💬 What Visitors Say

💡Bring extra puffy socks to prevent blisters during your session. The venue specifically recommends this, and multiple reviews mention it as essential for comfort.
💡Arrive 15 minutes early for proper skate fitting. The venue does not carry half sizes, so you'll want time to find the right fit before your session starts.
🕐Saturday afternoon sessions (2:30-4:30pm) are family-focused and less crowded, making them ideal for beginners or those wanting a more relaxed experience.
💬Bring spectators for free! Non-skating family members and friends can watch from the benches at no charge, making it budget-friendly for groups with mixed skating abilities.
💬Military personnel receive a $1 discount off admission. Combined with the already affordable $5-7 session fees and $2 skate rentals, this is one of the cheapest ice rink options in the desert area.
