Ice Den Public Skating is an activity that combines fitness and fun for skaters of all ages and abilities.  With public skate sessions held each weekend, as well as special event sessions throughout the year and our annual Holiday Skates, there is always time to lace up your skates and hit the ice!

• Public Skate Sessions are 2-hours in length unless otherwise noted.
• Please review the Public Skate calendar for upcoming sessions.

ONLINE ADVANCE REGISTRATION REQUIRED
Below please find additional information to help you plan and prepare for an Ice Den Public Skate:

ADMISSION
Effective October 2021, public skate sessions will have limited capacity and reservations must be made ONLINE IN ADVANCE prior to arrival at the Ice Den.  Skaters will check-in at the Administration Desk located inside the Ice Den lobby to pick-up an admission ticket/pass to present at skate rental. The passes are adhesive stickers that state the specific date/time of each session.  Similar to ski lift tickets, the passes can be directly applied to clothing, however we advise you to NOT apply directly to leather, suede or other sensitive materials.  Metal ‘ticket wickets’ are available at the Administration Desk and can be used to affix the pass to a jacket zipper or belt loop.  Each skater must have a pass for the current session and it must be worn and visible at all times during the session.

Please Note:
The average temperature inside the rink is 56 degrees. The Ice Den encourages skaters and spectators to dress accordingly for warmth and safety. Helmets, socks, mitts/gloves and other equipment is recommended. Hockey sticks and pucks will not be permitted on the ice during public skating sessions.

Ice Den public skate sessions are 2-hours in length, unless otherwise posted with a 20-minute intermission. Dates and times are subject to change - please review the current published calendar.  Skate trainers are available to rent for a fee and can be used at these family friendly sessions.

Admission Includes:

• 2-hour public skate session
• Family & kid-friendly music
• Standard lighting
• 20-minute intermission
• Admission for all ages is $14 per skater including skate rental. Unless posted otherwise.
• Space is limited. Online advance registration/reservations required.

To assist some of our younger and beginner skaters, the Ice Den provides a limited number of skate trainers for public skating sessions*.  The fee to rent a Skate Trainer is $5 payable at the Administration Desk.  The skater will receive a wristband to show a member of the Guest Services staff identified by bright yellow uniforms to retrieve the trainer.

Children using a trainer must be accompanied by an adult skater.

For safety reasons, only the weight of the child should be placed on the trainer. Adults should only assist the child and avoiding putting their weight on the trainer. While using the trainer, please demonstrate proper use, common sense, and courtesy to all patrons.  Misuse of a skate trainer will result in loss of privilege.

*Skate trainers are available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Please remember to first-check in at Admin Desk to pick up your admission pass prior to skate rental.  All skaters must have your admission pass clearly visible at all times as the Guest Service Representatives will be checking for proper identification. Regardless of your skill level, there are elements of risk in ice skating. Please familiarize yourself with the posted Skater’s Responsibility Code and the language on your admission ticket. To ensure an enjoyable experience for every skater on the ice, it is important to remember to use common sense, show courtesy to others and be aware of unsafe conditions.  If at any time you need assistance, please ask one of our Guest Service Representatives identified in bright yellow uniforms.

Like many businesses the Ice Dens are understaffed as we navigate ongoing labor and supply chain disruptions.  As a result our public skate sessions have been modified.  Our team is short-handed, please be kind and respectful to the staff who are working the event for your entertainment and follow staff instructions, posted signs and policies.

Customer safety is a priority at the Ice Den. To ensure the public skating sessions as safe as possible for all participants, we prohibit jumps and spins during these sessions.  Advanced skaters wanting to practice jumps, spins, leg lifts and any other advanced skating techniques are encouraged to attend the 20-30 weekly freestyle skating sessions that are offered to practice these maneuvers.

The Chilly Bean Café is open during all public skating sessions and offers a wide-variety of snacks and beverages to enjoy!
