💬 What Visitors Say

• 💡Bring multiple pairs of extra socks and consider bringing your own skates or purchasing new ones from the pro shop next door. Multiple reviewers reported rental skates being uncomfortably tight or poorly fitting, which significantly impacted their skating experience.
• 🕐Arrive early for skate rentals, especially during peak times like the week before/after Christmas. Families report long waits and limited availability of properly-fitting rental skates during busy holiday periods.
• 🕐Plan visits on weekday afternoons or evenings rather than weekends or holidays when the rink is extremely crowded. Sunday late evening hockey games attract a 'locals-only' feel with minimal crowds, though expect a strong sweat smell from the games.
• 💬Be prepared for subpar locker room and restroom conditions. Multiple reviewers noted these facilities are in poor condition with non-draining sinks. Plan accordingly and consider changing at home if possible.
• 💡Take advantage of the pro shop next door and Play it Again Sports in the same plaza for skate sharpening, new skates, or equipment upgrades. Note the pro shop has limited weekday hours (3-8 PM), so plan ahead for sharpening services.
