Rink is reasonable and rather quiet when we went, but session times for public skate are awful on most days. Note Thursday evening times are wrong on their website at the time of posting, session finishes much earlier than advertised. Also it's very expensive compared with Deeside. Also factor in the bridge fee if you happen to live on that side. None of the food and drink places round the rink were open. No WiFi.

I haven’t been skating for over 30 years and it was my partner’s first time. We took our nine-year-old daughter who was a complete novice and we had a great time. The people there are so friendly and helpful and I don’t just mean the staff. I mean the community on the ice Obviously we’re all beginners and there were people there to help and guide us. What a great place to skate. We have got the book and we are definitely coming back. Thank you everybody for making our visit so welcoming.

They now serving Budvar on draft and that is a step in the right direction ( it was Carling previously ) More craft and Bett quality beers are required especially during the games

Widnes ice rink is a great day out with friends or family. You can take your own boots or hire boots through your booking. The rink also provides a balance penguins for kids unstable on the ice at an extra cost. There is a cafe onsite that provides snacks, hot and cold food and drinks but doesn’t provide a lot of seating space to sit and enjoy it. I’ve found on each of our visits there is never anywhere to just sit and rest between skating. Toilet facilities are good and plenty of them.

At first it was amazing i had took my two daughters age 12,13 they had enjoyed themselves however my poor autistic daughter had her polar bear RIPPED out her hands by a ‘worker’ (that i found out later he was no in any way related to the rink and was a complete stranger) yes a grown man snatched my daughters dear polar bear. SHE WAS LEFT DISTRAUGHT. she then tried to skate back and fell and DISLOCATED her knee my poor girl!!! when telling the workers this they were a bunch of wet lettuce and didn’t even speak to the man my other daughter had gotten a hot chocolate and scorched her self on the cup!!! as they had spilled it everywhere, lovely place highly recommend take them kids to have a great safe and fun time,💘💘
