- Visit on Friday evenings (6:30-8pm) or Sunday afternoons (4-6pm) for public skating sessions during the September-March season. These are the only scheduled open skate times, so plan accordingly.
- Skate rental is affordable at just $4 per pair during open skating and skating school sessions, making it budget-friendly for casual visitors without their own skates.
- The arena has a Learn to Skate program available, so beginners and families with young children should ask about structured lessons rather than jumping into public skate sessions.
- Staff members like Matt Remore are highly praised by visitors, so don't hesitate to ask questions or ask for help—the team is known for being exceptionally friendly and helpful.
- If you visit during the indoor walking track season (September through mid-March, Monday-Friday 8am-1pm, free for adults), remember that everyone must walk in the same direction—it's a counter-clockwise rule to keep things organized.
