👍👍 Sessions on the ice go on for an hour, so if your an infrequent skater, it will feel like almost too much time! Since it's an indoor ice-rink, it gets very chilly so wrap up warm, even if it's summer. The ice is very spacious. I would recommend not going into the last session as the ice is very scra...

    Sessions on the ice go on for an hour, so if your an infrequent skater, it will feel like almost too much time! Since it's an indoor ice-rink, it gets very chilly so wrap up warm, even if it's summer. The ice is very spacious. I would recommend not going into the last session as the ice is very scratched up by then. The booking doesn't include skate rentals (+£2.50) you can use card. Also bring an extra £1 for lockers. Other than the lockers, you can be cashless.

    Great facility, and much needed by Cambridge. The rink has really nice ice. Staff are friendly and helpful. Plenty of space around the ice, and good seating for those watching. The cafe serves hot food, and provides a warm environment for parents etc to watch. Food prices aren't the cheapest, but seem fairly reasonable.

    Quite a nice ice skating arena. They provide lockers as well (no coin required) for storing your stuff.

    Modern, fun and a fantastic place to go as a couple or together with families. Nice seating and cafe for those on the peripheries as mere spectators. The ice arena is a good size, for those with children, they provide apparatus as adaptive aids, however the children need to be under a meter. There are Marshall’s or wardens on the ice arena who are there to help in case a need arises. The sessions are for a good time period and we were there for almost 45 mins which was more then enough time to have a great time. Finally, value for money!

    First time skating for my wife and kids, second time for me. I'm still no good at it but they were great. The ice rink is chilly (as you might expect!) but it was a really good morning out!

    A fun way to spend a few hours doing something a little bit different. Being a new facility the ice skates available for hire were in excellent condition. Booking was very easy but it's a shame that you have to bring print outs of your booking with you since nowadays, a lot of people sent have printers at home. Nice to see that they are cashless as it's forward thinking. Lockers are available for £1 deposit which is essential; sooner they make them cashless, the better. Overall a brilliant facility I would recommend to friends and family.

    Really good experience at Cambridge Ice Rink. Tickets booked in advance online (not on the app which is apparently not great). All staff were really friendly (especially front desk, skate hire and cafe) and happy to help. The rink is really good and hire skates were all in good condition. There is free locker hire right next to the rink and lots of seating if you need a break. The rink side cafe did a good hot chocolate as well. Overall, an excellent set up, with great staff and equipment. Will definitely be back.

    Cambridge Ice Arena is a great place to go ice skating in the city. The rink is well maintained and offers a wide range of skating sessions for all levels of skaters. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the facilities are clean and modern. One of the best things about Cambridge Ice Arena is the wide range of programs and classes available for all ages and abilities. From beginner skating lessons to figure skating and ice hockey, there is something for everyone. The rink also offers special events and themed skating sessions throughout the year, which are always a lot of fun. The location of the rink is convenient, with plenty of parking available and easy access by public transportation. Overall, Cambridge Ice Arena is a fantastic place to skate and have fun in the city. I highly recommend it!

    Amazing place to spend the time. Staff are always smiling and very very polite also full of happy smiling people, what I personally really like it and is also very important. Highly recommend this place to anyone who likes skating and meet new awesome people.

    I booked to go here in September for my daughter’s birthday. Cambridge ice arena cancelled my booking without explanation and without refunding me. I am still awaiting to be refunded £69 and we didn’t even get to go ice skating there. I would not recommend.

    My granddaughter has skating lessons here with James. She loves it. Extremely friendly and very helpful even though they keep forgetting to take my DD.

    Kirsty was amazing. All the staff were particularly welcoming and the ice rink was top. Best ice rink experience I’ve ever had. Make sure you catch the Friday night disco

    Shocking unprofessionalism and dishonesty!! I booked a session for a youth group, had it confirmed, only for it to be cancelled 2 weeks later with just a week's notice before we were due to arrive! Book at your own risk

    Attended a birthday party. Kids enjoyed the ice skating. Staffs are helpful. Toilets are clean. Plenty of parking of course 🤣

    Great experience. We paid £15 each (£12 + £3 skate hire). Rink is large so even when busy it felt fine. There's music playing whilst skate. Lockers free to use, and also some shelving. Plenty of toilets too.
