In Icicle Club, youngsters enjoy open ice accompanied by a parent or guardian.

This class is designed to acquaint your little one with the rink and establish the foundation for a lifelong love of skating! While we do have a coach on the ice to assist parents/guardians and help facilitate the good times, this class is unstructured so that your toddler may spend their open ice time as they please.

While helmets are required for toddlers, skates are not a requirement of participants, or their parent/guardian. Sometimes starting your toddler on the ice in their boots or sneakers is a good way to ease into skating.

For late registrations, the fee will automatically prorate at checkout so you’re not paying for past classes.
