Gold Coast Ice Skating

Must Do Experiences

• Glide across the ice during the dedicated 9am to 11am morning session to start your day with a frosty thrill.

• Grab a penguin skating aide to help the little ones (from 3 years old) find their balance and gain confidence on the ice.

• Take a break from the rink and hang out in the interactive Chill Zone, perfectly designed to keep teenagers entertained.

Hidden Gems

• Arrive about 15 minutes before your session begins to ensure you get the perfect fit for your included skates and helmet without rushing.

• Wear thick, long socks to prevent blisters and keep your toes warm, even if it is a scorching summer day outside.

• While the kids skate, parents can enjoy a hot coffee from the nearby resort cafes to stay cozy in the chilly environment.

What Makes it Special

• It is one of the only fully indoor ice skating rinks located right in the heart of sunny Surfers Paradise.

• The experience is completely hassle-free with both skate and helmet hire included in your session.

• It provides a perfect all-weather solution, offering an icy escape from the intense Queensland heat or a fun refuge during tropical downpours.

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The 9am to 11am session is highly recommended as it allows you to beat the midday crowds and start your morning with an energizing activity. It is also the perfect destination during the peak heat of summer or on rainy days when outdoor beach plans are put on hold.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Capture the joy of your little ones using the penguin skating aides for an adorable, action-packed holiday photo.

• Lighting inside the rink can be varied, so use a fast shutter speed on your smartphone or camera to avoid blurry shots of people gliding by.

• Keep your camera or phone secure in a zipped pocket when you are actually skating to prevent accidental drops on the hard ice.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Australians value a friendly and laid-back atmosphere, so always be mindful of other skaters and practice good rink etiquette by skating in the designated direction. If you see someone take a tumble, a quick check to see if they are okay is a common courtesy appreciated by locals.
