The Ice Arena is a very popular place to hold parties. We offer rentals of a private party room, lobby tables and group rates. Birthday parties are held during our public skating sessions, which are typically two hours in length. Pizza is delivered after the first hour of the public session. You may bring your own birthday cake and ice cream; however, any other outside food is prohibited. Plates, napkins, cups and plastic utensils are available at no extra charge.
