🎟️ Longmont’s Holiday Guest Pass Is Back — Your All-Access Winter Break Upgrade
The Holiday Guest Pass is officially on sale, and it’s basically an all-you-can-play buffet of local fun from Dec 19–Jan 5. Ice skating? Yep. Swimming? Yep. Pickleball, basketball, fitness classes, and a climbing wall? All included. Think of it as a cozy-season cheat code.
Here’s the quick rundown:
🎉 Holiday Guest Pass (Dec 19 – Jan 5)
→ Unlimited access to four Longmont rec facilities for 2–8 people
📍 St. Vrain Memorial Building (Roosevelt Park)
📍 Ice Pavilion (Roosevelt Park)
💵 $25–$65 depending on group size
What’s covered?
• Ice skating ⛸️
• Swimming 🏊
• Basketball & pickleball 🏀🥒
• Fitness classes 💪
• Climbing wall & full rec amenities 🧗
How it works:
One person becomes the “main pass holder” — and they can bring 1–7 guests with them for unlimited visits all break long. Yes, unlimited. Yes, even that cousin who claims he “doesn’t really skate but might try.”
Bonus: This whole program is part of Longmont’s Certified Cozy campaign — because nothing says peak coziness like shuffling into the Ice Pavilion with hot cocoa after a few wobbly laps.
Note: The Longmont Museum isn’t included this year (they’re under construction), but they are still hosting events and programs.
