We’ll make every attempt to have the rink open every day. In the case of persistent rain, a heavy snowstorm or warm temperatures, we may have a delayed open or need to close the rink if conditions are unsafe. You may follow us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram for updates on weather delays or closures.
In the event a skate session is cancelled due to weather or any other unforeseen circumstance, patrons will be offered the opportunity to switch their ticket to another skate session or receive a full refund. Patrons will be notified of these cancellations via e-mail and will have 48 hours to reply to switch their ticket to another session. All patrons who haven’t responded after 48 hours will be given a refund.
