supporting community charities one ride at a time.

WAS THAT A ZAMBONI THAT JUST DROVE BY?

What do you get when you combine one man’s love for Zambonis with a desire to give back to the community he loves? You get the Tampa Bay ICEBOX.

The Tampa Bay ICEBOX is the brainchild of local Tampa businessman Mark Farrell, who combined his love for the Tampa Bay Lightning, Zambonis, and the local Tampa community by building the first and only street-modified Zamboni in the country. The vehicle is the body of a Zamboni ice resurfacer on the chassis of a van to allow greater flexibility in transporting the vehicle.

Mark created this vehicle to not only provide a fun way to travel to and from downtown Tampa events, but to also raise money for local charities. Rides are free, but donations will be accepted. All donations will be given to the following local Tampa Bay charities: On Bikes, Redefining Refuge, and Lighthouse Ministries.

WHERE CAN I GET ON THE TAMPA BAY ICEBOX?

The Tampa Bay ICEBOX will begin running an hour and a half prior to Tampa Bay Lightning home games - 

5:30 PM for 7 PM games; 6 PM for 7:30 PM games; 6:30 PM for 8 PM games. 

First pick-ups of the night will be at Grand Central in Channelside (E. Madison St. next to the Pour House). Subsequent pick-ups will be at parking lots along Cass Street and Morgan Street.

All riders will be dropped off in front of Amalie Arena. 

After the game ends, riders can catch the ICEBOX where they were dropped off in front of Amalie Arena.

ALL RIDES ON THE Tampa Bay ICEBOX ARE FREE!

However, we do accept donations for several local Tampa Bay charities, that you can learn more about here.
