The milk crates are awesome because you can stack them to the right height, so kids can skate upright instead of being leaned over with a short pusher. They play music during open skate.

Also, since it was only open for 2 hours and there was no need to zamboni, the ice was quite slippery on the day we went. It was quite cheap to rent skates (entry plus skates = $5) and my friends who take skating lessons here are learning a lot.

A definite throwback and a really good one. We stopped in on a recent Sunday session (1-4 pm)…read more Entrance fee is $10 per person and comes with free skate rentals. Cash only with an ATM on site. The wooden rink floor is quite large and well taken care for. A bevy of games interspersed throughout the day make it fun for all. Solid sound and lighting system. Standard rink food for those that need a bite to eat. A lot of birthday parties being hosted so expect a lot of smaller skaters on the floor. They do have a dress code (no short shorts, tank tops, exposed midriffs, etc so keep that in mind as you suit up for your rollerskating adventure.

I've loved this place for years. I've had both my kids' birthdays there, and that went great…read more Recently though, my daughter enjoys going skating just for fun (and it's great exercise!!) I wasn't aware of the dress code though. I wore a sleeveless shirt because I knew I was going to get hot. They offered a free tshirt to wear to cover up my shoulders. Wore it for most of the time but it just got too darn hot. They stopped me and told me to put on a shirt or leave. Threatened to call the sheriff's office to force me to leave, but there was really no need because I was too offended at the apparent accusation of dressing like a ho. I was not dressed provocatively... just no sleeves. I left early, with all 4 kids I brought and I'm not coming back until the dress code loosens up a little. It says IN GOD WE TRUST on their sign in front. Based, and I'm Christan too. Jesus told me that showing my shoulders is not inappropriate in a family-friendly setting. They lost my business.

There is nothing wrong with the place. It is just soooooo cold. So my tip to you is to dress warm…read more Bundle up, two pairs of socks, a hat, some handwarmers etc.

I've been playing hockey for over 40 years now. (you'd think I would be better after all of those…read moreyears) Over those years I have been in a lot of ice rinks both as a player, coach and fan. As far as local ice rinks or amateur ice rinks, the Sun Prairie Ice Arena is by far and away the best ice rink I have ever been in! We were in town watch my nephew who had a tournament here. My first impression as we arrived at the arena was how nice it looked from the outside. The next thing I said is they have a restaurant?!?! There is a restaurant attached to the arena. What a great idea! As we walked into the arena there is a separate door that leads to the locker rooms. The inside of the arena doesn't disappoint. It is bright and well laid out. There are a couple of TV's, a little pro shop and a snack shop. The area that I really liked is what they called the players lounge. This was in a corner by the windows that had a very comfortable leather sectional. If I could have watched the game from here I probably would have. There are two rinks inside and they are easy to see and marked clearly. The rinks are bright and well lit which is great for the fans and the players. These are also some of the cleanest stands I have seen. We've been to plenty of arena's where there is food and garbage around the stands. These stands were clean and there was some nice heat coming from above that kept the fans plenty warm. There is lots of parking outside as well as stairs and a ramp for handicap or players that roll their bags. As a fan I was unable to get on the ice or locker rooms however my nephew tells me the ice was good as well as the locker rooms. If we lived in the area I would love to come here to skate and hopefully we can come back again. No question the best rink I have ever seen!
