Visitor tip
Call ahead to confirm public skate times before visiting, as schedules are subject to change. This is especially important for weekday sessions (Mon-Fri 11:30am-2:20pm) which may have frequent modifications.
Best time
Arrive early and be prepared for crowded conditions, particularly during peak times. The facility is described as maze-like with jam-packed hallways, so extra time for navigation and parking is recommended.
Visitor tip
If visiting with young children for the first time, be aware that kids' skate sessions can be chaotic. Consider requesting adequate supervision and skate guard ratios, or opt for private lessons with their well-regarded coaching staff instead.

What visitors say
Parking is a mess and the rinks are a bit like a maze. But the ice is decent, concession is always open, and lots of great memories being made here.
Helpful, knowledgeable, understanding, and nice. But how the coach that was teaching me today, saw, and just seemed to know what I needed to work on in my skating to become better. Thanks so much! Rebecca B.
I took my kid to Alpha for the first time for a kids skate session and it was chaos. They had two minors as skate guards and are not equipped to keep it ran in a safe manner.
