We took the kids ice skating here about a week and a half ago and had a wonderful time overall. 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!

I love this little free rink! I've been coming here for several years now and enjoy the outdoor…read moreskating in the heart of the Northstar village. 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!

"Community skate rink" appears to mean you already know how the website works and what to do when you arrive. For everyone else, the site lacks info, the mobile schedule is a joke, and there are zero check-in instructions. We arrived early for the 4-5pm public skate and spent half of it in line for skate rentals. Multiple staff, one register, glacial pace. Same line for walk-ups and online reservations, making planning ahead feel symbolic. They take your shoes, the skate hour ends at 5:00pm on the dot, and we left at 4:55 to avoid yet another slow line just to get them back. If you like skating, waiting, and mild confusion, this might be your place.

The desk employee went from bleacher to bleacher yelling who has an animal here. I stood up and said I do and it's an emotional support animal and I have my papers with me. 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. Will not return ..

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.

Once the decision was made I emailed the company immediately and requested a refund since the wedding event was 18 months away, knowing I had already signed a contact and I did review their cancellation policy (my reason did not fall under their cancellation policy). I was informed that I would only be reimbursed 20% of a $1675 deposit! I was in shock! I then contacted the company again, and the owner, Ken A., made a decision to give me a full refund. How amazing is that!! I 100% support our local business in the Reno area, and if the venue hasn't been changed I would have loved to have them DJ the wedding. I would like to pass the word on that Amplified Entertainment and the owner, Ken, are truly amazing!! Thank you again.

Wow! This was SO MUCH FUN!…read more We arrived right at opening, we were the only ones here, the two staff members were so friendly and encouraging. The ice rink was well maintained, and clean. They even covered the rink with shade in the middle of the day which helped with the sun. If you buy a pass you can use it all day so we came back in the evening. 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.
