Visitor tip
Arrive at the door to purchase tickets for public skating sessions—no advance booking or membership required, making it easy for first-time visitors to drop in on Friday nights (8:30-10:30pm) or Saturday afternoons (12:45-2:15pm).
Best time
Friday night public skate is the most popular and fun session with dimmed lights and upbeat music—perfect for teens and pre-teens looking for a lively atmosphere, though it may be more crowded than Saturday afternoon sessions.
Visitor tip
Dress warmly in layers or bring extra clothing—the rink maintains very cold temperatures for ice quality, though the bleachers near heating vents and lounges offer warmer viewing spots for spectators.
