Crazy to be able to skate outside in such a moderate climate. The kids love the lessons (indoors) and the generous free skate opportunity (outdoors). I wish the parking area was a little bigger, but that is a trivial issue compared to what they offer
Very disappointing, they obviously over sell tickets. It was super crowded and the ice was very destroyed even though I showed up basically when they opened. Also, they did not have my shoe size which made it extremely uncomfortable to skate, as the large size was so big that it was unstable, and the smaller size technically fit better, but caused my toes to hurt terribly. I could not fully skate when they felt so painful. They should have offered to refund me for the shoes if they don't have ones that work for me! fee. Very disappointed.
Lasted only 10 min the beginner class for adults with teacher barking orders. For some reason beginner class starts with orders to skate all the way to the end of the rink. One tip for coaches Just because you yell rapid fire that does not mean someone who has never skated before can move faster on ice
Our family loves this place! The girls have taken ice skating classes and they were so happy! Staff super friendly, besides classes they do have ice skating sessions open to the public. The lodge is adorable with fireplaces throughout the patio, lots of outdoor seating area, no food to buy but they do have a hot chocolate and snack vending machine.
The winter lodge is not a serious figure skating rink but amazing social and fun rink. It’s so beautiful, clean, safe and fun rink. Great to come with friends and family and enjoy the holiday! I’ve been. I’ve been coming to this rink for 30 or so years so this is childhood memories now being made with my daughter. :) it does get very busy here. This is one of the few indoor and outdoor rinks.
