Rating steady at 4.3 stars with consistent feedback patterns. 18 new reviews this season.

I coordinated with the manager of the rink to plan a large ice skating party. He was fantastic - patiently answering all of my emails in extensive detail and helping me make sure everything ran smoothly. He was highly professional and great to work with! It was a great venue for a kids ice skating party.

Sarah Leffler

We absolutely loved our experience at this rink so much so that we bought a season pass for the rest of the season. The team here is so helpful and friendly, beautiful well kept rink, and in a great location with lots of nearby (paid) parking. We love it here thank you!

Michelle Rosenberg

Great ice skating! Very friendly staff and nice-sized ice rink. Took off one star because their rental skates are very uncomfortable. My daughter said they hurt her ankles so badly she couldn't even skate in them and we ended up switching to hockey skates. Definitely bring your own skates if you have any.

Katja Thomas

Great ice skating facility featuring the largest outdoor rink in Northern Virginia. Located near shops and restaurants, it provides a convenient location; however, when we visited, it was crowded and uneven, and the rental skates were uncomfortable.
