What visitors say
It's a small and intimate rink which I enjoyed after experiencing bigger rinks with more crowds. I highly recommend a sunset skate here! There was a bit of construction in the area when I came and it's still breathtaking! It's connected…
Good times were had on this ice rink. Pretty small compared to others but if you catch it at sunset time it’s worth it. There is construction going on as of Dec 2025 between the rink and the water so the view is a bit obstructed
My nieces and I visited, and they had an amazing time. While it may not be as big as some other ice rinks, it is clean, affordable, not overly crowded, and the staff are helpful and attentive.
