It’s practically summer all year long in Miami, which makes high temperatures the perfect excuse to indulge in wintery activities like ice skating. And while most skating rinks are open all year, this quintessential winter activity is perfect for getting into the holiday mood! So get your skates on ASAP and check these out:
1. Kendall Ice Arena
The biggest ice skating rink in Miami, Kendall Ice Arena offers a variety of skating lessons, youth hockey leagues, figure skating classes and public skating sessions all year-round. It’s also the perfect place for kiddos to be for the ultimate birthday party!
Find it at 10355 Hammocks Blvd #4735, Miami, FL 33196.
2. Basement, Miami Beach
Can you get any more Miami than going ice skating inside a nightclub? Perfect for gliding and sliding all year-round, the 2,000-foot-square ice rink at Basement Miami feels a bit like a retro roller blading ring, and we kind of dig it. With its technicolor neon lights and loud music, Basement’s indoor rink puts a lively twist on the wintery activity. Not to mention there’s also a rainbow bowling alley!
Find it at 2901 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140.
3. Scott Rakow Youth Center, Miami Beach
This 12,885 square foot ice skating rink is free for all Miami Beach residents and offers public skating sessions on Mondays from noon to 2 p.m., Fridays from 2 to 4 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 3 to 5 p.m. But the rink is just one of the many attractions at the center. The Scott Rakow Youth Center also offers bowling lanes, a game room, fitness center, an outdoor pool and many more amenities.
Find it at 2700 Sheridan Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140.
4. Pines Ice Arena, Pembroke Pines
Pines Ice may be a 30-or-so minute drive away from Miami but it’s still worth checking out for its fun public skating sessions under neon lights and adult hockey leagues for players of all levels!
Find it at 12425 Taft St, Pembroke Pines, FL 33028.
5. Boca Ice, Boca Raton
We know, Boca Raton is a much farther drive, but this one is especially cool for its bumper cars… on ice! This 73,000 square-foot indoor recreational facility is home to bumper cars that glide on the slippery surface and feature lasers to “shoot opponents.” You can also skate around Boca Ice’s other ice rink or check out their indoor ski slope.
Find it at 900 Peninsula Corp Cir, Boca Raton, FL 33487.
