The guy who sharpened my skates was top notch, and a great conversationalist. The rink is classic, and the ice was great, even for a fall skate.

Had a fun two hours here during public skating. Be sure to check up the rinks that are open for…read morepublic skating; we were restricted to the smaller rink and with the large crowds of people it could be a bit difficult to navigate at times. Also, since it was only open for 2 hours and there was no need to zamboni, the ice was quite slippery on the day we went. It was quite cheap to rent skates (entry plus skates = $5) and my friends who take skating lessons here are learning a lot.

The facility itself isn't in very good shape, but the woman who runs the leagues, Andrea Chafee, is…read moretruly top-notch. She goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone has a good time, even making phone calls when she's on vacation to make sure that teams have substitutes when they need them. 3 vs. 3 hockey on the small studio rink is a blast, although i wish they'd do more to balance the teams sometimes.

The facility itself is great. Lots of space. A gymnasium, meeting rooms, a gym, a couple craft rooms, and plenty more I haven't seen yet I'm sure. It's kept clean and is pretty nice. All the staff I've interacted with thus far has been great, super friendly. The class I'm taking is awesome. It's pottery 1 so pretty basic but I am definitely enjoying it and learning a lot! The instructor Todd is fantastic and really great with everyone in our class. Overall, I'm a fan!

I took a Pilates class through MSCR over this past winter that was held here. The best thing about…read morethe class was the studio space we were in: large footprint, high wood-beamed ceilings, simple paper shade lighting, and one corner in all windows that looked out onto the snow every peaceful evening. Oh my. That view was the key to my unwinding every week. This is a gorgeous facility! I would argue it is one of Madison's best kept secrets. I had to purchase an annual pass in order to attend the Pilates class, which was really affordable and allows me access to the cozy, lobby space free games of pool, and I'm not sure what else. They also have a fitness center, which operates under a really reasonable drop in rate and is also gorgeous.

I'm used to ice rinks and am not one to get cold, but it's -6° with a -16° wind chill with no heat. It has been this way all weekend.

I've been playing hockey for over 40 years now. (you'd think I would be better after all of those…read moreyears) Over those years I have been in a lot of ice rinks both as a player, coach and fan. As far as local ice rinks or amateur ice rinks, the Sun Prairie Ice Arena is by far and away the best ice rink I have ever been in! We were in town watch my nephew who had a tournament here. My first impression as we arrived at the arena was how nice it looked from the outside. The next thing I said is they have a restaurant?!?! There is a restaurant attached to the arena. What a great idea! As we walked into the arena there is a separate door that leads to the locker rooms. The inside of the arena doesn't disappoint. It is bright and well laid out. There are a couple of TV's, a little pro shop and a snack shop. The area that I really liked is what they called the players lounge. This was in a corner by the windows that had a very comfortable leather sectional. If I could have watched the game from here I probably would have. There are two rinks inside and they are easy to see and marked clearly. The rinks are bright and well lit which is great for the fans and the players. These are also some of the cleanest stands I have seen. We've been to plenty of arena's where there is food and garbage around the stands. These stands were clean and there was some nice heat coming from above that kept the fans plenty warm. There is lots of parking outside as well as stairs and a ramp for handicap or players that roll their bags. As a fan I was unable to get on the ice or locker rooms however my nephew tells me the ice was good as well as the locker rooms. If we lived in the area I would love to come here to skate and hopefully we can come back again. No question the best rink I have ever seen!

The intimate setting is electric since everyone is so close to the action. When it gets loud it rocks! If this place had AC it would be five stars since those late summer/early fall matches on hot days makes for a sauna-like experience especially if your seats are in the upper reaches of the main seating area or in the upper deck. Other than that it is a fun place to see sports especially given the bargain prices for the volleyball tickets.
