Wondering where to go ice skating in Singapore? There’s only one ice skating rink left in country where you can lace up the skate and hit the ice – Kallang Ice World at Leisure Park Kallang!
With the closing of JCube’s ice skating rink, we found another place to go ice skating in Singapore! So, with that we went to Kallang to go ice skating and it was our first visit to Kallang Ice World.
Ice Skating in Singapore: Review of Kallang Ice World
Like others who wished to go ice skating in Singapore, we made our way the mall in Kallang to hit the cold surface of the ice skating rink.
We were greeted by a queue of students at the ticketing counter but found there were two self ticketing kiosks nearby that we could make ticket bookings at, including skates and glove rentals.
In fact we were encouraged to make bookings at the kiosk since only visitor tickets could be purchased at the counter.
First Up: Renting Ice-Skates at Kallang Ice World to Go Ice Skating in Singapore
The girls were terribly excited but we still needed to make sure we collected our skates and gloves before we could go ice skating in Singapore.
Just a reminder to make sure to hold on to your receipts (don’t lose them!) for entry into Kallang Ice World, for glove collection from the staff at the door and for skate collection once inside.
Once we had collected our gear, we got down quickly to putting them on.
We had to help the girls tighten their laces since it was a little hard for them to do it by themselves. Then they were off on their icy adventure.
Skating Aides for Newbies
It was my niece’s first-time ice skating so it was nice she could use the skating walker/trainer for free.
Alternatively, if you are new to ice skating in Singapore for the first time, you could also rent the seal as an aid to help you find your footing. The rental prices can be found at the end of the article.
My sister-in-law helped us look after our belongings but there were also lockers available for rental to place your valuables.
For non-skaters, you can wait at the Kallang Ice World viewing gallery and watch on.
Next – Going Ice Skating in Singapore
It was generally a bit more crowded with students since we were there on a Monday afternoon at the fourth slot.
Hence, I felt it could get a little stressful to learn to ice skate with many other people clinging on to the sides.
We were also puzzled to see huge puddles of water on the rink which made it a tad more slippery for beginners too.
As mentioned earlier, do note that beginners have the option to rent a “support seal” for more support, or just rely on the free metal bars (limited in quantity).
Children can even sit on the seal while parents and caregivers push them around the rink for a cool ride.
On the whole, ice skating at Kallang Ice World was a fun experience for us all exploring a different ice skating rink and practising laps around the rink.
We felt that the ice rink was generally well-maintained despite the age of Kallang Ice World.
It was nice to know that there were toilets beside the skating rink and even a vending machine.
We were happy with our experience going ice skating in Singapore at Leisure Park Kallang. It was a fun and interesting activity that took us out of our usual comfort zone and gave us plenty to talk about after!
