Devon Ice Rink

The only reason I give it 2 stars is because I don’t understand the point of making a reservation. I had a group of 20 and we scheduled a reservation a week in advanced and I told them that we would be getting there right at the time we scheduled and they said that would be fine. But then when we got there I told them who we were and they confirmed our reservation then very rudely told us to go to the back of the line. Like what’s even the point of wasting my time to call and make a reservation?! And then two people in the group decided to just get in on a twenty dollar bill well they let the one who gave the money to them in but it took ten minutes for us to explain that he was indeed a part of our group. I understand that they probably should have just paid separately but the workers didn’t have to make it so complicated. After that they wouldn’t give those two people the right size in skates the acted like they didn’t even hear them and would purposely give them the wrong skates. They didn’t even us change for our money. Service was awful. The group did have fun, but the service was horrible.

The first time we went here was for a birthday party. My kids are 7,8, and 11 and they were all hooked. We went back 3 times after the party and the kids had a blast every time. Employees were always friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend taking going here!

This was my very first time ice skating and I thought it was more difficult than roller blading. It took a bit of time before I got used to it. The ice felt a bit rough on the outer edges of the rink, which made it scary the first time I stepped in. There wasn’t too much people when I went so it was easier to practice. The rink does feel a bit small, but I haven’t been to any other rink so I can’t compare just yet. The price is $ 12 which includes skate or $ 10 with your own skates. The military discount is $ 8. Some lessons that I learned for next time is:
— Dress really warm! (Hat, gloves, etc)
— Wear thick socks (my toes were freezing numb)
— No lockers for shoes (just a heads up)
— Parking was a bit hard to find
— Have Fun!

I’m only giving a 3 star because it’s Oklahoma City and we don’t have much competition. In any other city this would probably score lower (2 stars)
I really like the idea of outside skating rink downtown. It’s a beautiful area and my kids enjoyed it.
We went on Saturday afternoon and it was $ 10 a person. They did have a special skate all night till 8am and skate with hockey players this visit. but we didn’t stay for it.
They have a café and little hot dog and hot cocoa stand. They ran out of hot dogs so we ended up eating elsewhere.
There was about 30 – 40 people mostly kids and high schoolers and some parents.
The skate rink is a bit small. Reminds me of little ones you find in malls etc.
Skates provided are the thick hockey type skates not figure skates and hurt all of our ankles from chaffing.
The rink was melting and there was a lot of water so people were slipping and falling in the water and getting really wet.
There’s no lockers so shoes and belongings aren’t safe and you will have to skate with your purse and phones.
Overall kids lasted about an hour before it became a bit redundant and they were ready to do something new. They did offer we can come back anytime till 8 am with our wristbands and skate more without paying again. We chose not to. As an adult I wouldn’t chose to come here with friends or on a date night. ;(

I love this concept: outdoor rink with close bathrooms, indoor pop-​up shops and a place to get warm drinks. However, this rink is pretty small and crowded, which wouldn’t be a big deal except they didn’t bring the Zamboni out the whole time we were there and the rink was nearly impossible to skate on in spots. It was not smooth at all and the parts that were smooth were watery and VERY slick.
Despite all the bad, we had an amazing time. It was my daughter’s first time ice skating and she had a blast. Also, it is $ 10 per person which includes ice skates and I feel this is a very reasonable price. It is fun to be downtown and ice skating in a nice area, especially outdoors. We will most likely be back but hopefully they will decide to use the Zamboni more often. I think that would make it better for everyone.

I’ve been ice skating off and on for the past decade and have been to many ice rinks. So I’m gonna cut this place some slack since it’s not a permanent location but I thought the rink was small. There were way too many people and this rink wasn’t suitable for a large crowd. The ice was extremely uneven! I asked a staff member how often they brought the Zamboni out and he said every 2 hours. Yikes! That’s not often enough considering the amount of people that were skating and scraping at the surface of the ice.
If you don’t know how to ice skate, this is not a good place to start learning. The surface of the ice is very rough. The small size of the rink causes many people to gather closely together so you end up bumping into lots of people. Lockers are not available to store your personal items so shoes are left all over the place. I had to skate with my purse which was not too comfortable.
I’ll have to admit that the downtown area is gorgeous! The Devon tower stands directly behind the skating rink surrounded by thousands of lights. There is a small cart that sells coffee, hot cocoa, cupcakes, and snacks. Bathrooms are also readily available nearby. The price is cheap: $ 10 will admit you and includes skate rental and you can skate for as long as you want!

Last winter I visited the new ice rink, and literally had tears in my eyes at the progress OKC has made with its downtown. The Myriad Gardens paths, landscape, and overall ambiance was inviting, and the burst of light on the eastern side of the Gardens screamed «come play!» The rink was perfectly placed in front of the Devon tower becoming the little ant under its massive shadow. Obviously you’ll be freezing cold when you go. That’s kinda how it all works. It’s medium sized so don’t expect a massive ice rink. The bathrooms are super clean, nice and warm if you need to warm up a bit, and the shoes are easy to skate in. Go play, my friends!

The Devon Ice Rink provided a nice escape from the black Friday madness! For only $ 10, I was able to ice skate and enjoy the Devon energy center and Myriad Gardens’ Christmas lights. Hours vary depending on the day of the week and holiday (s). Thank you Devon for offering family fun holiday events!
