★★★★★Featured review by Tim McNeill

Been to Grandson's hockey games here and my own kids games here. Very nice set up. Good concession stand. Comfortable temps in arena. Excellent sight lines. Players and coaches say good ice too.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

A solid year-round skating destination for families in the south metro Twin Cities area. Open skate sessions suit all ages with rental skates available on site. Families looking to enroll children in structured skating lessons will find beginner classes readily accessible. Spectator comfort is notably higher than the typical hockey arena.

đŸŽŸī¸Skating lessons start at the beginner level for young children — enroll early as class sizes fill

★★★★★

“A very attractive building, with a good concession area. Notably (but not excessively) warmer than some ice arenas. Backs on the benches! Good sightlines. This made sitting for two entire high school games in a row much easier.”

★★★★★

“Plenty of seating and parking. Very clean facility.”

Overview

Part of the Dakotah! Sport and Fitness complex on Trail of Dreams, the Ice Center operates two sheets of ice serving recreational skaters, youth hockey players, and figure skaters. Figure and hockey rentals are available at the facility. Group skating lessons run for all ages from beginners through adults. The arena is notably warmer than many rinks, with bench-backed seating and excellent sightlines — reviewers who sat through multiple games in a row called it genuinely comfortable.
