I was here for a hockey tournament and I have to say as far as rinks go, this one is quite nice…read more There are two sheets of ice and you can view games from the lobby area where they have decent seats and some tables. On the main rink, there is stadium seating with plastic seats so your tush doesn't freeze. There is a snack bar, pro shop, ATM, and even a bar where they serve beer! The restrooms are particularly clean compared to other rinks and they don't smell like pee. Drop off area is well designed but parking was challenging during a major event due to lack of spaces and the towering snow piles.

Ok, it's not a new venue and only seats 2,600 or so but, that's what makes it nice. No insane crowds or crazy parking fees. I grew up in Lewiston and remember the Colisee from 30 or 40 years ago and I have to stay it has held up well. Most arenas of that vintage have long ago been bulldozed.

The atmosphere is nice here, there's toilets (porta potties), a snack bar (with alcohol too!), a really good peanut butter cup hot chocolate! Yum! Plenty of seating for parents. Even a fire pit! I think some more fire pits would be nice...social distancing! So my one complaint...no one was enforcing masks. So many people walking around with "drinks" for extended amount of time, with their masks down their chins. I watched kids sit their butts on the area of the picnic tables in front of the snack shack where people eat. Eww. I feel like we'd enjoy this venue so much more if COVID wasn't a thing. Maybe next year!

The best thing about this place is the cheap rental $5, skating is $5/ person, 5 yrs under skate for free. We wanted our daughter to try skating for the first time, so found this place online. Be sure to bundle up as it is cold on the ice. The push bars for beginners are hung by the side of the rink, and its first come first serve, free. They have a basic snack bar, no locker, but plenty of space on the bench to park your shoes and things. Great place to bring your kid for a few hours of indoor fun.

Ever present. Doing the dirty work that makes our great city keep on keepin' on. So, hats off to you, Portland Expo. Thanks for being a really excellent polling place. And for being a great spot for our high schools to play and graduate. We appreciate the Red Claws and the Maine Roller Derby. Sometimes you get boxing or beer festivals, comic or mom and baby expos, home shows or car shows; that's pretty badass how you cater to just about every demographic. And Snoop Dogg? Remember that? Whoa. The point is, in the words of Billy Joel: don't go changing to try and please me; you never let me down before." Everything's changing these days, technology is making things speed up at an insane rate, and everyone's trying to top everyone else. But you do you. It's worked for over a century, and - while your parking can be annoying and your bathrooms not always the cleanest - we're always going to need a place like yours to do the normal things, the every day things, the nitty gritty things.
