One of the best
things about living in College Station is that while it offers the friendly,
laid back atmosphere of a small town, it’s also a college city with plenty of
activities to enjoy. Throughout the year, there are fun events like live music,
museum exhibits, sports, and shopping excursions. In January, Santa’s
Wonderland and Christmas in the park may be closing, but that doesn’t mean the
winter fun is over. Here are just three of the events and activities you can
try in College Station this winter.
Spirit Ice Arena
Spirit Ice Arena is
open year round, but there’s just something special about going ice skating in
winter. There’s public skating as well as figure skating lessons and
exhibitions and hockey tournaments for the sports lover. They offer an annual
Spirit Sensational Winter Camp where the kids can make friends, do arts and
crafts, and learn how to skate. But if you’re not a kid, don’t worry, there are
classes for you, too. There’s also a date night every Thursday, so you can
enjoy a chilly but romantic evening with your special someone at Spirit Ice
Arena.
Vinclusive
On the weekend of
January 19th and 20th, you can enjoy a luxurious weekend of wine hosted by
College Station’s own winery, Melissa Hof. Vinclusive allows participants to
take part in the pruning and blending process...and to bring home the wine that
they helped to make. They offer a daytime package, which includes both the
pruning and blending workshops and lunch at Vintage House Restaurant, and a
luxurious weekend package, with all the perks of the daytime package plus a 2
night stay at The Villa Bed and Breakfast, gourmet breakfast, and a four course
dinner. If you need a brief winter vacation without leaving home, whether for
you and someone special or just yourself, Vinclusive is a great option to keep
in mind.
TAMU Basketball
Aggieland football
season might end in January, but basketball season is still going strong. From
January through March, come to the Reed Arena to support Texas A&M’s men’s
and women’s basketball teams as they go up against rivals like Ole Miss,
Alabama, and Texas. This year, the men’s basketball team reached the top 10 of Associated Press’s Top 25 poll of college
basketball teams, and they don’t seem to be going anywhere any time
soon. The women’s basketball team is going strong themselves, but there’s still
much more of the season to come. Will Anriel Howard break the Texas A&M
career record of 19 double-doubles (which she’s already tied with Danielle
Grant and Kelsey Bone). Will the men’s team keep their ranking, or even rise
higher before the end of the season? This winter, you can be there to find out.
If you’re moving to
College Station this winter, we’re happy to have you here. These are just a few
of the activities you can enjoy in the winter months here, along with our
