Visitor tip
Choose between two separate rinks: one dedicated to hockey and one for general skating. Pick the general skating rink if you prefer a more casual atmosphere over competitive play.
Best time
Visit during early morning hours (dawn) to avoid crowds and enjoy the best ice conditions, as the rink operates from dawn until dusk during winter months.
Visitor tip
Dress in warm layers including insulated gloves, warm socks, and a winter coat. Being outdoors on ice for extended periods requires extra cold-weather preparation.
