💬 What Visitors Say

💡Arrive early and call ahead to confirm the rink is open. Multiple visitors found the rink unexpectedly closed without notice, and hours may be shortened with low skater attendance.
💬Plan to pay admission even if you're only spectating, but know that skate rental is included in the admission price. No season passes are available, so budget for per-visit costs.
💡Arrive early to secure skate-aid rentals ($1 each), as they operate on a first-come, first-serve basis and are essential for young children learning to skate.
💡Bring warm layers and plan for outdoor seating only—there is no indoor seating available. Benches and a fireplace are present but not reliably heated, so dress warmly.
🕐Visit on weekdays or less crowded times to enjoy a smoother ice surface and safer skating experience, as high crowds with rental aids and toddlers can make the ice rough and congested.
