This was my first visit to Chilled Ponds since their renovation. I gave 4 stars because the price went up to $15 for 7 yrs and up includes skate rental. None of us needed skates but they are included in the price. I do not like paying for skates I don't need. After I paid they offered another in my party a military discount I didn't even know about. As a disabled veteran it bugs me to not be offered a discount a retiree spouse is offered. Ask everyone or post it someplace.
Ok so the entire place looks nicer. It is now an up to date icerink. The ice however was still crappy. The ice where the zamboni goes has always had a big dip and messed up ice and it still does. I did not see any skate guards on the ice. They did have us all get off to clean the ice and that was nice.
Overall the experience was pretty good. I wasn't unhappy. We all had a good time. We will go back for sure, even though it is the only ice rink in the area. read more
