Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Dress warmly in layers, including a hat, and wear thick socks for maximum comfort in your skates.
- Consider visiting during weekday mornings or late afternoons for a less crowded experience, as peak times are evenings and weekends.
- If you have a child with very small feet, call or visit the rink in advance to confirm skate sizing availability to avoid disappointment.
- While watching is free, seating is limited, so arrive early or be prepared to stand if you're not skating.
- Valuables should be left at home, as the rink is not responsible for lost or stolen items from the limited cubbies available.
