South Tahoe Ice Arena

Ski runs were mostly shut down with the high winds, so we all decided to go ice skating. Great rentals, ice was well manicured, staff was very accommodating and professional. We will be back!

Great lil spot and excellent for the whole family. Go there every time we are in Tahoe.

Went there over last weekend for a Tourney and had a great time, Rink was super clean and the staff and GM were very helpful. I have never been there before so it was great to get help from a local. Tourney Director needs some help with things. I guess the rink sells ice to the club there and the club runs the tourney. Rink is settled in the woods and is real cool. They had small fire pits outside and had the local club selling stuff at the firepits, bought a snack there. They also had a couple cold beers on tap which is like a nhl game. I liked you could watch the game from the snack bar and have some food and watch your player play in the game. Cant wait for next year. Tshirts were real cool neon yellow my twin boys loved them.

Never again!!! I am writing Norcal hockey to boycott this ice arena. Went to a Mites tournament. To maximize the rinks profit, they split the ice into three separate games. Notwithstanding the commotion, stray pucks, and whistles from three separate games (six separate teams-​all playing at once), as a parent/​spectator, there is no room to stand, or even breathe for that matter while trying to watch a game. I intend to report this situation to the fire department for clear maximum capacity safety violations. To further maximize their profits, they set up T-​shirt and sweatshirt stations and desks all throughout the lobby, further compounding the crowding issue. The building was so crowded, that several parents actually went outside in the freezing cold of night and built bonfires just to get out of stuffy sardine packed lobby. And don’t even think about being able to park your car without driving around aimlessly for 30 minutes hoping that somebody might leave. The games themselves were terrible, as the kids had such little space to play; the whole time they were all bunched up like a Battle rumble free-​for-​all, rather than a wholesome and fun hockey game. To the manager: I hope maximizing your profits was worth it…

First time in Tahoe with a group of friends and weren’t really sure what to do in the evening so we planned to go ice skating. Came here at a good time because it wasn’t busy. The service was quick when paying and getting our skates.
I really liked this place because the music was loud and catchy. Can’t go wrong with catchy music while ice skating! As the night went on, it got slightly crowded, but after an hour of ice skating, we were tired. When returning our skates, didn’t see anyone at the counter anymore so just left our skates and got going.

Went there on a recent new year’s trip. Much better deal than the rink at Heavenly. Larger rink and not nearly as crowded. Free helmets available to borrow. Come and go all day for one price. The skate rentals are included but they are really uncomfortable. We had a great time with my young children without worrying as much that they would be knocked over by someone.

My kids learned how to skate here 5 years ago and now they are hockey players and figure skaters in our home area. I am so pleased with the ongoing service and amenities here. It has newer ownership and they are doing a great job with community outreach and tournaments. Our hockey team comes here to participate in their MLK tournament annually and it is run very well. We hare very happy with this ice rink and find that is one of the best run in NORCAL.

Great fun at a great price! Great customer service. Took the family and it is great with kids. Next time we are up here we will be sure to stop by!

From catering to birthday parties to before and after school ice skating classes, my kids always have a blast here! Awesome teachers and friendly staff and a huge ice arena. I’ve even encountered professionals skating/​training here. There’s plenty of space for me to sit and watch as well as a cafeteria style area that you can eat and watch the skaters. My boys are taking ice hockey classes and I’m amazed at how quick they’ve learned!

Great time watching my grandkids at their ice hockey practice — snack bar awesome — Staff is awesome! Ice is perfectly maintained also, great afternoon.

Spent 3 weeks at the facility this July. What a great setting and location. Facility is one of the cleanest rinks in California. Lockerooms are good size, showers are clean with ample hot water. There is a well equipped snack bar with adult beverages on tap. Opportunity for training of competitive hockey players is amazing. Ice is fantastic and the view is something novels are written about. Training at high level, clean air and clean water makes even better. The staff where all amazing and provided a safe, friendly professional environment for my kids to develop and have a great vacation as well. Beach is just a short walk away and so are some 1^st class restaurants. Highly recommend anyone on vacation or locals to utilize the facility, it is a gem and we are coming back for a week in November.

