We love the kids hockey academy classes. They have so much fun and always look forward to it. The only downside is food options are quite limited. The cafe should be able to offer a bigger menu considering there's a full-sized kitchen. We'd love healthier or heartier options.

We entered at around 9 am for a day out. Split payments were allowed, and staff were friendly. Being our first time skating, it was a brand-new experience for all of us. There was a free lesson where two members of O’Brien icehouse taught us basic skills on how to skate. It was an excellent experience and it is definitely one for us to remember. The rink was cleaned after we were there for approximately 1.75 hours. Canteen food was a bit overpriced seeing the cheapest item being water for $4.50. The rink clean and custom service was amazing. As we travel by public transport parking was an issue however the venue was very easy to locate. The price we had to pay to enter the rink was very reasonable. It was under $30 and skate hire was included. Although some injuries (one of my friend’s ankle bone skin peeled off) as the ice skates themselves were fairly tight, we had an amazing time. Would definitely recommend this place, and look forward to coming back soon!

Great Ice Skating Rink Experience I recently visited the ice skating rink, and it was a fantastic experience! The facility is well-maintained, and the ice was smooth and perfect for skating. The staff were friendly and helpful, making sure everyone was safe and enjoying their time. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced skater, there's plenty of space to move around and practice. The rental skates were in good condition and comfortable to wear. Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great time on the ice!

Watched the Australian figure skating championships on a Saturday Arvo. Technical difficulties delayed proceedings for 45 mins but then we were underway with the juniors from 5 states. Not bad entertainment for $5 per adult. Great views. Food and drinks available. Sitting at the end of the rows ensures you will be getting up and down every 5 mins to let others in and out.

This is a good skate rink, but I’ve been too a few and this one doesn’t have what it takes to be 5 stars. It doesn’t have a DJ doing any games, and it didn’t seem to have a sound system that the staff knew how to operate. It says in really big writing that you can download an app and choose the music yourself, like you find in lots of indoor entertainment areas these days. So I did, but the system was muted so there was no sound. 🫤. Then they turned on the sound but apparently it just stopped working not long after that. On the plus side it has no session times so the $35 I spent on admission I could have skated for as long as I’d wanted. It was quite expensive for a family of 4.
