The Rink at RISING

  • Family and kids
  • Nightlife

After reviving Melbourne’s beloved winter tradition last year, RISING creates a new ice-skating experience of celestial proportions. Diverge from St Kilda Road and wander a river path flanked by fairy-lit elms—following the scent of buttery popcorn, hot chocolate and mulled wine—towards the glow of the big top.

Then lace up and glide like a galactic gazelle under a wild tangle of lights flickering within a solar system of glowing spheres.

Entry to the precinct is free and unticketed; see session details for skating tickets.
