We live close to the Fairfax Ice Rink so were not expecting too much of a difference, but we were impressed as soon as we pulled up into the parking lot. The lobby is expansive with lots of space to walk around, sit down, and put on your skates. The girls at the front desk were SO friendly and helpful -- even volunteering to help us lug in our snow penguins from the rental area to the ice rink when they realized we were outnumbered by little kiddos There is a dedicated hockey rink as well as an Olympic sized rink that we utilized for public skate. My sister did not partake in skating, but was able to watch on the stands. Everything was well maintained and I saw tons of staff cleaning, supervising, and just overall doing an amazing job the whole time I was there. Seriously, color me impressed.

Sick of it and after years of gently suggesting some possible alternatives, like use your many hours of dead ice for just lessons, and allow mid level and beginner players to have the entire ice and you might actually get more of us to come out. Segregate small kids on one side and adults on the other with no lessons if you want to mix ages.

During different times, you may have to pay to rent the roller skates. It wasn't too busy during this time which I am grateful for. They played good music and would sometimes dim the lights to project some fun disco lights. My friend ordered medium fries (about $4) and got a cup of ice water (about 50 cents). The fries were aight. It came with a cup of ketchup. Nothing special but a nice treat.

Really fun experience, especially with the chilly weather, which for some reason compels people to…read morego outside and do such wintry activities even though they'll have to bundle up, lest they catch a cold or such. In all seriousness, it's a decent-sized skating rink with cute snowflake lighting above and nice surrounding shops and eateries, such as TJ Maxx, DSW, and Basic Burger. Actually, it's on the smaller end, but I think there's a limit to the number of people that can be out there at once, since we were given stickers to display while we were in the ice, and these stickers had a time at which our reservation expired (I think). My bros, my bro's gf, and I had a blast going 'round and 'round, initially holding onto the rails (at least my bro's gf and I had to), before acclimating and being able to skate closer to the middle of the rink. We made reservations on the phone about a day prior, and were tended to and able to get our skates immediately when we got there. They have these standing training wheels that you can skate with (some look like penguins). I don't really know how to describe them or what to call them besides that. Anyway, my bro's gf was more gradual with gaining her balance on the ice, and she thought it was unfair that only little kids were allowed to be able to use these training equipment. I noted a few skate guards on the ice; good to know there are individuals out there presumably to ensure skaters' safe leisure. After skating for about an hour or so, we enjoyed some hot chocolate and ice cream (never too cold!) at Mimi's ice cream parlor just outside the rink.

Color me impressed!…read more My four-year old recently finished a beginner course with Fairfax Ice Arena and now has the confidence to try to run away from me on the rink during a busy public skate session Honestly, I had no idea what to expect because my daughter is so small but our instructor Melinda was absolutely awesome with keeping our little ones safe, engaged, and learning on the ice! She knew everyone's name and was able to keep track of a bunch of toddler/early elementary old crazies which she deserves a gold medal for in itself. We would definitely join in on another session with her in the future. The prices of the lessons were really affordable and they also included several public skate admission/rentals so the kiddos could practice their skills which made the package a great value. My only suggestion is more formal information via email on what to expect before the first class so we as parents can prepare better.

There's also often a Groupon for 2 for the price of 1. I also really enjoy the music they play - it's got me moving to the music as I skate. I know it's not as new as some places but I like the convenient location and I like that I almost always see a friend there since lots of people go to this arena.

Forgot to take pictures of the pickleball courts, but came here for a work event…read more It's a good-sized venue where you can find pickleball courts, a skating rink, and more. Honestly, it's a good spot to host anything from a friend's hangout to a large party. However, I have qualms about coming here again. The work event was a pickleball tournament. Although the space itself is clean, it gets so hot indoors - regardless what activity that you do. Furthermore, we got food catered, and it wasn't the best quality. Although you don't come here for food and drinks, I would recommend other places for that. If you can deal with the heat indoors and want to do a fun activity in DC, I would recommend going here.
