Tips & Advice
- Bring gloves, since they're mandatory on the rink for skaters and for parents helping kids, though you can buy a pair if you forget.
- If you bring your own skates, get them very sharp first, because the synthetic rink needs extra-sharp blades to give you enough grip.
- Rent skates on site if yours are dull, since the rental skates are sharpened again right after every use.
- Parents helping little ones on the rink can borrow free loaner gloves instead of buying a new pair at the rink.
- Warm up in the Wintercafé with a drink or hot chocolate between rounds; it stays open into the night, long after the rink closes.
Special Events & Promotions
- The Fluitketelschuiftoernooi (kettle-sliding tournament) returns.
- School skating is back.
- Game nights return.
- New activities this season that haven't been done before.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my own skates?
Yes, but make sure they're very sharp. The rink is synthetic rather than real ice, so you need extra-sharp blades for grip. Rental skates are also available, and they're sharpened again after every use.
Do I need gloves on the rink?
Yes. Gloves are required for skaters and for parents helping their kids on the rink. If you forget yours, you can buy a new pair on site, and there are free loaner gloves for parents.
What is there to do besides skating?
The Wintercafé serves drinks and hot chocolate. Traditions such as the Fluitketelschuiftoernooi, school skating and game nights are back, along with new activities the organizers haven't run before.
Who is it for?
Young and old: keen skaters, and people who think they've earned a hot chocolate after two laps. It's for anyone up for a party, a get-together or just a good reason to get out of the house.
How can I volunteer?
Sign up through the volunteer form for Dwèrs op het ijs 2026-2027. Help is needed on the rink, at skate rental, in the ticket booth, behind the bar, at events, in the kitchen, during setup and teardown, and more.
