Opening weekend! Light Up UCF returns for its 10th season

Light up UCF begins its 10th season of “music, lights and ice” starting today and lasting through December 31.

Central Floridians and visitors are invited to come to the CFE Arena on the campus of UCF to enjoy a new light show promising “more lights, more snow and new music.”

Fan favorites are returning including ice skating, the “Arctic Glide” ice slide, the ferris wheel, the Winter Whirl, Light Up Express, carriage rides, photos with Santa in light up lane and free movie nights on Fridays and Saturdays.

Some of the free movies this year include Home Alone, Elf, Polar Express, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Frozen.  CLICK HERE for the full movie schedule.

The first year of Light Up UCF was 2008; since then it has evolved from only a skating rink and a light show into what it is today.

There’s also free gift wrapping from Monday through Thursday throughout December.  The last day is Dec. 21.
