Aleixo Arena Skating Rink

This is a very nice rink. They have a small skate shop and a few vending machines. There are stands on either sides of the benches — unfortunately, there is mesh to the ceiling the whole length of the stands. The ice was great. It’s right off of route 44 in Taunton.

What a fun place.
I used to come skating here when I was kid almost every weekend. It was so much fun and still is! I went here with my friend and her 4 year old daughter for a first time trek on the ice. It was… unsuccessful, haha. The 4 year old was not impressed with the idea of slipping and sliding and falling. It was all in good fun though.
The rink has free skate in addition to the hockey teams that play their daily. They refresh the ice with their Zamboni often enough that the ice is always in good skating condition — but not so often that it ruins your skate time.
The staff is very friendly. The woman at the front counter will tell you her entire life story and that of her children and grandchildren. What a pleasure.
$ 5 to skate. $ 5 to rent skate. Can’t beat it.
