💬 What Visitors Say
- Arrive 30 minutes before your session starts to allow time for admission sales and skate rental, especially during busy periods

- Students, faculty, and seniors get discounted admission ($12 vs $14), and children 5 and under are just $8 with skate rental included—verify your eligibility before paying full price
- When renting skates, choose between Figure Skates (Youth 8-Adult 14) or Hockey Skates (Youth 11-Adult 13) based on your preference, and ensure they fit snug around your foot and ankle with tight lacing from base to hooks
- Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult, and the venue offers Skating Helpers ($6 for one, $10 for two) which can accommodate wheelchair users for added accessibility support
