The Ford Ice Center is a place for all things hockey and ice! If you or your child are interested in learning to ice skate, play hockey or watch some local teams compete, this is the place for you. Here are some of the amazing programs offered at the Ford Ice Center.
- Public Skate: The Ice Center offers several times per week for public skate. Children 2 and under are free. Ages 3-10 are $6.50, Adults are $7.50 and skate rental is $3. My family tried out the public skate and even though I’m not very talented on the ice, we had so much fun! The rink has stacks of buckets to use to help the little skaters (and the moms like me!) Public Skate would make for a unique date night, group activity or family fun day. Take a peek at the schedule here to find a time to try it out!
