Tips & Advice

  • Pre-register and pay online to save up to 33%, because prices may be different if you pay at the rink.
  • Bring your own bicycle, ski, snowboard or skateboard helmet for young skaters and beginners, because the arena does not rent out protective equipment.
  • Wear long socks, gloves and layers so you stay comfortable on the ice for the whole 90-minute session.
  • Rent a skate helper for an extra fee if a beginner in your group wants support while they find their balance on the ice.
  • Look at the program calendar or the arena's Facebook page before you go, since session times can change around holidays and special events.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Homeschool Skate, a special event session, runs every third Friday.
  • Pre-register and pay online to save up to 33%. Prices at the rink may differ.
