💬 What Visitors Say

• 🕐Visit during mid-day hours on weekdays to experience significantly fewer crowds, making it easier to enjoy both ice skating and bumper cars with more space and freedom to move around.
• 💬Bundle ice skating and bumper cars together for just $20 total - a great value for combining two different activities in one visit. Remember to book bumper car sessions in advance with a reservation.
• 💡Dress in layers and bring extra sweaters and jackets - the arena gets very cold since it's an ice rink. This is especially important for younger children who may spend extended time there.
• 💡For bumper cars on ice, children as young as 8 can participate, but younger kids may need a parent or older sibling to sit in the car and help with steering. Parents should be aware that the bumper cars can collide hard, so it's not ideal for those sensitive to impact.
• 💡Bumper cars on ice require advance reservations, but regular public skating does not - plan accordingly depending on which activity you want to prioritize during your visit.
