My grandson had a great camp.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for hockey-minded families and kids who want structured camp or league play tied to an NHL organization. Public skate sessions work for all ages, and younger children benefit from visiting on quieter weekday sessions when ice space is more open.

⏰Arrive early to allow time for skate rental fitting before your session starts

🎟️Weekday public sessions are significantly less crowded than weekend afternoons

“Ice is decent, but the restrooms are invariably a mess. Plugged toilets, broken pipes and no lights are the norm! Give a bonus to one of your ops guys to fix this basic stuff!”

Overview

Connected to the Dallas Stars organization, this Irving rink hosts youth hockey camps, learn-to-skate programs, and open public sessions. The ice quality draws consistent praise from hockey players and recreational skaters alike. Skate rentals are available on-site. The facility is best visited outside peak weekend hours when crowds are lighter. A concessions area serves snacks during sessions.
