Better than many years ago with the improvements. Plexi has been replaced so easier to see through. New seating upstairs. No one manning snack bar; maybe people at front desk doing double duty. read more

Chiller Ice Facilities - Skating Rinks Near Me - Dublin, Ohio

This chiller facilities has definitely come a long way from a few years ago. The facility is now well lit, the restrooms are clean, and they have a great snack selection. The locker room board is now easily read and the lockers rooms are nicely setup. The staff here is also super friendly and they can handle large crowds nicely. I would definitely recommend this chiller for some open skate or booking a birthday party. read more

Chiller Ice Facilities - Upgrades - Skating Rinks Near Me - Dublin, Ohio

This is a great place to play hockey! They have a viewing area upstairs between the two rinks which is awesome. You have a great view of the games except for the pillars. They do have bleachers for spectators, but only in rink 1 which is a bit disappointing. The facility itself is bright and clean and the people who work here are friendly. The rink is located just down the road form multiple places to eat which is convenient for teams that travel here from out of state. read more

Chiller Ice Facilities - Blue Jackets vs Indianapolis Jr Fuel - Skating Rinks Near Me - Dublin, Ohio

I have been taking my kid for last 3 section to Chillers Dublin. I don't see much improvement or progress in his skating skills. They have few good teachers but most hardly care if your child is really making any progress or not. Most teachers at Chillers Dublin won't even put any efforts its disappointing. read more

The Columbus Chillers are a great place for hockey if you're looking to get into an adult league or just starting out. The leagues range from beginner to an Adult B league for the most advanced. Even though the Dublin Chiller is the oldest of the Columbus ice rinks, it's still well-maintained and is a great facility. It no longer has the Pro Shop it once did (these are still at every other Chiller), but they are still able to sharpen skates, and even better, they can do some repair on skates as well. When my rivets broke on my skates, they were able to replace them for me within 45 minutes of me getting onto the ice for a game. The place has a great staff, who are all very friendly, and with the whole SportsOhio complex surrounding it, it's a great place to hang out and have fun for the day. read more

Chiller Ice Facilities - Skating Rinks Near Me - Dublin, Ohio

We went for a Saturday public skate (1:30-5 pm) and it was a blast! We perfected our triple axels and quads...jk. The staff was super friendly and the experience was a bit pricey for us, but fun for a one time date. $8 for public skate and $3 skate rental. Awesome facility, very clean, and very popular/busy. read more

Other then finding a full blown turd on one of the toilet seats, it wasn't a bad experience.

I hate winter. Among the top marks against it is the biting cold that coops me up when I so want to get out and exercise. No more walking the cityscape, no more visiting parks, no more riding my bikes at least until late March. So what is there to do in these dismal, gray months for a body starved for the endorphins of aerobic exercise? A couple years ago I found the answer--ice skating. I come here a couple times a month when old fart winter is being a jerk. I've also done the Easton location but this one is closer to me. They have a few times a week when skating is open to the public. The noon skates are the best value at $4 plus retail skates if you need it. Friday Night Meltdown is the most popular event, and the most expensive at $10 includes skates. I like day time openings as it is less busy, for I am not the most graceful person on ice. ( truth be told, my skating would better be described as a loooong slip.) Now these are not regular hours; check the website for scheduling. This place is mainly for hockey where high school's match up, and amateur adult leagues drop the pucks. So public skates are scheduled around the games. They also have skate classes for those who don't want to learn the hard way. The rink is well maintained and large; music is played, general pop disco and dance tunes are the usual choices. The skates attract a nice variety of skill sets from novice to mastery, and age groups from children to elderly. Ice skating also makes a great date night; I have always gotten "I had a great night" text after an ice skating date. It is the endorphins. Being active is always a primo courting idea. If you are an active person with the winter blues, this is the place to come. read more

