Tips & Advice
- Avoid weekday mornings, when the rink is reserved for school classes and other visitors can't get in.
- Bring an ID card or similar item if you need skates, because rentals need a deposit and must be rebooked for every new ice session.
- Get there early if your beginner wants a penguin skating aid; they're free but limited in number.
- Leave glide shoes at home, as they aren't allowed on the ice, and use your own skates or rent a pair there.
- Pick up a 6-session card or season pass if you plan to skate often, since each single ticket covers just one session.
Special Events & Promotions
- This season marks 11 years of the Görlitz ice rink.
- The Schlesischer Christkindelmarkt opens a few steps away from December 4 to 20.
