Children's Health StarCenter McKinney
📍 McKinney, TX
Children's Health StarCenter McKinney is a Dallas Stars-operated ice facility in McKinney, TX offering public skating sessions, figure skating lessons, youth hockey development programs, and drop-in ice time across a full-size rink.
A very good place to enroll your child in figure skating or hockey. I myself thoroughly enjoyed skating there alongside my son. The coaching staff is exceptionally strong; they are demanding, yet at the same time very attentive and sensitive to every child.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families actively pursuing figure skating or youth hockey development. The coaching staff quality stands out in reviews for structured programs. Casual public skate sessions work for all ages, including young beginners. Check the online schedule carefully — session times and Zamboni breaks affect actual skate time available.

“No supervision or management on site. The schedule posted on the website doesn’t match what actually going on at the rink. Update on 3/26: the ice skating schedule is better than before. Bathroom (women) is maintained accordingly.”
Charity Grace Stanford
“The rink is big and really nice, HOWEVER, the previous session and the Zamboni will cut into the public skate time and they don’t give extra time so you don’t get the full hour, or hour n 15 that you’re supposed to. It’s super annoying and a scam.”
