McFetridge Ice Rink (Indoor) — Attraction in Jefferson Township

Do not go here if you're trying to practice ice skating with children. You will be bombarded with 10 year old hockey kids darting sideways back and fourth, from the center to the wall, not in a circle like everyone is supposed to. And adults darting as fast as they possibly can cutting you off and swerving around you, knocking people over. Not to mention the wanna be figure skater that randomly stops in front of you trying to do a spin or randomly cuts 90° without looking. Utter free for all and where are the employees that work there in charge of order amongst the chaos?

So multiple children falling isn’t a hazard? Why not limit the amount of people skating then? Many children in my group did not want to continue simply because they could barely stand on the ice and kept hurting themselves. So what was supposed to be a fun birthday event wasn’t worth the money or time at the...

Great ice facility on the north side with plenty of programs to offer for people of all ages. Features a large main rink and a smaller half studio rink connected by a wide back hallway. The arena itself is definitely dated, but well maintained, which is perfectly durable considering most hockey, figure skating and free-skate programs are quite affordable. There aren't many other amenities such as refreshments or skate sharpening, but at least there are places in the...
