Visitor tip
Bring your own skates to skip rental lines during busy periods. Reviews note that rental queues can get congested during events, but skate-owners get instant access to the ice.
Best time
Visit on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday afternoons (Noon-5pm) for the least crowded sessions. These off-peak weekday times offer a more relaxed experience compared to weekend crowds.
Visitor tip
Take advantage of the heated pavilion to warm up between sessions and the nearby Canal District shops and restaurants for food/drinks without leaving the area. This makes for a full afternoon or evening outing.

What visitors say
It is reasonably priced with polite staff members. The ice gets cleaned regularly with proper machinery. There is ample space for people to sit and change their boots. Overall, a very nice experience.
Unique outdoor skate spot! Storage lockers on site, validated parking near by!
There was a performance when we went so a huge crowd and getting in for rentals was difficult but since my children had their own skates they got to go in instantly. The location itself is great because there's plenty of places to eat…
