Ice skating at the Skate Ribbon requires an online, timed ticket reservation. Each reservation includes 50 minutes of skating from the time of check-in. You can also reserve skate rentals online or at the Skate Kiosk. To guarantee access to the ice, it is recommended that you check the online reservation system ahead of time.
Once your skate time is reserved, you'll be prompted to provide information for all skaters in your group and sign a waiver online. For beginners, skate helpers are available to assist with balance and comfort on the ice. Reserve ice skating time by visiting TheRiverFrontOmaha.com, or access the reservation system directly HERE.
