★★★★★Featured review by B Gilbert

Public skate was reasonably priced compared to other area options and staff was very helpful. Price included skate rental. Reservation website could be improved.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids of any age who want on-ice experience without prior gear investment — skate rental is included in public session pricing. Youth hockey beginners get free equipment for their first lesson. Competitive players will find legitimate league and tournament infrastructure. The facility runs cold, so dress in layers.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Reserve public skate sessions online in advance — the booking system is functional and basic, so allow extra time.

⏰First-time hockey participants receive free gear for learn-to-play sessions — no equipment purchase needed to try the sport.

🎟️Dress in warm layers; multiple reviewers flag the rink temperature as notably cold.

🚗Check the schedule tab before visiting — ice time is shared between public skate, lessons, and league play.
