Just because the temperatures are dropping doesn’t mean you have to move the fun indoors.
If you enjoyed The Roof at Ponce City Market during the summer, you'll want to return during the fall and winter for the cold weather activities.

Beginning Nov. 29, the top of the largest brick structure in the Southeast will become a winter playground, complete with a 3,500-square-foot ice skating rink overlooking the Atlanta Beltline and Old 4th Ward.
Also returning are the popular “igloos,” which can be reserved for up to six people. These private seating areas include food and drink options.
But that’s not all. In addition to Skate the Sky, The Roof is featuring the following as part of its holiday activities:
- Nine Mile Station is transforming into a woodland forest with cozy outdoor seating areas and warm fire pits.
- Faux fur coat mini golf at Skyline Park, The Roof's amusement and entertainment space
- On Nov. 30, bring a new, unwrapped toy and receive complimentary admission after 6 p.m., including photo ops with the Grinch from 7 to 9 p.m.
- On Dec. 31, The Roof will hold its third annual Noon Year's Eve event, including family friendly fun for parents and children, to ring in the New Year as guests countdown to noon.
Reservations can be made now for skating and igloos.
