Waterproof, the rooftop lounge at the iconic Statler, offers expansive, breathtaking views of downtown Dallas. But when the temperatures drop, you just might be able to see that breath. So instead, the team at the popular outpost decided to create an immersive experience designed to take your breath away. For the fifth year in a row, Waterproof will transition to Winterproof for the cooler season, with outdoor snow globes and heated cabanas available from Wednesday, Nov. 22 through Sunday, Feb. 11.
Guests at Winterproof this year will be immersed in a winter wonderland when they enter Cloud 19: An Escape to Winter Wonderland. The visual spectacle brings bold colors, sparkle and shine to every corner of the 19th-floor pool bar.
Winterproof will also feature a full array of spectacular winter-themed cocktails perfect for every taste.
There are several ways to experience the seasonal magic at Winterproof. First, there are two sizes of private snow globes available. Small globes, which seat up to four people, are available to reserve with two-hour food and beverage minimums starting at $200. Larger globes fit up to six people and start at $300 per two-hour reservation.
The cabanas, which accommodate up to 6-8 people, have been reimaged with themed décor. They can be reserved with prices ranging from $350-550. Guests not seeking a snow globe experience can purchase General Admission, which is free before 3 p.m. weekdays and ranges from $10-15 evenings and weekends.

On weekends from Nov. 25 through Dec. 31, Winterproof will offer a magical winter-themed tea. Sereni-Tea is available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sundays. Tea reservations are $58 for adults and $25 for children 12 and younger. The menu for Sereni-Tea includes:
