The rink provides a full set of gear for free, including ice skates, helmets, elbow, and knee pads. In addition, professional staff are always ready to offer necessary help and guidance.

As the rink has a softer ice surface, it is perfect for beginners, especially children.

Ice Family also provides Bobby the Seal, a skating aid that helps novices to maintain balance and move forward, allowing them to safely enjoy the fun of ice skating.

This winter, Ice Family is also offering exclusive training sessions from former world champion Kseniya Klimenko.

The outdoor rink will be open through March 7, 2025.