As a whole the Chillers are the best hockey experience I've ever had. For comparison I've played in 5 different leagues in 2 states. The facilities are clean, and in good repair. The games start on time and and schedules are adhered to with a minimal amount of changes. I have some issues with individual ref's (but who doesn't). The Dublin rink is the oldest of the Chillers (Easton, Powell, and Icehaus - I've never been to the 'new' Worthington rink). It's my least favorite of the four, but it's still a nice facility. Plenty of parking, good ice. The locker rooms could be a bit larger. read more

This is our sons second session of ice skating lessons. The instructors are professional and patient with the kids. My only complaint is that are too nice and didn't force the kids to start at parent/child skate to learn the basics. read more

(Dublin resident) Family has been going to the chiller for years. Tonight was the 2nd time our children's safety was put in danger. 2 individuals were skating aggressive towards little kids and women. Literarily knocking them over and harassing kids..staff had every intention of helping but the individuals physically indicated the staff so nothing was done. Be VERY careful when bringing ur family here and make sure to be on alert. I normally don't write reviews to this effect but would want someone to make me aware read more

Took my 5 year old daughter and my best friend to skate because neither of them had ever ice skated before. It was so packed. We went on a Saturday from 1:30-3:30 for the public skate. It wasn't as clean as the other facilities but I think we can attribute that to the huge rush. Upon arrival we were helped immediately by smiling specialist who appeared to love their line of work. One of the kind women is actually a coach and saw how nervous my little one was. She gave age friendly advice on what to do when she hits the ice and reassured her she was going to have fun. She also offered advice for lacing the skates and directed us to the free helmets available for protection. This type of care keeps me coming back! As soon as we got laced up and ready to skate they were actually cleaning the ice which ended up being about a 12 minute break/wait. Once on the ice there were quite a few advanced skaters that didn't use care when passing children holding onto the the wall. This made the experience on the rink a tad bit overwhelming for them because of the rink being completely full, but by the end of the session they were comfortable enough to let go of the wall and skate without assistance thanks to the tips. read more

The OhioHealth Chiller ice rink, part of the Dublin Sports Complex, gets 4-stars from me. Keep in mind I was only a visitor and not a user. I did not visit locker rooms or even bathrooms. What I did was watch a youth hockey game on a Saturday morning, consumed tasty Tim Horton's hot chocolate between 10-minute periods and roam around the place. I liked the elevated center-section where both ice rinks can be viewed from above. I also compliment the music maker for playing some solid rock 'n roll during game breaks. The front desk seems stocked with skates to rent and the place is pretty clean, not spotless, but it is after all a sports complex facility - loads of wear and tear. Location is easy to get to and parking is above average. I may find my way out for an adult skate (taking my life into my own hands as it's been years since hockey skates were strapped on). The OhioHealth Chiller rink in Dublin appears above average. read more

This chiller is a great place to skate. The Friday night meltdowns are fun, it's great to play hockey on, and everyone who works there is really nice. Great place to go if you are bored However, there are a few small problems: They are often behind They won't let you skate moderately fast A few of the workers are really mean Overall, one of the best rinks ever. For the most part, they are nice, the ice is great, it is warm, and is just great overall. read more

This facility needs some attention in regard to their cleanliness, staff, and safety. My fiancé and I attended the Friday night meltdown today and were not impressed with the conditions and protocol of the facility. To begin, the front desk girls were on their phone and not friendly to say the least. We received our skates to find that there was no where to safely store our shoes without paying more money. This also caused a lot of clutter in the common area with other guests shoes all over. It would be much more efficient if they took your shoes behind the counter and gave you the skates in return. This would also help the horrible pile up of dirty skates all over the common area at the end of the skate. When we went to skate we were very surprised at the lack of staff attention while on the ice. This lack of attention resulted in many dangerous accidents where children were intentionally falling and dog piling on top of each other. There were about 10 boys who participated in this activity and the staff did not attend to this behavior. Then, they called to go clockwise. Half of the guests turned and the other half didn't causing many collisions from less experienced skaters. The staff did not make another announcement to make sure everyone knew which was to go. I am overall disappointed. I grew up ice skating and was really hoping to have a good local place to go. read more
