There are 2 rinks at Cairns, so it's pretty big. The seating areas are really cold...but it is an ice rink. I did notice there are heaters hovering above the bleachers at Cairns Rink #1...but I don't think they were ever turned on. Dress appropriately. Or, you can watch from the viewing area that is heated with benches overlooking the ice on one end. Locker rooms are also decent...which is always a plus. And hey....when a rink has bathrooms with amenities like toilet paper and soap...WINNING! While I didn't have my skates sharpened there, many of my teammates have said that they do a great job.

I have been coming here weekly for skating lessons and think it's a great rink for practicing. The…read moreprice for free skate is also right.

Honestly, I don't really know what criteria to judge an arena on. I've been to this one for some Roller Derby games and that's always a good time, so that's pretty much the basis of this review.

Overall, it's very clean with decent ice and good sized locker rooms. The benches (on the ice) are a little odd....very short seats and there's a fairly significant gap between the floor and the door to head out to the ice. Don't get your skate (or foot!) caught in there. Definitely a design flaw. Still...it's a nice rink with plenty of parking on school grounds.

Nice fun place for Kids to play Roller Skate and Scooter!…read moreThey even has a BMX park as well.

I wish I knew about this place during the winter!!! Of course I learn about this place right when…read morethe weather is getting better but today was a rain day so it was a perfect opportunity to check this spot out. The parking lot was full so people were parking on the street, no problem since it's not downtown or anything. When we walked in there was a waiver on an iPad to enter your personal info, the form was tedious and I noticed people just gave up as did I. Free for kids under 4!! Despite the full parking lot it was orderly inside and everyone was thankfully going in the same direction (counter clockwise) There are some small ramps along the track in the inner loop. My son got a boo boo and they had a box of free and aids. They also have another large room for advanced ramps for the bigger kiddos who are more adventurous. Tip: If you want to ride next to your child, bring some roller blades or a scooter so you can catch up with him but don't forget your helmet (mandatory for kids and adults)

The ice didn't look to be the most maintained (skating could be challenging), but there was such a wonderful crowd embracing winter around here. So if you come here - just be aware you may need to bring your own skates (double check the rental times). You can also bring a snow tube to enjoy some hills in the park after you're done skating!

The ice surface was perfect for an afternoon of skating with people of all ages and skill levels. The music was nice, the trees and benches in the middle provided a great place to rest and to people watch and the beer inside when you're done is only 4,50$. The best part is, the skating is free and there's lots of parking if you need it. Bring your own lock for the locker and come on down. The rink is open until 10pm.
