Great facility! We came here for a field trip! The music and lights were great and we had a blast! The skates are okay. I got the figure skates. They are easier to control. The hockey skates can go faster but they are harder to control... We came here in January and the rink was still decorated for the holidays.
My daughter has been taking lessons for the last 4 yrs...great instructors, smooth and well cared for rink. Seats are heated. A little annoying to park if there is a sporting event on campus.
Had a great time ice skating here on family night. It was my first time ice skating and it was a blast. It can be a little daunting at first but once you get the hang of it it's quite enjoyable. There can be a crowd but there is no pressure from those who already know how to skate. Everyone seems just enjoy themselves.
The best rinks in Delaware hands down. Ice is well maintained, facilities are clean, games start on time and schedules are posted in advance. Looking forward to the new facilities once they are complete.
