Getting out on the ice and snow provides people of All Abilities in Adelaide with the opportunity to experience something new and unique, improve health and independence, and create new social interactions with their peers.
Our All Abilities Sessions include both Ice Skating and Snow Play. Have a go at skating or play with real snow!
At The Ice ArenA we believe Ice Sports are for Everyone

Skating aids and snow toys are available for FREE to use during sessions. We have regular skate frames and push-along penguins. Our range of toys includes buckets, snowball makers, and taboggans.

Wheelchairs are allowed onto the ice with an accompanying carer or supervisor. Please note there is a small plinth or step at the edge of the ice that wheelchairs will need to be lifted over.
