Palm Beach Ice Works

I’m taking adult beginner classes here and the staff has always been very helpful and nice when answering my questions! The facility is beautiful and clean. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in classes to consider PBIW.

I have no clue how this place received so many positive reviews… could be one of the worst run places I have ever witnessed… waited an hr for skates, 30 mins for chicken tenders, understaffed with kids that don’t know what they are doing… no menu yet serve a boat load of products which they are all out of… complete circus. Stay away!

Excellent location years ago you had to drive to pompano to go ice skating at Gold Coast ice arena… Dwight you would have loved this being so close…

Very nice place. It was a bit stinky when we walked in due to all the hockey equipment they left up front. Took my five year old nephew for the first time and he didn’t enjoy it. He was mostly afraid of falling and still wasn’t up for it when I got him the blue holder. I guess he won’t be a future hockey player.

Great rink. Clean as well. Learn to skate was great but was pressured to take private lessons when my kids could barely skate. Wanted them to make it through the Basic Skills program but they didn’t even recommend that for my kids. Felt like they just wanted my money. Be careful and don’t get lured in to the trap. I saw the writing myself.

Great facility and nice employees. Countless times I’ve left stuff behind and they always find it and hold it for me. If you forget equipment, they’ll try to find something you can borrow. Ryan Sittler runs the hockey program and does a great job.

My girls had a great time attending an 11 year old’s birthday party there. The staff were super friendly and the ice was in great condition for skating. Though there were 40 plus kids and some very beginner adults that couldn’t skate, they were helpful in bringing out the blue skate-​sleds and everyone had a very nice, safe time. The skates were also in really good shape, which I can’t say about other rinks which have been around for years and use nasty funky-​smelling skates. If I could make one comment– it would be to add bathrooms. Only two separate bathrooms with one stall per bathroom: so essentially not enough when you have a large group of people.
Nice and clean; and they even serve wine and hot chocolate in the concession booth!

It’s a new (ish) one-​rink facility, and it’s very nice. The rink is as big as an official hockey rink, if not bigger. We go during the public sessions on the weekends. Right now, there is a session from 6:00 to 8:00 on Saturday nights. They usually draw a nice mix of people of all ages and levels of experience. The ice doesn’t get too chewed up like it does at some rinks, because they keep it cold, hard, well resurfaced, and because the crowds are usually not too large.
There is spectator seating along the boards on one end and along one side of the rink, plus additional seating in balconies on both ends. Bring a jacket if you’re coming to watch. It’s cold in there. There are a few tables, however, in the warmer snack bar area before you enter the actual rink.
Also, I’d like to point out that it’s not like a giant teenage hang-​out. I’ve been to the places where parents dump off kids by the hundreds. As a 53 year-​old, I begin to feel slightly out of place when the next oldest person is 17. But as I’ve said, anyone can feel comfortable at PB Ice Works.
Overall, it’s a very nice place to skate.

I was a fantastic figure skater in my previous life, and I go back for the joy of skating on occasion. I have skated all over the country (regionals, sectionals, junior nationals, and shows) and few facilities can compare to Palm Beach Ice Works. The rink has pretty much everything including an Olympic size sheet of ice, quality sound system, bright lights, WINDOWS, stretching area, gym, locker rooms and plenty of parking. I really enjoy skating here. The hourly rate is a bit high however, you’re paying for the quality of the facility.
Cost aside, the only reason this received 4 stars is because they advertised a Freestyle session from 5:00 — 6:00pm. About 20 minutes into the session, a hockey coach set out a line of cones and cut off about 10 feet of the rink to train a couple of hockey players. Also, a public skater began skating with rental skates about 35 minutes into the session. I understand the club is small and new but they should change their advertising to truly reflect what type of session I am paying for.
