From Google reviews

We just started coming to the ice arena this year and have been amazed by it. We love the facilities, the people, and how frequent the public skate is. My daughter has even had an opportunity after public skate once to try out ice hockey and loved it. They offer a lot of classes and sessions that you can partake in.

★★★★★ Robert, May 2023

Really fun time ice skating here. We have been multiple times for birthday parties, girl scouts and just open skate and every time was great! They had plenty of helper walker things for younger kids and the skate checkout moved quickly.

★★★★★ William, Feb 2023

What a fantastic ice rink! It has a wonderful, welcoming 'mom and pop' feel that makes it truly special. The facility is very nice and clean, and every member of the staff we interacted with was extremely friendly.

★★★★★ Nathan, Sep 2026

We had a great time at the ice rink! It was my son's first time and he loved it. They have great "gliders" for the little ones to help them get their legs!
