Ice Skating in HS - Wait times?

[webshark3]

Hey, at least the rentals are good. The rinks around here rent saktes that are pretty much garbage. I actually use figure skates though, so do they only rent hockey skates?

All I know from the photo... Maybe someone else knows if they have figure skates too.

No figure skates available. Only these which I believe are hockey skates.

More of an academic question really as I won't be there for it anyway...but I've never even been on a pair of hockey skates; I wouldn't know what to do with them!

Can you go inside just to look, if you don't want to skate?

Yes. There is also a snow-play area at no cost to guests.

Yeah but they're also much shorter (and faster!). It's funny because it's not like I use the toe-pick that much, though I am trying to learn (or re-learn as I took lessons as a kid, but all the ice rinks around here closed and there wasn't one for like 15 years so I am re-teaching myself when I get the chance). Of course, that tiny and crowded rink would not be the place to practice that! Hockey skates are still a great mystery to me.

Thx for the information & link. Looks like it won't be there when we go, unless they extend the dates.
