Best time
Visit on weekday afternoons (Wed-Thu 4-9pm) for shorter wait times and faster check-in. Reviewers specifically noted that choosing early tickets on a weekday was a smart decision to avoid crowds.
Visitor tip
Bring extra thick socks and waterproof footwear or shoe covers. The outdoor rink's ground gets wet from snow/moisture, and the venue has experienced shortages of plastic foot covers. Pack accordingly to keep your socks dry during the shoe exchange process.
Visitor tip
If your child needs a skate trainer or support device, call ahead at 1-317-402-1309 to confirm availability and get special permission, as access to trainers is restricted. This isn't standard policy and may require advance arrangement.

I had an amazing time on The Ice at Carter Green! If you can confidently roller skate 🛼, ice skating ⛸️ is not too far off. Family friendly and lots of things to do in the area. I look forward to next season! ❤️
I had so much fun with my daughters and grandchildren! We chose early tickets on a weekday and that was a good idea. Staff was friendly and check-in fast.
