1 / 3St Clair Shores Civic Arena
📍 St. Clair Shores, MI
St Clair Shores Civic Arena offers public ice skating with skate rental available on-site. Children 6 and under skate free with a paying adult. Parent & Tot sessions run September through May for kids 6 and under.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Strongest fit for families with young children - the Parent & Tot and Pucks & Parents programs are purpose-built for kids under 12. The low per-person cost makes it accessible for larger families. General public skate suits all ages and draws a relaxed, neighborhood crowd rather than competitive skaters.

“Loved skating here on a visit to the area!! ⛸️ And you can’t beat the $3 price!! Concession stand if you’re hungry. It may look simple, but loved the ice and the crowd. No pretentious show boats, just people enjoying the ice. Plan on coming again when in the area.”
