Tips & Advice
- Buy both admission and skate-rental tickets before going to the Skate Rental Office, in the tunnel under Exchange Terrace opposite the Ticket Office.
- Rental skates have no half-sizes and are first-come, first-served, so size down from your usual shoe size and allow for availability.
- Plan to stay for your full three-hour admission: exit and re-entry are not permitted during that period.
- Check weather and event updates before traveling; skating is weather-permitting, and prepaid reservations may be rescheduled if inclement weather closes the rink.
- Bring a credit card or ID if renting lockers, helmets or skate aids, since one must be held at the Ticket Office during use.
