“The BEST ice rink in the city in fact, voted Best of Philly 2024. Come by the rink for public sessions, college hockey, join adult league, and even host a party in a party room. Special skates at least once a month. Can't be beat. ...and the staff, the most knowledgeable in the industry.”

“Overall: This rink is on Penn's campus and was originally built approximately 50 years ago to support a D1 men's hockey team, which lasted a little less than 10 years before the university cut it due to fiscal troubles. Thankfully, the rink still exists today and it happens to be the only rink that's close to Center City and is easily accessible with public transportation, unlike literally every other year-round rink”

“Had a good time, nice and big. Even with a lot of people there, didnu2019t feel too crowded. Recommend leaving to return your skates 5-10 minutes early to avoid the huge lines. Thereu2019s a parking lot if you wanted to drive there.”
