💬 What Visitors Say

💬Book online sessions ($17) instead of paying at the door ($20) to save $3 per person, plus you get the option to add arcade access for just $3 more ($20 total) — a good deal if you want activities beyond skating.
💡Plan to arrive early for parking and allow extra exit time during large events; the parking garage can get congested and lacks traffic management during peak times, so consider arriving well in advance of your session.
💡Bring warm socks and layers — the arena maintains excellent temperature control year-round, but your feet will get cold on the ice; rental skates ($5) are available but having your own warm socks makes a big difference in comfort.
💡Friday and Saturday nights (8:30pm-10:30pm) are the public skate times; the venue also offers Learn to Skate programs with professional coaches on staff, making it ideal for families introducing kids to skating with expert instruction available.
💬The arcade and Axe Tricks lounge are great complements to your skating session; grab food/drinks at the café and bar before or after skating to maximize your time at the venue.
