Can i reserve seating in advance?
For smaller parties and gatherings, we have the option to reserve the 2 covered picnic tables located just outside the rink entrance. The area will be reserved and roped off ahead of time, providing a more private area to enjoy your own food & non-alcoholic beverages, and for setting up decorations!
(For safety reasons, helium balloons are not allowed inside the rink but can be attached to the picnic tables out front.)
The tables will seat 12-16 adults comfortably but the space provided is good for up to 25 skaters! Time slots will align with our open skate sessions and require a 2-hour minimum to book. All other tables located around 2nd & PCH are free to the public and available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
**PLEASE NOTE** we cannot guarantee availability before or after your session for setting up and breaking down. Please be respectful of our other skaters and guests and have the area cleaned up by the end of your session time.
