Peaks Ice Arena is a well-maintained and family-friendly facility that offers a variety of skating activities. The arena features at least two skating rinks, though navigating to the second can be confusing. The ice quality can vary; some visitors have experienced very poor ice conditions with rough patches and noise, especially during public skating sessions, while others find the ice to be good on different days. Public skating is popular and reasonably priced, making it a good option for families, date nights, or anyone looking to enjoy ice time. The arena provides clean bathrooms, including facilities for the disabled and baby changing areas. The arena offers skating lessons for kids and adults, with positive feedback on the instructors. One instructor, Arika, was praised for her kindness, communication, and encouragement, helping children improve quickly and pass their lessons on the first try. Another instructor, Sophie, was only present for one class but was well-liked; however, substitutes during other classes lacked experience. Families recommend practicing outside of lessons to help kids progress faster. The facility also hosts hockey programs, including a Start Smart skating program that has shown impressive improvements in children. The staff is generally helpful, responsive, and friendly, although some have noted a harsh instructor in the hockey program. Overall, Peaks Ice Arena is a clean, affordable, and enjoyable place for skating, with a welcoming atmosphere, though ice quality can sometimes be inconsistent.
