The Rink At Thompson’s Point Opening Day
The Thompson’s Point Rink is BACK, and winter is the new summer here at the Point!
We’re opening for the 2024-25 season on November 29th, and we’ll be cozier and cooler than ever with the grand opening of Basecamp, our rink-side food, beverage, and chillout spot.
Offering only the best local craft beer, a lively signature cocktail selection, and a hearty menu of delicious “grab and stay” bites to enjoy, Basecamp is your local spot for hot food, cold drinks, great games, live music, sports (with sound!), and good company Thursdays thru Sundays.
Not a skater? No problem. Eating, drinking, and relaxing at Basecamp doesn’t require skate admission! Just pop in with your buds, your kids, or both, and hang out!
Whether you’re swinging by the state-of-the-art ice rink for a skate with the family, grabbing your crew for a game night, or washing down a cold beer while watching your favorite team on TV, make the Thompson’s Point Rink and Basecamp your go-to destination for warming up and chilling out.
