Public Skating FAQs
Can I drop-in for skating without a reservation?
Yes, you can drop-in for skating sessions without a reservation. Open Skate, Family Skate, Cheap Skates and Parent-Tot Skate are drop-in only.
Do I need to wear a mask indoors? How about when skating?
At this time, masks are not required outdoors or indoors at The Pavilion.
Are the lobby and viewing room open? Where do we put on our skates and/or spectate?
The lobby is open and spectating is allowed.
Are there helmets to borrow? How about skate assists?
Helmets and skate assists are available to use. The Pavilion encourages all skaters to wear a helmet while on skating, especially children. If you have one, please bring your own helmet. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that ice skaters use hockey, bicycle, ski or skateboard helmets. If you want to follow that recommendation, it may be best to look for a helmet certified to the ASTM Skateboard standard, F 1492, or even dual certified to the skateboard and bicycle helmet standards. They have some multi-impact capability and more coverage in the rear than a bike helmet.
Is the Cafe open? Can I bring food and beverages?
The Pavilion Cafe is open for the season with a limited food and beverage menu and Immersion Brewing will be on site for Adult Hockey League and Adult Curling League games. You may bring a full water bottle. Please do not bring food or beverages.

How will weather conditions affect the ice?
