Pro Tips
- 1.Arrive early on weekend afternoons to get skates fitted before the rink gets crowded, especially during the 1:00-6:00 PM family sessions
- 2.Bring extra socks and gloves - the rink is cold (obviously!), and gloves protect little hands from blade accidents and cold ice during falls
- 3.Consider booking a few beginner lessons before attempting open skate; instructors help kids gain confidence quickly and parents can learn alongside them
- 4.Friday and Saturday evening sessions (7:00-11:00 PM) feature DJ music and lights, great for older kids and tweens but may be overwhelming for younger children
- 5.The snack bar offers hot chocolate and pizza, perfect for warming up between skating sessions
Best Time to Visit
Sunday afternoons (2:00-6:00 PM) offer the most family-friendly atmosphere with moderate crowds. Weekday evening sessions (Monday/Thursday 6:30-9:00 PM) are quieter if you prefer a less hectic experience, while Friday afternoons work well for homeschoolers and younger children.
What to Know
Skate rental is included with admission (check their website or call for current pricing). The facility has a snack bar on-site, and parents can watch from heated viewing areas if not skating themselves.
Seasonal Notes
Year-round indoor ice skating makes this a perfect summer activity when outdoor play is too hot. Holiday-themed skate sessions typically occur around Christmas and Valentine's Day. The rink may offer special summer camps and break programs - check ahead for schedules.
Nearby Eats
Papa John's Pizza and Chick-fil-A are located within a few minutes' drive on Windsor Spring Road, offering quick kid-friendly meals before or after skating. For sit-down dining, check out local family restaurants along Washington Road.
