Pro Tips

  1. 1.Check the public skating schedule online before visiting, as the arena hosts hockey games and practices that may limit open skating times, especially on weekends.
  2. 2.Arrive early to allow extra time for skate rentals and getting kids comfortable on the ice, particularly if it's their first time skating.
  3. 3.Dress in layers rather than heavy coats. Kids will warm up quickly once skating, and bulky clothing can make movement difficult.
  4. 4.Bring your own gloves or mittens (waterproof is best) and consider knee pads for nervous first-timers to boost their confidence.
  5. 5.The arena is located near Täby Centrum shopping mall, making it easy to combine skating with other family activities or shopping.
