1 / 2Novi Ice Arena
📍 Novi, MI
Novi Ice Arena on Nick Lidstrom Drive features two full NHL-size ice surfaces with eight event-capable spaces for groups. Public open skate sessions run regularly alongside youth hockey leagues, adult leagues, and competitive tournaments.
I’ve had nothing but great experiences at Novi Ice Arena. This is a top-tier facility with two full NHL-size rinks, which makes it perfect whether you’re there for games, practices, or public skating. One thing that really stands out is how well the arena is set up for groups and events — with eight public locker rooms, everything runs smoothly even during busy times. The facility is clean, organized, and very well maintained. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, always willing to answer questions or assist wherever needed. You can tell they genuinely care about the experience for skaters and families. They also offer excellent programming, including Learn to Skate and Learn to Play Hockey, which are perfect for beginners of all ages. It’s a great place to start or develop your skills in a welcoming environment.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for hockey-playing families and confident recreational skaters. The dual-rink setup means public skate sessions run independently of hockey ice—check the schedule to confirm open skate availability. Birthday and group event spaces accommodate up to eight separate party setups simultaneously.
