My daughter loves skating at Braemer Arena, the fresh popcorn and other snacks make our visits more fun!

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids of any skating ability — Tot Time is purpose-built for young children taking their first strides on ice. The outdoor rink adds a classic winter skating experience. Families new to skating should confirm Tot Time availability before visiting, as session schedules vary by season.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Check the city's online schedule for Tot Time and open hockey sessions before heading out — availability changes seasonally.

⏰The outdoor rink is a separate experience from the indoor sheets; confirm it's open during your planned visit.

🎟️Skate rentals are available on-site, so you don't need to bring your own equipment.

🚗Arrive a few minutes early for Tot Time sessions — they fill up quickly with young families.
