This holiday season, Portland’s iconic Oregon Museum of Science and Industry brings you OMSI on Ice indoor skating. OMSI On Ice transforms the museum’s auditorium into a dazzling winter wonderland featuring a unique synthetic ice rink, offering all the fun of traditional skating without the chill.

What Is Synthetic Ice?

Don’t let the term “synthetic” fool you—this isn’t just any surface. OMSI’s rink is crafted from a high-density polymer designed to mimic the sliding and gliding experience of natural ice. The result? A seamless skating adventure that’s comfortable and indoors, so weather is never an issue.

Here’s how you can enjoy the new attraction.

OMSI on Ice: Skate Indoors at the Museum

OMSI on Ice invites visitors to skate at the museum from November 22-December 31, 2025. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or a beginner, the controlled indoor setting makes it fun for everyone. 

Admission

Museum admission is not required to access the rink.

Each ticket includes a 30-minute skate session and rental skates. Personal skates are not permitted, so you can leave yours at home and enjoy the high-quality rentals provided. To ensure a smooth experience, arrive 10-15 minutes before your scheduled time slot for skate check-in.

This experience is for ages 5 and up. Also, all children 10 and under must be accompanied by an adult in the rink area.
