Bowie Ice Arena — Local services in Bowie

My children needed to prepare for an ice show in December and we chose to do our final preparations at the Bowie Ice Arena. I hadn't been since just before the pandemic -- we had a wonderful time.

He just needs to be reminded to be nice and not ass-u-me.

My kids love going to Bowie Ice Arena to skate. My son has taken several learn to skate lessons. The instructors make it fun for little ones who are just starting out. Lots of games mixed with skill.

Rental skates are available! ...
