A lunch or dinner entree must be purchased to take advantage of the $3 rate.
This is also a good opportunity to savor some of Tucson's best barbeque at the all-new Catalina BBQ Co. & Sports Bar. Opening in January, Catalina BBQ Co. & Sports Bar will feature house-smoked meats and homemade sauces and rubs.
In addition, anyone can simply skate the day or night away surrounded by the beauty of the desert. Enjoy unlimited skating for only $10 per person.
While you're there, hike the nearby Bowen Trail in Tucson Mountain Park or relax on the patio with a refreshing margarita.
Arctic Pass will be open Fridays from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., January 3 through February 14.
