    This isn't your average ice skating rink. Atlanta Ice Forum used to be the home skating rink of the Atlanta Thrashers, no longer a hockey team in Georgia, so the skating rink itself is quite nice for the public to enjoy. Coming here with family and friends has always been a pleasant experience. The arcade games inside the lobby is a nice plus since it is reminiscent of old school arcade games and the kids seem to enjoy them a lot. My kids enjoy the ambiance of this skating rink and I am glad this ice skating rink is here since it promotes active living and a healthy lifestyle. The skate rentals are pretty beat up but they are relatively in good shape compared to some other ice skating rinks I've been to. They have snacks and food that you can purchase but I have never eaten there so I can't attest to the quality of the food. The skating rink is generally never overly crowded although it can get a bit crowded at peak times with high schoolers. Overall, it's a nice place to skate and bring your family to. So head on over to Atlanta Ice Forum when you are in the mood for some good ol ice skating fun. 4 stars and 1 and a half thumbs up for Atlanta IceForum!

    I can see why a lot of people rate this place 2 or 3 stars, especially if they're an ice skating, figure skating, or hockey enthusiast. I am none of those and have only been to the Duluth Ice Forum for their public skating sessions, when the rink is not reserved for another activity. When compared to seasonal, more "touristy" (not sure if that's the appropriate word to use here) ice skating rinks around town, like the ones at Centennial Park and Park Tavern, the Ice Forum is way better because it's much bigger and the ice is well-maintained. The Ice Forum is a practice facility for the Gwinnett Gladiators and was previously used by the Atlanta Thrashers. There are two rinks inside the facility and they are both regulation size. It's immediately apparent as soon as you step on the ice, how much slicker it is at the Ice Forum when compared to the rinks at the parks. Whereas the park ice rinks have all sorts of groove marks in them, the ice at the Ice Forum is regularly resurfaced by a Zamboni (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_resurfacer). That difference alone makes the Ice Forum superior to the other places. In my experience, rental ice skates, no matter where they're from, do not fit comfortably. In comparison to other rinks, the skates at the Ice Forum "fit" the best. My feet and ankles were not as sore after skating in them when compared to the skates at the other rinks. As Amanda D. pointed out in her review, the Ice Forum does not carry half sizes, so you may not find the perfect fit. Skate rental is $3 and admission to the ice rink is $7. The public sessions last 1.5 to 2.5 hours and a schedule of the days and times of the sessions can be found on the Ice Forum's web site (http://www.iceforum.com/Page.asp?n=23040&snid=jIJF%5B7D7X&org=iceforum.com). $10 for two hours of ice skating is not bad. The ice rink is indoors, well-lit, and there is a DJ that plays music during the public sessions. When you want to take a break, you can sit on the bleachers or go into the cafe where they have food and drink for you to purchase. A lot of parents like to hang out in this area. The times I've been, the Ice Forum has never been too crowded, which is a good thing.

    "Saturday Night's Alright" For some reason, I heard Elton in my head when I walked into the Ice Forum. Don't ask me why . . . maybe it was just kind of the retro feeling of the place, the old kind of roller skate/ice skate birthday party kind of smell-and-feel of the place . . .who knows. Anyway, last night was a totally cool (ha, no pun intended, since ice was involved!) kind of night. My good friend's boyfriend plays in an amateur league and they had a game up at the Ice Forum. She needed a wing woman, and I have decided to branch out and try things out of my normal routine this year, so I found myself OTP and having quite a good time watching grown men gliding around the rink battling it out quite handily, while we caught up on gossip and enjoyed a few cocktails! We put in our time on the bleachers - note: it is very chilly rinkside so take extra layers if you plan to stay down there very long - and then enjoyed the bulk of the game from our birdseye view up in the bar/grill. While we got some side-eyes as we walked in - let's just say that Buckhead girls like us didn't really, um, blend seamlessly right away - we made friends with staff and other fans and enjoyed a lovely night. I didn't grow up with hockey, but I do enjoy watching it. And the boys were happy since the tying/losing team (ours) still got a "free pitcher-and-a-half-ish" of beer, so we all got to hang out for awhile amicably after the game. The bartender even makes a pretty tasty lemon drop martini, according to my friend. We can both vouch for their tasty fries. Apparently, there IS fun to be had in Duluth, after all!!

    Lobby with lots of room to put your skates on

    We came here as a family yesterday and really enjoyed our time here. I have been to this rink in the winter and it was overly crowded, this time it is the summer (yesterday) and the rink was not busy at all. The kids had lots of room to skate around, no one was bumping into them or skating rudely (which was what we encountered this past winter). They played family friendly music, the price was manageable $8, and everyone had a good time. A tip for the parents, there is a bar upstairs that has really good food, not like bar food, and it overlooks the private ice rink so you can watch hockey practice or whatever is going on at the time.

    Been skating here for a few now and I thoroughly enjoy it. They take good care of the ice here and it's fun to catch some hockey games too.

There was also a DJ that got there around 5 and he was great too! He was willing to play songs that we suggested even though he had his own mix to play. They also played tag a few times and a couple of employees hopped into the game too, it was great! The staff were also very interactive with the kids.

Just a heads up, you have to pay admission and show rental separately, but they have a lot of events and deals. For me and my siblings, it totaled to about $44.

We looked up different places and Have An Ice Day had the best online presence, and was geographically attractive for all parties in attendance. Conveniently located in downtown Sugar Hill, we had no issues finding parking and making the short walk over to the ice skating area. We waited in a very short line and were able to make payment and immediately obtain our ice skates. We didn't have to travel far to swap our feet out of our shoes for the ice skates, and we were steps away from the rink. There was plenty of seating all around for those who would rather watch than brave the ice. The area was clean and hand sanitizer was strategically placed and never far away. The rink itself was well kept and easy to glide across. There were many families and all were grooving to the music. When we needed to take a well deserved break, we decided to order snacks from the concession area. The snacks were affordable and the folks were very friendly. We stayed for several hours and while there were many people there, we felt it was never overcrowded. When we finally finished, we returned our skates and headed up the stairs in the amphitheater area of downtown Sugar Hill to grab dinner. We made lots of memories and took plenty of great pictures. We hope to go back next year!

So recommend arriving late afternoon if possible on the weekend! On site, they have a concession stand in which the kids enjoyed the hot chocolate to warm up! They also had nachos, chips,etc. The rink is well maintained and smooth, which I appreciate! The staff took 30min break removing all skaters while they maintained the rink and we were able to return after. Staff was attentive and skated around to help those that fell! Only dislike is the the skate trainers they offer which was metal, low and not too supportive for my little one! We'll definitely be back! Had a great time!
