Ice skating at America First Square

Experience the charm of ice skating beneath dazzling lights at America First Square in Downtown Daybreak. The rink is open seven days a week – bring your own skates or rent a pair on-site.

Tickets are $5 with skates or $3 if you bring your own (Sun-Thurs) and $8 with skates or $6 if you bring your own (Fri-Sat/Holidays). It's recommended you purchase your tickets in advance, as they expect to sell out quickly.

Holiday lights at the Ballpark at America First Square

While you're making your winter plans, be sure to buy your tickets to the holiday lights show at the new ballpark. The walk-through light show will transform The Ballpark into something unrecognizable – in the best way.

Visitors can walk the base paths under millions of twinkling lights, explore tunnels and interactive displays and gaze up at a 60-foot Christmas tree synchronized to festive tunes. Every 20 minutes, the outfield will feature choreographed light shows.

For kids and adults who want to linger in the lights a little longer, a nine-hole mini golf course is available to play through, as well as other seasonal fun.

Getting there

Whether you're driving in or riding TRAX, the Winter Village is easily accessible. Those driving in should park in the Commons lot at the intersection of Split Rock Drive and Grandville Avenue.

The TRAX stop for riders is the South Jordan Downtown Station, which is right next to the parking lot. Downtown Daybreak's address is 11098 S. Grandville Avenue South Jordan, UT 84009.
