• Seal and bear skating aids to rent, so a first-timer can stay upright and push along
• Free helmet with rental skates, and skate sharpening at the same desk
• Roofed but open-sided, so the air is cold: dress kids in gloves and warm layers

A roofed, open-sided ice rink run by the WCT Spartan sports center, which also has a roller-skating track on site. Rental skates come with a free helmet, and beginners can rent a seal or bear skating aid to push across the ice.

Saturday evenings turn into an ice disco, and instructors give private lessons for kids and adults.
