We invite you to come join us at Pacific Ice for ice skating, hot chocolate, and a fun family-friendly winter experience.”

It even took home industry recognition as part of the American Association of Port Authorities Lighthouse Awards receiving an Award of Excellence (1st place) in the special events category. The AAPA Lighthouse Awards highlight the best in port programs across the industry.
