Location
Best time
Visit during off-peak hours (weekday afternoons/evenings) to avoid crowds and get better ice conditions. Zamboni maintenance appears inconsistent, so earlier sessions likely have smoother ice.
Visitor tip
Arrive early in your session window—reviewers noted the zamboni wasn't called out until 30-40 minutes before closing, leaving rough ice conditions. Plan to skate in the first half of operating hours for best ice quality.
Visitor tip
Bring layers and warm accessories beyond just skates. The rink is outdoor at a historic downtown location, so expect variable weather. Multiple reviews mention enjoying hot chocolate on-site, indicating it's a popular cold-weather necessity.
