This ice rink is very small, which is not a big deal except for all the random holes in the ice that are unavoidable. And I am not talking small holes either. My group and I skated for 20 minutes before being asked to exit the rink so they could do "ice maintenance." We were okay with this as we thought that we would actually get a surface that was smooth enough to skate on. Well 20 minutes later and 1 lap of the Zamboni on the outside of the rink, no where else, we got to skate again. Except they didn't clean up after dumping piles of ice from the Zamboni. They also put cones up in a line, which again isn't a big deal, except the rink is already small enough. We ended up leaving due to the lack of skateable surface.
It wasn't until an hour later that I noticed writing on our wristbands, since they put it on you and all you see is the white underneath part when they do so. The wrist band is apparently their waiver of liability... I find it a little bit sketchy that they do not disclose this to you at all. At most other places that require you have a waiver, you must sign it for it to be legally binding.
$13 dollars a person is a little steep for a small ice rink with a more than subpar skating surface and a sketchy (non-binding) waiver. Go...
Read more$9 if you are military. $10 if you have membership, $14 otherwise. You can skate all day even if you leave and come back later. They have penguins for scared kids to make it a safer skate but those are $10 an hour. Every 2 hours they run maintenance on the ice for 15 minutes. They have plenty of shoes and they disinfect them between customers. There's a concession stand nearby for hot cocoa and cookies but no where you can buy lunch (they had a hotdogs stand near by but it's closed) overall the kids had a blast I guess the only complaint I have is that we rented a penguin and they didn't tell us that it's only for an hour or that they'll be shutting down the rink for 15 minutes. We basically lost our penguins 5 minutes after paying for them because we went to get lunch while they're running their maintenance on the ice. The sign says the price includes the skating rental but it doesn't say that the penguins are not included or that there is a time limit on them so we felt kinda cheated on that which is why I give 4 stars...
Read moreFun fun and more fun! We had an excellent time here at the Ice Rink! Unforgettable experience really ... We were greated with a smile at the register and given the arm band. Then our skate equipment check out staff was friendly and very helpful. Even gave us first timers a boost of encouragement. I definitely needed it as I was nervous I would fall and break a bone. (Didn't happen) the weather was nice and the rink pace moved well. This team/staff had monitors (people) on the ice and families seemed to be enjoying the moment. There was time for pictures and the scenery they have was aesthetically pleasing! They have restrooms that are easy to find and also a snack station in case you need something. They cleared the ice to groom it and it was nice to see the Zamboni do its magic. I can't say enough in my review how pleased I was with the visit. Thank you OKC Downtown/OKC Yelp for the tickets...you got me out of my comfort zone and I liked...
