The Rinks at the Sports Center — Local services in Shelton

Our family of 5 loves coming here for public skate! They have training bars for younger children or beginners to help build confidence on the ice. (Those are, however, an additional charge) On Friday night public skate, they turn the lights off and have music and colorful lights shining on the ice, which makes the atmosphere even more enjoyable.

The Rinks is the best Ice skating facility in CT. For the past few, years my 3 children have enjoyed summer camp and skating/hockey programs. My kids say summer camp is awesome. Which makes me happy.

Programs like: Stratford PAL hockey Learn to Skate NY Rangers program D-league

Summer camp includes: Laser tag Skating Mini-golf Golf range Art Bowling Arcade Batting cages

They ended public skating early however and my daughter only got 30 mins of skating in - though we were forced to pay for two. Be advise they may cut the public skating short but tell you it lasts longer than it actually does. Again, we paid for 2 hours, but got only 30 mins...
