I had a work party there and it was so much fun they give out snacks and drinks. Be warned when you ice skate the hockey shoes rub against you leg and you get blisters and bruises sometimes but after all of that the place is very nice and not very cold for an ice rink.

★★★★☆ Chelsie, Jan 2025

Very nice ice rink, the employees are very respectful and do very well at their jobs. The locker rooms were very clean, (the showers could've been a little cleaner.) All around a very nice ice rink though hasn't changed a bit since I was last there 4 years ago.

★★★★★ Eli, Dec 2018

Very nice ice rink! Nothing fancy, but very clean and s great place to watch hockey! ISU vs. Missouri State University.

★★★★★ Angela, Sep 2019

Glad to see that there has been more hockey sessions on the Calendar after being down for the month of May. My 6 year old loves being out there. Great atmosphere on the ice!
