Hull Ice Arena

A reasonable ice area for the area with an Olympic sized area and lots of seating. Staff seem friendly here and seen happy to help with anything. Pleased to see birthday parties are available here too. Only issue here is the building is definitely starting to show its age with a slightly dirty exterior which may influence whether people decide to come in or not, and you would think considering the prices, such as having to pay to reserve one of the push along skater things like the penguins and stuff you would think they are earning a good enough profit to keep the building more tidy, other than that though we had a great time.

Loved it clean tidy. Bit tight at gates to sit and circulation apace. But staff kind supportive. Ice good smooth quality. Some rinks trust me it's rutted at the start. This is nice boots hire good condition and sharp .

I had a lovely time skating with my daughter however the 1 star rating is the conditions of the arena, the place needs a huge facelift, it was tired and worn (which can not be helped maybe unless the council put some money into it) but it stunk (which can be helped) and the ice was awful. It needed clearing with the machine before the public skate, it makes it really difficult to skate on, it was all churned up. They did the machine after our session but I think it’s because there was a hockey game, but honestly I think it’s disgusting when they charge £14pp more then 200 people there, enough money to use the machine before a public session.

I can only describe it as a teenagers playground with no adult supervision! This was half term so kids were being dropped off and basically left. Lots of swearing, kids sat around on their phones and just silly behaviour. That being said there were some families, including myself and children, all trying to navigate the ice around screaming, giggling kids falling over or creating long lines holding hands so no one can get around them. The coffee machine would not accept any coins but the cafe opened at noon. Reception were not bothered when I told them about the coffee machine. No selection for anyone with allergies or dietary needs. The girl serving was pleasant but again it was run by young girls, in the cafe, in the skate booth and another watching the ice. You can hire equipment for the younger or less experienced children. I honestly think we may just have picked a bad day/time. We will go again as my child enjoyed it. 10am until 2pm, one adult, one child with skate hire £17.60. Oh and if you use a locker (20p) and forget something, like I did, it swallows your 20p and you have to put another in! Car park is reimbursed.
