The best hot chocolate around! Arena is a jewel in our city!
🏆 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.”
