Ahh, Lubbock. The place that's pretty much famous for having nothing to do. You have Texas Tech, Broadway, a few movie theaters, South Plains Mall (lol), First Friday Art Trail, and, uh, that's about it.

BUT NOW Lubbock has it's very own ice skating rink.

So grab your babe or your best friend and head to The Garden to enjoy everything their seasonal Winter Wonderland has to offer.

For the entire month of December, 7 days a week, you can forget about finals for a few hours and actually enjoy the holiday season. On select days you can take pics with Santa, and on Thursdays they have an "Ice Ice 90's Theme," and who doesn't love a good themed skate date?

But wait, it gets better:

First off, they're serving holiday ~drinks~ so you can get extra jolly for the holidays.

Second, YOU CAN BRING YOUR DOG.

That's right, your furry friend is welcome in the Winter Wonderland (just not on the ice), and they can even take pictures with Santa too.

It doesn't get any merrier than this.
