My kids really enjoyed visiting the ice rink. They don't know how to skate but there are options of hiring the penguins or seals (which aids in moving around ), makes it easier for first time goers . Within the first half an hour they were a bit more confident continuing without these aids. Skates can be hired although I suggest u take a pair of socks.
