A nice Family Spot The Ice Arena is a wonderful destination for families looking to enjoy a fun, active day together. The rink’s smooth ice and upbeat music create a lively atmosphere, and the availability of skate rentals (including sizes for kids and adults) makes it hassle-free for families to dive right into the fun. However, the arena’s limited operating hours can be a drawback. On weekends and holidays, when families are most likely to visit, the shortened schedule leads to significant crowding. The rink becomes packed, resulting in limited space to move freely. It’s clear the venue is popular for good reason, but the restricted hours make it feel cramped during peak times. Extending hours could alleviate this issue and improve the overall experience. Overall, our family still had a blast. If you’re planning a visit, aim for weekday sessions if possible, or arrive early to beat some of the rush.

Amazing! We went there for a hockey tournament and it did not disappoint. Food was cheap, and it was placed in the center of a town square. Rink was smooth and very good, and the music was a great bit. Skate rental and sharpening are cheap, and so is extra hockey stuff! Would definitely come here again!

Very nice rink in an awesome location. Public skate was cheap for $8 and they seem to be doing pretty well with adhering to COVID regulations. There's plenty of room for non-skaters to watch too. When we were there it was freshly Zambonied and the ice looked great. Plenty of walkers for new skaters as well. You have to remember this is in a ski resort village so anytime the resort is busy (weekends, vacation weeks, etc) the rink will be more busy. The only criticism I have is that the rink can get cold, expect it to be only slightly warmer inside than out.

This is an older rink, perhaps built as part of a multi purpose resort, and used for tournament style hockey and figure skating. Ice surface , boards, and parking very good. High quality access road to the resort 12 miles from major North/South interstate hyway. This is all part of a major ski area, beautiful surroundings in central New Hampshire, with several large restaurants, condos, etc, part of the facility. No grandstand for spectators, but spacious room to watch around the boards on the same level as the ice. Adequate rest rooms and small warming area, skate rentals, snack bar, public skating available. Handicap access looks good.

Was a fun place for a hockey tournament. Would like more seating though.

Great place for winter sports ! Great ice . Lacks stands but the glass is good .

Great environment for kids! The staff is very helpful and friendly and they have a cool 😎 dog roaming around. Seems to be well up kept and running smoothly. And whoever is on aux needs a raise. Also these guys know how to drive a Zamboni real smooth.
