Tips & Advice
- Arrive earlier in the day, especially on weekends, to maximize your skating time and increase the chances of securing skates from the BUA rental if needed.
- Check the BUA rental's operating hours separately, as they differ from the ice rink's general opening times, particularly on weekdays.
- Consider bringing a small backpack to store your shoes and personal items while you skate, as dedicated storage may be limited.
- Dress in warm layers, as even with artificial ice, the surrounding air can be chilly. Waterproof gloves are also a good idea.
- Take advantage of the rink's central location to explore other attractions in Kristiansand city center before or after your skate.
