Here is a quick summary of the booking process and requirements:
Schools
Our Snow & Ice package lets you experience the best of both Ice Skating & Snow Play and Ice Hockey. We’ve combined our two best Public Programs with Schools, OSHC, and Community Groups in mind.
A fun, social activity where students of all skill levels can practice basic techniques like skating forwards, backwards, gliding, or trying tricks like slaloms and swizzles.
An interactive experience featuring real snow, props, and games. Students can build snowmen, race sleds, play with snowball makers, and participate in snowball fights.
A structured "Learn to Play" session led by qualified coaches. With no prior experience needed, students learn basic skating, puck control, and teamwork. We supply all safety gear, to take out the fear in falling over.
Schools & Community Groups can visit The Ice Arena any weekday during School Terms. We have two session times available:
Most schools tend to book for up to 2 hours and we find this is a good amount of time for most kids to enjoy all the different activities and it fits in well with lunch. If you require alternate timing, please email reception@theicearena.com.au.
At te Ice Arena we are able to accommodate all group sizes. You can bring a class or several classes, or split between morning and afternoon sessions and bring multiple year levels.
Private bookings are available for an additional fee upon request.
Your safety is our first priority when you come to The Ice Arena, we want everyone to leave with a good experience of their time with us. We aim to minimise risks by maintaining the venue and facilities as best we can, The Ice Arena is over 45 years old after all, as many of our Adelaide locals will know.
With any sport or form of exercise, there are inherent risks, and it is a condition of entry that students, teachers and volunteers follow all directions from our experienced staff. We recommend for every 10 children that 1 teacher or supervisor accompanies on the on-ice activities. You’re also welcome to approach our staff for advice and tips too. We love this place and we want you to love it too so we’re more than happy to help with skating advice.
Give your students a day they’ll talk about all term. Our school excursions offer a safe, active, and incredibly fun environment for students of all ages and skill levels.
Schools, OSHC & Child Care Services, Council & Youth Groups, Scout & Guide Groups, Sports Clubs, and many more...
Whether they are taking their first steps on the ice or
gliding like pros, it’s an unforgettable active learning experience.
Our structured School Sport Programs run over multiple weeks, offering students a unique way to stay active while developing balance, coordination, and confidence.
