Safety on the Ice: We want everyone to feel confident and safe while skating. Helmets are required all skaters of all ages, regardless of ability. Skaters over the age of 14 may choose to wear an Ice Halo or Forcefield Headband instead of a helmet. Read more on our FAQ.
You’re welcome to bring your own helmet, or borrow one of ours for free. And don’t worry, during busy weekend and evening sessions, there’s always a friendly staff member on the ice to lend a hand.
