Tarraco Gel Ice Rink

Visitors take to the ice for recreational skating sessions at Tarragona's seasonal rink. Skaters move along a designated direction of travel, with on-site staff available to assist. Younger and beginner skaters can practice using rental balance aids, while adult companions can join children on the ice wearing slip-resistant crampons.

Know Before You Go

Tips & Advice

  • Arrive 30 minutes before your session to collect your skates, because no one is let in once a session has started and there is no grace period.
  • Bring gloves, since they are mandatory on the ice. If you forget them, you can buy a pair at the ticket office.
  • Wear thick socks and warm, long-sleeved sportswear, which make the skates more comfortable and keep you warm while you move.
  • If you want to go on the ice with a child without skating, rent anti-slip crampons at the ticket office early, as stock is limited.
  • Buy tickets ahead online for the exact day and session you want, since each ticket is only valid for the session chosen at purchase.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Group discounts and perks for schools, youth groups and associations (groups of 15 or more).
  • Promotions can be applied to online tickets through the Tarraco Arena app when one is available.
