Get on your skates, put on your jumpers and hit the ice.... Whether you're a kid or a big kid, Macquarie Ice Rink is a fun place to spend sometime standing up, swirling around or pulling off some serious moves.... It's open every day except Christmas (slightly ironic I thought) and it' opens everyday from 9 and closes around 10pm.... Prices are fair I thought - with adults costing $23 including skate hire.... The quality of the skates aren't bad....I mean they'll do the job.... but I wouldn't expect to be doing some major olympic pirouettes or anything. If you want the rink to yourself pretty much, may I suggest going during the week whilst kids are at school... its a lot more fun to experiment is no one is looking... Even if you're not a big skater, you can watch people spinning around from the foodcourt - and the view is free - so whether or not you're on the rink at least you will be entertained. read more

Macquarie Ice Rink - Skating Rinks Near Me - North Ryde, NSW

Much bigger and better than the Canterbury ice rink, and definitely gives the latter establishment a run for its money. Clever thinking; catch a movie, go shopping, eat and go ice skating all in the one establishment. Macquarie University students are so spoilt. Also if you need a JP to verify any of your documents; come to this establishment and do all of the above on a Wednesday (and selected Saturday's) if you can. The Macquarie Park train service makes getting here from the city that much quicker and more accessible. If you still wish to catch a bus and enjoy the ride through the Harbour Bridge; then by all means continue to do so if your happy for the journey to take 40-45 minutes to get there; yet Macquarie Centre is more at your doorstep. Great customer service and skates to hire. This rink is massive. Who cares if there is an ice skating group on when you turn up; there is still plenty of space to skate around in circles; and even backwards: fall over and get back up again. Remember the jeans and socks. Have fun. You will see the McDonald's customers looking out. A ton of fun, and an experience in itself. read more

Macquarie Ice Rink - Skating Rinks Near Me - North Ryde, NSW

Took the kids here today with their nanna. They were a little young to skate themselves but I think they liked watching their mum. Nice seating area for nanna and the kids that wasn't too loud. I will definately be taking the kids back once they are older and can skate with mum! read more

Skates on! Ice Skating at Macquarie is my favourite pastime. Located inside the Macquarie mall, it is easily accessible and convenient in so many ways. Parking is never a problem and my partner(refuses to get on skates) doesn't have to baby-sit me as he can leisurely browse the department stores, which equals more skating time for me, guilt-free! Prices are reasonable for skating and include hire charges. Check their lunchtime sessions for special rates. The rink is pretty big and although there are a lot of skaters, a beginner like me, still manages to find space to learn. read more

Macquarie Ice Rink is situated in the middle of the Macquarie Shopping Centre, and is perfectly lovely to look down on from the food court. It is also absolutely enormous. I can't imagine it ever feeling crowded or cramped. The shopping centre itself is quite busy and bustling most days, as is the rink, but not in an overcrowded help-I-can't-breathe kind of way. Sometimes it's nice to lose yourself in a sea of humanity, then hop down to the ice to enjoy some active relaxation (oxymoron? Maybe). The rink is open during the regular business hours of the shopping centre, with some exceptions. It's closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day, for example. read more

It's a good ice rink conveniently located in Macquarie Centre. Good viewing areas and random fun activities (e.g. limbo).

Large and well cared for, but they could use a coffee shop. (The mall is attached, but no outside food allowed in the rink.) They have comfortable seating to watch the ice skaters. Midday it was active but not crowded. read more

Sunday fun day Macquarie park edition lead my housemate and I to ice rink. This is always a fun activity for the young and young at heart.... we strapped on our hired smelly and uncomfortable skates and hit the rink. Skating can be fun for the expert and novice alike but this rink might not be the best place on the weekend for the adult first timer as it's fairly busy and there are kids galore but you will still have fun. The rink clearly caters for lots of kids birthday parties over the weekend. The price is fairly reasonable one hour 18$ or two 24$ which include skates. The convenience of the parking garage and the shops for any not interested family members makes this a great rink to hit up. The ice was fairly cut up when we went which does make it a little harder for beginner skaters but doesn't stop the fun. The place does make you want to sanitize your hands on the way out but I think that's all sports centers. read more

The view looks nice looking at McDonalds area. Unfriendly staff if you want a closer look at the rink, I remember getting a bad comment from staff as if he felt like a bouncer in a bar wannabe. This guy should not even be working without a training in customer relation. Bad memories from this so i wont be their customer for long time read more