The Ice Arena is a hidden treasure in South Lake Tahoe. I recently started playing in the men’s ice hockey league. It’s changed my life. I love it! What a cool way to exercise and meet new people. Check the online scheduled as there are skates and activities for all abilities and ages.
Go Grey Skulls!

We love this place!!!
Best place to go do ice training and always will! friendly staff place is very clean.
My family comes a long way to do training at Tahoe Ice Arena and i’ve recommend it to all our friends from Las Vegas, So Cal, Nor Cal list can go on. We check in on Facebook, twitter, instagram to help promote this place.
KEEP YOU THE GREAT WORK GUYS!!!

Where else can you come when it’s 100 degrees in Reno?
This place!
It’s only an hours drive from Reno and well worth it to beat the heat. They rent out hockey skates or figure skating skates. I found the hockey ones to be just a bit more comfortable for my wide feet. Once I got them all laced up I was out on the ice and… looking quite a bit like Bambi. While I don’t have Thumpers finesse on the ice I still had a good time going around and trying to improve my form.
While I love the chill of the air in a rink I would suggest most people bring at least a hoodie, gloves, and ear muffs with them to stay warm. Also, a good thick pair of socks will make the rental skates a bit more comfortable while keeping your toes warm too!
The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They worked hard to make sure we had a good experience and I appreciated that immensely. I will return soon to improve my form and just try to keep up with my speedy ice skater wife!

Cool as ice!
What an amazing venue to have only an hours drive from my house.
I discovered this place while searching for a place to sharpen my skills (and skates) for a hockey tournament. I hadn’t played in 10 years so I was looking for some ice time without jumping into a game.
I found this arena and the perfect answer for my needs — stick time. Offered a few times a week it allows ice time (in full dress or just a helmet, gloves and a stick) to shoot around and skate in full gear. I came by for my first session and the gentleman working was immediately friendly and welcoming. The locker rooms were open and the ice was perfect.
I came back several weekends in a row before the tournament — each time parking was easy and the employees were kind. The last visit I arrived a tad later than normal and found all the locker rooms occupied by men. I spoke to the gentleman who was working and he offered me the referee changing area so that I could dress alone. That was greatly appreciated.
I was so impressed with the facility and the staff that after the tournament I took my wife and several friends up for a free skate session.
The ice is always crisp and fresh. The facility is clean and well appointed. Parking is ample both along the main road and in several small lots shared by the surrounding facilities.
From former olympian to bambi on ice this place is for you!
Drop by, lace up your skates and take a spin on the ice while you view the trees out the window.

I love love love that there is a spot that you can sit out that’s outside of the ice area!!! They even have seats with a great big window that you can sit and enjoy watching the kids skate while I can stay warm!!! The huge windows in the ice rink are beautiful, I can only imagine what it looks like with snow out.
We’re visiting Tahoe from Riverside CA. and I had to get my daughters practice in while on VaCa.
Same prices here as at home. 15 for free skate and ice skates.

Incredible place to ice skate! One of the best places I’ve ever been to to skate. The ice was pretty disappointing today but overall my experience here was amazing. The service was great and the people working really want to make sure your time here is one to remember

I was here for an adult hockey camp back in 2005, and this rink had the best ice quality of any I’ve ever skated on (probably helped by it’s high elevation). Hopefully it’s still as good now as it was back then.
The beautiful view of the pine trees through the big picture window is also a terrific feature of this rink.

Awesome place to skate! We were hanging out by the bustling heavenly resort wondering if we should jump into the rink to skate a little. Though the ambience was great, it was quiet windy since it was outdoors and we figured we wouldn’t be able to spend a lot of time in the rink. So we looked up the next closest place and landed up at south Tahoe arena. It is indoors and much bigger with fewer people, which gave us a lot of freedom to practice. Very affordable too with just $ 15pp including rentals.
If you’re a beginner learning to skate or an expert looking for room to just practice, do check it out.

Husband and I came here on a Thursday right when it opened up to public skate. Only complaint is that we wish they would have ran the Zamboni prior to our skate but it was fine.
We don’t ice skate much so I don’t know how the price compares but it was worth it to us. Clean facility, nice gentleman at the counter, played good music, and most importantly we had fun.
Will come back and do recommend
