- Complete the required waiver online before arriving; every patron, including non-skaters, needs one to enter.
- Arrive no more than 30 minutes before your scheduled entry, keep tickets ready to scan, and check in with your entire party.

- Plan everything before entering because re-entry is not allowed once you leave the facility and tickets are non-refundable.
- Check the rink’s homepage or social media if unsafe weather is forecast; closures are posted there, and affected visitors can skate on another public session day.
