Ice Rink At Aces Ballpark

This is my third winter in Reno, but the first time I’ve gone skating at the city-​owned rink. My boyf and I went as a double date with friends, and we had so much fun. $ 8 for adult admission and $ 3 to rent skates. We went on a Thursday night the second to last week the rink is open in February, and so we largely had the rink to ourselves. That was great!
The rink looks beautiful under the lights of the outside of the Aces stadium, and it is super easy to find parking in the free parking garage across the street. The rink is conveniently located near food and drink options, and we had beer and snacks before and after skating at Mellow Fellow.
The skates for rent were basic and had seen a lot of loving before the city bought them, but they had our sizes and they did their job. At first we were all a little shaky and we wished that the rink had more of the little safety seal pushers that are primarily meant for little kids. But we shared two with some kiddos and then got comfortable enough to be silly and play tag on ice. So much fun!
Major complaint? They need to zamboni the ice better and more often! We were skating on some super scuffed up ice. No one will mind getting off the rink for five minutes every hour if it makes the ice smoother and thus easier on which to skate!
Nevertheless, we will most definitely return next winter. Perhaps with our own skates, that we can use also on Little Washoe Lake!

This was my first time skating at the Aces stadium rink and only my second time ice skating in general. The previous time was when the rink was on Virginia by the river. The parking was close and people working inside were nice. The prices were reasonable and they even had big size ice hockey style skates, which I needed. The actual rink was pretty small and smaller than it was in its previous location. We went at the end of the day but it was pretty well lit. The main problem was that the ice was pretty torn up. Kids were hockey stopping all over the ice and marking it all up. It made a pretty unsmooth surface for the rest of us to skate on. Despite the small size and rough ice I still managed to have a good time and only fell down 1 ½ times.

The ice skating rink is so much fun and great for a double date! I love that they have it at Aces Stadium because of the size of the rink, for the snacks and for the parking too! Parking was free so no problem there and directly across from the rink made it easier than trying to find parking by the river like it used to be.
8 $ to skate and 3 $ to rent skates, puts us at 11 $ each to enjoy a night out with our good friends! The bars upstairs were open which would be fun for drinking after, or the Mexican restaurant downstairs for dinner.
All of us skated for awhile before getting tired so we decided to get hot cocoa and popcorn! I always have to have hot cocoa when I go ice skating! Everything at the snack bar was around 3 $, the hot cocoa could have been larger… or had whipped cream! But it was good, and the popcorn was a good size and good for «not movie theatre popcorn»…
A few more rounds around the rink and we called it a night but we want to come back and bring Taven, our four year old! He would enjoy all of this, especially since they have little blue plastic seals you can push around to help you skate!

Super fun, good size ice skating rink at reasonable prices … good family fun for the winter!
Admission is only $ 6 for kids — $ 8 for adults + $ 3 for skate rental. And you can skate for hours to your heart’s desire! ;)
Service is very friendly and efficient. And generally a good crowd at this rink.
Wonderful gift shop @ the Aces and nearby Arroyo Mexican Grill serves yummy chips and salsa, as well as Peets for you to watch your little ones skate.
All around a fun time for all!
