Location
Best time
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.
Visitor tip
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.
Visitor tip
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.
