With the winter olympics fresh in her mind, my 5 yr has been begging me to take her ice skating. So we bundle up, dig out our skates, drive downtown, find parking… only to find the the Providence rink has a line that wraps around Kennedy Plaza. Ugh! I could not resist those pleading eyes, so quickly looked up the next closest rink… Thayer Ice Arena. WHAT A FIND! First of all, it was a BARGAIN… $ 3 per person for hours of rink time. Secondly, EVERYONE was so nice. From the staff behind the desk, to the kids helping out our the ice, they were all helpful and friendly. With the reasonable costs, and weekend hours… I have found a new staple in our winter activities. We will definitely be back!

I grew up skating at these two rinks, from Pee Wee to Bantam to high school hockey, and other leagues. I’m enjoying taking my daughter skating now and teaching her; however, today(2÷2÷14) the rink guards on duty fell short on their duties. There were well over 100 people on the ice, many of them just standing still or going in the wrong direction, and the rink staff(all teenagers or young 20s) were oblivious. Also, I saw one rink guard on the ice using her cell phone in spite of another one telling me I couldn’t use mine to take a photo of my daughter. The staff’s supervisor needs to set and enforce the rules and ensure that the rink guards do more than just skate around and chat with one another.

This place has 2 skating rinks and a pool. They also have events there like roller derby and RWA(renegade wrestling alliance). Its spacious, has bleachers, men practicing hockey, concession stands and a big parking lot. The staff and owners are also really nice. It’s a great place to have or attend an event.
