Best time
Visit during evening lap swim times on weekdays to avoid crowds and long lines. Reviews mention this rink is less crowded than other skating options around the city during peak times.
Visitor tip
Bring your own sunscreen as the rink does not stock it. Also bring warm socks and layers, as the outdoor rink can be cold and the staff rigidly enforces safety rules, so dress appropriately.
