We always go with the kids enjoy there
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Good fit for families with children aged 4 and up who want ice time without a club membership. Learn-to-skate and hockey intro programs make it accessible for complete beginners. Birthday parties during public skate hours can feel interrupted — dedicated party room bookings give more control over the experience.

“Awesome never been skating but it was fun. Even tho I fell still a good time. Highly recommend just not during birthday parties”

“Omnimax Warehouse”

“Pros: free parking. The staff is very friendly. Cons: as others mentioned, 1. it’s a bit expensive for an afternoon family outing (especially to build consistency and strong skaters.) 2. the ice is choppy 3. they actually interrupt the family skate to do photo opportunities for the bday kids which makes paying families leave the ice during a very small two hour skate window; (and they don’t even clean up the ice). 4. As others mentioned the skate mates are taken up quickly by the birthday parties and first come first serve. (We did have ours taken from us a couple times so you need to mark yours. The staff was very quick to help us retrieve ours as needed.) 5.The food is typical toxic poison most businesses serve in America so if you don’t mind making your body sick they do have snack bar.”
