Best time
Visit on weekdays rather than weekends to avoid crowds and have a better skating experience. Multiple reviewers mention the rink gets packed on weekend open skate sessions but is perfect during weekday hours.
Visitor tip
Bring your own skates if possible. Several reviews mention the rental skates are low quality and the ice conditions are subpar, so having better equipment will improve your experience.
Visitor tip
Plan to arrive early or check the schedule before visiting, as the rink sometimes splits the ice in half for birthday parties and group events, reducing available skating space and creating safety concerns during busy times.
