Love At First Skate: Speed Dating on Ice

Love at First Skate: Speed Dating on Ice

In The Wild is taking Speed Dating somewhere you’ve never experienced it before… the ice.

Join 300 singles at Park Tavern’s iconic ice rink for a magical winter night of real-life connection, movement, and chemistry. This is Speed Dating reimagined. Playful, cinematic, and unlike anything you’ve done before.

Here’s how the night will flow:

7:00 PM | Doors Open
Check in, grab your group wristband, and settle in. You’ll receive a wristband marked Group 1, 2, 3, or 4, which tells you which speed dating slot you’re in. Drinks will be flowing, the DJ will be setting the vibe, and a large mixer will be happening rink-side all night.

Speed Dating on Ice | Four Separate Rounds (30 minutes each)
Throughout the night, we’ll run four 30-minute speed dating slots. When it’s your group’s turn, our matchmakers will personally pair you up for a mini speed dating date on the ice.

You and your date will skate together, chat, laugh, and get to know each other while moving around the rink. It’s relaxed, playful, and way more natural than sitting across a table.

When you’re not in your assigned speed dating slot, you’re free to:
• Mix and mingle rink-side
• Grab drinks and dance
• Watch the action on the ice
• Flirt, connect, and party

Skating is not mandatory, but it is highly encouraged. Whether you’re a confident skater or brand new, the ice dates are meant to be fun, lighthearted, and pressure-free. Our matchmakers are there to guide everything.

The Wild Round | Open Skate + Open Mingling
After all four speed dating slots wrap, the rink opens fully to everyone. Music up, rules relaxed. Skate freely, mingle openly, and circle back to the people you want more time with. This is where sparks tend to fly.

Whether you lace up your skates or stay cozy rink-side, this night is about leaning into real-life connection and seeing where the magic takes you.

7:00 PM | Doors Open
Check in, grab a drink, get your wristband (Group 1–4), and start mingling. The rink-side mixer is live all night.

7:30–8:00 PM | Speed Dating Round 1
Group 1 hits the ice for guided mini speed dates with our matchmakers.

8:00–8:30 PM | Speed Dating Round 2
Group 2 takes the ice. Groups not skating continue mixing, mingling, and partying rink-side.

8:30–9:00 PM | Speed Dating Round 3
Group 3 skates and dates while the open mixer continues.

9:00–9:30 PM | Speed Dating Round 4
Group 4 takes the ice for their speed dating round.

9:30–10:30 PM | The Wild Round (Open Skate + Open Mingling)
The rink opens to everyone. Skate freely, mingle openly, dance, flirt, and circle back to anyone you want more time with. This is the unstructured, magic-making part of the night.

Skating is not mandatory but highly encouraged, and there will be a large mixer happening simultaneously for anyone off the ice.
