Tips & Advice
- Arrive at least 30 minutes before your session to collect skates, because a lot of people are getting skates on and off at the same time.
- Book online ahead, especially for weekends, because weekend sessions always sell out and buying at the onsite ticket office is a gamble.
- Reserve a sled skate aid when booking a child or family ticket, because they're limited, first come first served, and can sell out.
- Dress for the weather, as this outdoor rink keeps running in rain and no refunds are given because of undesirable weather.
- Use the lockers to store bags and shopping while you skate, and pick up socks or gloves at the rink if you forget them.

Quick Actions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can young children skate?
Children can start from about age two if they're steady on their feet and fit into skates. Adjustable double-bladed bob-skates fit over shoes from a child's size 7. Sled skate aids are also available, but the child still needs a ticket and skates.
What can I do if I don't want to skate?
Head to the Moguls Alpine Bar for festive drinks and hot food, and watch the skaters from the viewing platform. The spectator area and bar are free for everyone.
Do I need my own skates?
No. Hire skates go up to adult size 15. You can bring your own, but the price stays the same and there's no sharpening service.
What happens if it rains?
The rink runs in nearly all weather except a blizzard, and rain actually makes the ice smoother. There are no refunds for bad weather, but if skating isn't suitable you'll be offered another session.
Can I change my booking?
Yes, you can move it yourself up to 24 hours before your session. There are no refunds.
