💬 What Visitors Say
- Visit on weekday evenings or Sunday nights to avoid crowds and have more space to skate comfortably, especially if you want room for practicing laps.
- Arrive early to secure parking near the venue, as parking at nearby facilities can be expensive ($17+) and the walk from distant lots may cause you to miss session start times or special event cutoffs.
- The ice bumper cars are a hit with visitors and sessions last exactly 20 minutes—long enough to have fun but short enough to stay warm. There's an indoor heated waiting area, so dress in layers.
- Bring extra warm socks and dress in multiple layers for the outdoor rink; the 20-minute ice bumper car sessions are noticeably cold, so expect to feel the chill even with the heated indoor waiting area.
- This venue is very kid-friendly with skate aids available for beginners, helpful staff, affordable locker rentals (under $4), and lively music. Families can easily spend 2-3 hours enjoying the experience.
