- If you're new to skating, rent a 'Lernhilfe' (learning aid) for €3 per hour to help you balance and gain confidence on the ice.
- Check the website's start page for any weather-related closures, as the arena may close due to storms or extreme conditions.
- For Eisstockschießen, book a second lane if your group exceeds 16 people to ensure everyone has enough space and playing time.
