Visitor tip
Pleasant Arena runs noticeably warm compared to other St Paul rinks, especially during summer months. Dress in lighter layers than you would at other ice rinks and be prepared to remove outer clothing during your session.
Visitor tip
Arrive early if you're visiting during youth hockey time slots, as parking can be challenging. Consider using the back parking area as an alternative if the main lot is full.
Visitor tip
