Best time
Arrive right after the Zamboni finishes resurfacing for the best ice quality. Reviews mention the ice can be rough between resurfacing cycles, so timing your visit around the Zamboni schedule will significantly improve your skating experience.
Visitor tip
Bring your own skates or plan to rent early in your visit. Multiple reviews mention the rental skates are uncomfortable and painful, so arriving early gives you time to adjust or consider alternatives before your session begins.
Best time
Plan your visit during the winter season for the full experience—the rink features beautiful holiday decorations and festive atmosphere. Check holiday hours in advance as several reviews mention varying seasonal hours.
What visitors say
My grandchildren and I had the best time there over the winter season! All of the people were friendly, and the ice rink was nice. They took the Zamboni around it several times to make sure that the scratches weren’t bad and it wasn’t…

We arrived just in time for the fresh ice as the zamboni parked. It was the end of the day, an hour before closing and between freshly sharpened skates and rough ice, it is tough. Still, skating lessons paid off and I managed to stay…
