The Fonyód Ice Rink stands on Vigadó tér, next to the ferry port and a few minutes' walk from the railway. In winter this is the town's living room: schoolchildren in the afternoon, families and friends at weekends circling the ice, lights coming on around the square in the evening, and you skate right beside Lake Balaton. The rink calls itself the south shore's favourite ice rink, and nearly six thousand people follow its Facebook page.
The 2026/27 season
This season opens on Saturday 28 November 2026 at 4 pm . At the opening the festive lights come on, and next to the rink the renewed Fonyód Winter Wonderland reopens, with nearly 20 attractions according to the organisers. The operator organises events on the square all winter; we collect them on our Fonyód Ice Rink page in one place.
There will be a Fonyód Winter mug again this year, the third in the series. This one features the well-known Couple statue at the harbour, István Kiss's work that has stood there since 1960 and that many simply call the naked couple of Fonyód.
What is worth knowing about the rink?
Last season there was a larger skating rink, a winding ice trail and a fenced learning area for the little ones. Skates can be rented on site; last year sizes 27 to 45 were available. The rink is outdoors, so on mild, rainy days the ice conditions can vary. It is worth checking the rink's Facebook page before you set off.

Who do we recommend it to?
For families who want to get out with the kids on a winter weekend, and for anyone who would like a bit of buzz in quiet winter Fonyód. After skating there is mulled wine and hot food around the square, and the places nearby that stay open in winter are collected in our Fonyód in winter guide.
