If your child dreams of gliding across the ice, this is their chance! During Kids Week, we are offering free 30-minute group skate lessons each morning.
Coaches and Instructors from Team Image Synchronized Skating will teach synchronized skate basics to young skaters. Participation is limited to children 12 and under, and geared for skaters who can skate forward and backwards independently. Skate lessons will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
To participate in this free lesson, book a skate time between 9:30am- 9:50am. Once you arrive at the park, check in at the ticketholders podium, lace up, and meet our coaches by the Bag Check windows. Coaches will assign you a lesson beginning at 9:30am or 10:10am.
*Please note that skate rental is not included. Participants are welcomed to bring their own skates or reserve skate rental online in advanced. All Group Skate Lesson participants must reserve a corresponding skate time.
This class is for intermediate skaters. Beginner skaters (kids must be able to stand alone on the ice) are encouraged to join our free beginner skate lessons on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday during Kids Week.
