The Wharf in Orange Beach opens a real ice rink for the holiday season on November 13 and keeps it open through January 18. Skates are provided, beginners are welcome, and a DJ plays Friday and Saturday nights from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. On Tuesdays through December 8 the Wharf donates $5 to Toys for Tots for each skate purchase.

The Wharf's own pages disagree on hours: the news page gives weekdays 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM and weekends 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, while the November calendar shows Sundays 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM and Mondays through Thursdays 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM, with 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM on November 23 to 25.
The news page gives the run as November 13 to January 18 without a year January 2027 is assumed.
December 24 closes early at 2:00 PM, and December 21 to 23 run 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
