What it is

Children under 13 skate alongside a supervising adult, making it a genuinely shared experience rather than a drop-off activity. For those who catch the bug, the Skating Academy runs year-round classes with step-by-step instruction, and ice hockey programmes cater to players of all ages and skill levels with experienced coaches.

Birthday parties and group sessions are also on offer, giving families plenty of reasons to return well beyond a one-off outing.
