ICE at Discovery Green Weather Delays

• Because the ICE is outdoors, in Houston, it can close due to weather. (This usually happens if it gets too hot or if it rains.)
• Call 713.434.RINK (7465) for updates and check www.discoverygreen.com for closures and other delays. Guests holding tickets will be notified via email and their tickets refunded if weather closures are necessary at their reserved times.

Wheelchairs on the ICE

• Non-motorized wheelchairs are allowed on the ICE.
• The wheelchair user must be accompanied by a responsible adult (but only one ticket must be purchased).

Parking

All parking in Downtown Houston is paid parking. That said, metered street parking becomes free after 6:00pm and on Sundays. If you park on the street, be sure to check the signs before leaving your car.

There is also a parking garage under the park. The entrance is by the George R. Brown Convention Center. The rates change some but it can be expensive.

You can also find a lot of paid lots surrounding Discovery Green.
