Skating in the city

Excellent holiday activity, fun for all ages, especially the kids. Not too big for the little ones either. Skate aids make it possible for all abilities to give it a go. Great to be in the city to explore cafes etc after.

Disappointing

I booked over a month before for our ice-skating adventure as my daughter and her family including two small children 4 and 7 years old ; coming from Auckland . The ring was overcrowded and we were not able to hire the blue supports for small children as the rink was too full and there were none available; this made it very difficult for me as a Grandmother with a sore back trying to support small children on the very busy ice rink. We will not be back.
