I've been taking my son here for skating lessons for about 6 months now. After lessons and some…read morepublic skate time, I feel I can fairly leave a review. First of all, the ice is great here and it's a great place to skate. If you aren't wanting to go to South Lake Tahoe, this is really your only other option. They hold many events here including the amateur hockey team games and the UNR team games, so the rink is well kept. The lessons have been decent quality. Most instructors are young ladies, likely high school students, but they do a good enough job for my 4 year old. You get a fair price for a few months of lessons and you get some free public skate passes included. This is a great perk if you can make their public skate work in your schedule. Most of the times are during the workday and school day, there are not many weekend sessions available. (See photo of January 2026 calendar). Not ideal for a working family. My biggest issue with Reno Ice and the reason for four stars is that the communication is not good. They rarely answer the phone when you call, and if they do, it's likely the employee won't know the answer to your questions. The skate lessons are very challenging and confusing to sign up for and no one is really able to help you or explain it to you. Most front desk attendants are young and they aren't able to help you much if it's outside the realm of handing you rental skates and checking you in. Additionally, we showed up for lessons one night and the rink was completely shut down due to a refrigerant leak. While I realize this is a major emergency, a quick email to families enrolled in lessons would have been great and saved us a drive from Carson City. Don't get me wrong, this is a great place to skate, but there is certainly room for improvement in some areas of running a business. Bundle up, bring the fam, and enjoy a skate session here!

The…read moreoutdoor setting is truly magical, enhanced by live music playing throughout the evening and cozy fire pits surrounding the rink--perfect for warming up between laps. These thoughtful touches create a festive, memorable atmosphere that the whole family loved. The only downside was that the ice wasn't resurfaced during our visit, which left the surface quite choppy and made skating a bit more challenging. Despite that, it didn't detract too much from the fun, and we're already looking forward to returning with the kids soon. Highly recommend for a delightful winter outing!

There are, however, a few downsides: - Parking can be crazy and $$ if it's high ski season (though today I got very lucky and snagged a free spot up close since there's very little snow on the mountains) - The rink is not well maintained. The Zamboni comes out so rarely that in all of my years visiting, I've only seen it ONCE. That makes for a choppy, slushy mess of a rink and explains why this place clears out pretty quickly sometimes. Not fun. - There are a LOT of first-time skaters here from tots to adults. (The bigger they are, the harder they fall!) This is not your typical New England hockey rink or even your Midwest mall rink. No amenities exist like the assisted skate thing that kids hold onto while they learn to skate (there would be no room for that anyhow; see next bullet). Expect to get plowed into once or twice. - The rink is REALLY small. Your feet will hurt from making tight turns and avoiding flying ninja turtles (see previous bullet). They don't prescribe a direction to skate, but everyone generally skates counter-clockwise. - There's rarely, if ever, anyone official on the ice. Don't expect to have anyone monitoring skaters or providing first-aid assistance. Welcome to the wild west! The best part is that it's free to skate (skate rentals are extra) and the surrounding area is full of comfy seats near fire pits and overhead heaters. Sometimes there's a live band, which makes for an even better skating experience (otherwise there's not really any music, so I'd advise packing your iPod). You can also enjoy the smells of the surrounding restaurants, coffee shops, and bakeries as you weave around scared adults or conga-line dancing teens. And once you've had your fill of dodging bad skaters all afternoon, just mosey on up to one of the many bars in the village and relax with a beer!

It's not the most up to date place but that is part of the charm, glad they are able to hang in there and hope they are around for another 20+ years!

The SLT Ice Arena is a great place to skate!…read more Our family stopped in for an open skate session and we were warmly greeted right away. The nice lady working got us set up with rental skates for myself and my youngest, who needed the smallest possible skate they make! For kids, its the same admission price whether they need rental skates or not. Under 3 is free. For myself it was $20 but if you have your own skates it would be $16. While they were a bit late in having the ice ready on time, once the Zamboni finished up, the rink was open to the public. It was slow at first and then got pretty busy. They also ended up blocking off one corner of the rink for what looked like a kids hockey lesson. It felt a bit crowded after that. Overall, the ice was good, the prices are fair, and this rink has the longest public skate sessions (about 3 hours!) of the two main ice arenas in the area. My kids and I enjoyed skating here and we will certainly return.

Not only was the deck clerk very hostile and loud she knew nothing about California emotional support animal laws for the state. It was a very embarrassing situation. We have only been to this rink twice around the same time each year. The snack bar was close the vending machine was empty and there was nothing for anyone to eat or drink during a free public skate.

It was a beautiful with all the lights, more people but plenty of space still. Lots of space to sit down, and shopping surroundings! Parking for a minimal price, close public restrooms and steps from the ski lift.

Recommend getting there 15 minutes before skate time starts to get ticket and skates to allow you the maximum amount of time to skate. First 20 minutes of the skating session were the best as it wasn't overly crowded. Cons: TOO CROWDED! Small rink, packed with too many people. It would help if they implemented a limit of tickets sold for an allotted time of skating. They don't have skating aids / props to help beginners learn, but definitely don't have the space for it either. Lots of people using the rails on the perimeter of the rink to learn to skate.
