Incredible Ice

An okay skating rink. What’s unfortunate is that my favorite times here werent actually in the building. They were mostly in the parking lot towards the back. They dump loads of ice out there which means there were times where friends and I would come out here for Florida Snow Ball fights.

Great skating. 3 rinks. Home of the Florida Panthers.

My 11 year old daughter has been taking group skating lessons for 3 weeks now and she loves it. The staff are very friendly and they are really good with the kids. I have even seen some adults out on the ice learning to skate too.
The class is 45 minutes long. The instructors start off with some warm up exercises to the beat of some music and this lasts about 5 minutes. The music is then turned off and they break the students up in groups which is based on their experience levels. They then work on different techniques; starting, stopping, going backwards etc. That lasts 35 minutes. The final 5 minutes is free skate with the music back on and everyone skates in a big circle. Pure fun.
I forgot how much I paid for the lessons, but I think it was in the 100 range for 4 lessons. The sessions are usually 8 weeks long, but my daughter started in middle so we were prorated. The reason why I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 was because the rental skates suck. The skates are beat up and the blades are dull. Beyond that the lessons are solid. Remember to tell them Dan sent you and bring a jacket because it’s cold in there:)

I have been to several skating venues and by far this has moved up to be my favorite. Everyone that works there was really nice and explained things clearly. They have excellent prices. Check out their website for the weekday deals! They have three rings. One that it seemed to be being renovated, one for the ice skating crowd and one for the hokey players. The Panthers come here to practice and they have an upstairs bar that overlooks the ring. Not to mention $ 1 draft beers! You can’t beat that anywhere!

Pretty neat place! My wife and I went here on a Wednesday and only paid $ 6.50 each (skate rental included) since they offer their «cheap skate» price from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. A lot of ppl there but not too many to intimidate a novice like myself. The woman at the front window was really nice and help us understand their weekly specials as well as sessions that they offer: On Wed. nights they have personal one-​on-​one training for Couples or people over 21 in which they close of the back end of the main ice rink and teach you how to skate or brush up on ice skating. The price? $ 10 per person! Better yet, after your 1 hour session, you get a free draft beer upstairs in their sports lounge! That’s right they have a full bar upstairs and best of all they offer $ 1 draft beers as well as food.
If that isn’t you’re thing, you are free to visit the other ice rink at the opposite end of the complex and check out local ice hockey teams playing or if you have kids, they offer a whole slew of children’s activities, from learning how to skate, figure skating, ice hockey and, they even offer afterschool care as well as skatecamp for kids. Be forewarned though, it is a little chilly inside so you may want to wear/​bring a sweater.
