Tickets & Reservations

You can purchase tickets online ahead of time or on-site (first come, first served). Please note that your reservation is valid only for the date and time you select.

Each ticket includes 75 minutes of skating fun, starting when you check in at the rink.

After purchase, you'll receive two emails:

  • Your receipt, and
  • A link to your Reservation Management page, where you can add skater names and complete electronic waivers.

Each skater will need to complete their own waiver, and parents or guardians must sign for minors.

All skating sessions are weather permitting. While we do our best to have all skate sizes available, wait times may occur during busy periods. A waiver is required for every guest each time they skate.

Private Parties

Reserve the rink and Après Chalet bar for your next celebration — from corporate gatherings and birthdays to family get-togethers and holiday parties. Make it a night to remember on the ice!

Minimum 50 guests
