Visitor tip
Verify hours before visiting by calling directly rather than relying on Google Maps or Yelp, as posted online hours have been inaccurate. Check the rink's official calendar to confirm session times.
Visitor tip
For kids learning to skate, bring a bike or ski helmet (required for Learn to Skate program) along with gloves and long pants. The rink provides skate rentals, so you don't need to bring your own.
Visitor tip
The facility is older but well-maintained with clean locker rooms. It's best suited for committed skaters (league players, renters, program participants) rather than casual drop-in visitors.

What visitors say
I really don't like writing bad, critical reviews but I did want to talk about my experience to help this business do better. (Hopefully.) Wildly inaccurate hours on Google Maps AND Yelp, and staff was beyond condescending and rude…
Been renting ice here every week for the past 5+ years. Very responsive team to work with and they keep the locker rooms very clean. Happy with my experience at Big Bear.
Wonderful place to learn skating at milehighskating by Coach Sergei & team. They are very passionate and fun in helping a newbie like me(never skated before). After the 4 week session, able to skate all basic moves without falling once😁
