I was surprised at how busy this was when we went here, because they're only open for very specific times - I thought it must be because they weren't popular any more. The busyness especially meant that if the main rink was closed then the smaller (learners) rink was very crowded, which was a problem, wouldn't want to be there if there was a problem with the larger rink.

Had my nephews birthday here again this year and it was good. The kids had fun and enjoyed themselves and the adults got to chat over coffee and hot chips.

And I couldn't answer because I was never sure why they stopped it. It's a good place for the kids to have their birthday parties, for families to have a day out together, for the teens or even adults to go out on a date with their other half, but a revamp of the place I think would do the Ice Arena good. They need an upgrade.
