed. In the event of the Zollverein ice rink being closed, tickets remain valid for the 2024/2025 season up to and including 5 January 2025.

 

Ice skates

Skates from size 25 to 50 are available for hire at a cost of €5 per pair (subject to availability, deposit required). You can of course also use your own skates on the ice rink. You can have your skates sharpened at the ice rink for €5 per pair (subject to change). We cannot guarantee that it will always be possible to hire skates in the desired size on site, so we recommend that you bring your own skates.
