πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with first-time skaters and hockey-interested kids aged 5 and up. The historic setting adds a genuine talking point, and the staff's patience with beginners is well-documented in reviews.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Dress in layers - it's a real ice rink and stays genuinely cold throughout
⏰Ask staff to help tie skates correctly - they do this routinely and it prevents ankle roll
🎟️Book a learn-to-skate lesson at the start of a session for mixed-skill family groups
πŸš—Verify current session hours directly with the rink before visiting - online listings have been inaccurate

β€œThis place is 100% The Original!!! You want to visit this wonderful ice rink! It is the birthplace of the ZAMBONI!!! This place set the standard and it’s beautifully well maintained! The staff are friendly and professional! They are very helpful which is great especially for first time skaters. We had a family birthday party and it was a perfect location! The room was clean and ready for use as soon as it was time for our party. We had people in our group that had some experience and others that had never set foot in a skate. We opted to have a basic lesson at the start of our session and it was well worth it! Aveneth was our instructor and she was fabulous with a large group! She was attentive to different levels and was able to assist everyone who needed the help. Her support and encouragement went a long way! The majority of our group can’t wait to skate again and already are thinking about our next outing! Thank you so much for hosting us, Iceland! Pro Tip: If you are going skating or having an event… it’s cold. Brink a hat and gloves if cold weather affects you. Yup, it’s an ice rink! But dress warm and in layers! If you skate, you might warm up so just be prepared.”

β€œIceland in Paramount is an exceptional facility for hockey enthusiasts! My son has been playing hockey there for quite some time, and I couldn't be more impressed with the quality of the rink and the professionalism of the staff. The ice is always well-maintained, creating the perfect surface for skating and playing. The coaches are knowledgeable and dedicated, providing top-notch training for players of all levels. The facility itself is clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything a hockey player could need. From the welcoming atmosphere to the excellent amenities, Iceland in Paramount truly stands out as a premier destination for hockey. Highly recommended!”
