Ticket Information

Event Ticket Sales for the general public will start 90 minutes before each show.

Admission prices:

• Adults & Seniors - $8.00 
• Students (Age 5-18) - $5.00
• Tots (Age 0-4) - Free

Your cooperation is needed because the admission money collected provides the primary funding for the Ice Show. With that in mind, everyone, with the exception of skaters registered for the ice show, must purchase a ticket to enter the show. This includes all volunteers and even fathers skating in the father/daughter number.

However, one free ticket will be given to families of participating skaters. The free ticket distribution will only take place from Monday – Thursday, March 19-22.

Additional tickets for the families of skaters will be on sale from March 19–25 at the EPCC front desk.

Blankets will no longer be allowed to be placed in the bleachers prior to the doors opening for each show. The doors will open 90 minutes prior to the start of each show, when the bleacher lights are turned on. This will provide an equal opportunity for families to secure their seats for each show. Blankets that are left overnight or secured prior to the doors opening will be confiscated.

The Little Mermaid is back and this time making a big splash on ice March 25-27 at the Eden Prairie Community Center (EPCC), as southwestern suburban skaters 

from the Eden Prairie Figure Skating Club (EPFSC) transform into the beloved characters from the famous Hans Christian Andersen tale.

Minnetonka High School (MHS) junior Erin Hannan, skates in the title role of Ariel with her fun-loving aquatic pals Flounder and Sebastian played by 2011 Minnesota State Juvenile silver medalist and Chaska Middle School West student Hailey Kauls, and 2011 Minnesota State Intermediate medalist, 2010 Minnesota State Champion and Eden Prairie High School (EPHS) freshman Lauren Muench. Scuttle surfaces from the underwater kingdom, too, played by EPHS junior Allison Steen. As Ariel battles her nemesis, Ursula, played by Benilde-St.Margaret's Senior High School junior Maddy Kennedy and her evil sidekicks, the nefarious eels, she is rescued by her true love, Prince Eric, played by Garrett Kling of Watertown, Minn. who joins the cast as a special guest skater. A three-time Minnesota State Champion and National Championships first alternate, Kling attends Trinity International University, Chicago and coaches at the Twin Rinks Ice Pavilion in Buffalo Grove, Ill.

Over 130 EPFSC members, Junior Club and skate school students, will perform to the award-winning musical, adapted for stage, screen and ice, with entertaining solo and group performances, featuring graduating seniors Gina Schmit and Emily Palmer, MHS, and Megan Murphy and Carly Ness, EPHS. Fathers and daughters will also get in on the act in a special sailor ice dancing sequence.

"The Little Mermaid is the theme of this year's EPFSC's 29th annual ice show, which is a favorite community-wide performance attracting audiences from across the metro area," notes EPFSC Ice Show Director Beth Nilsson.

Performances are Friday, March 25 at 7 pm, Saturday, March 26 at 5 pm and Sunday, March 27 at 2 pm.

Tickets for the ice production are $8 for Adults (18+) and $5 for Youth, and are available at the Eden Prairie Community Center front office, 16700 Valley View Road, beginning March 21st.

The Eden Prairie Figure Skating Club, operating since 1982, is dedicated to advancing the skills of figure skaters in Minnesota. In addition, the EPFSC's Junior Club provides a bridge between learn-to-skate lessons and competitive figure skating at the EPCC. The EPFSC is a sanctioned member of the U.S. Figure Skating Association (USFSA).
