- Check the 'Schulklassen' (school classes) schedule to know when the rink is reserved for groups and unavailable to the public.

- Combine your visit with the nearby Schlesische Christkindelmarkt (November 28 - December 14) for a full festive experience.
- Keep your ID handy as it may be required as a deposit for skate rentals.
