We welcome all levels of skater down to the ice rink - so anyone can give it a go.

For little ones, we suggest 2 is the age they could start at as they need to fit into skates (the smallest size we have is a childs 7). We have skate aids to help the younger ones balance or to sit on whilst being pushed by a parent, however the little one still must have a ticket and be wearing skates.

We also ask that children under 12 be accompanied by an adult on the ice.

We advise you book online to avoid disappointment. Book online by clicking here. If you do not have access to the internet or would prefer to book at our onsite ticket office you can however please bear in mind we do always sell out on weekends so please plan in advance. Group bookings, parties and all other enquiries please email hello@iceskatebournemouth.co.uk.

Absolutely! Whatever the occasion we want to see you on the ice and taking over the entire rink that is perfectly plausible and possible! This will depend on availability so get booking early! Please email hello@iceskatebournemouth.co.uk for further information.

Course you can - we allow dogs as long as they are kept on the lead. However, those fury friends will not be allowed on site after 18:00 on a Friday and Saturday night.

We will have lockers to store bags and shopping whilst you skate. £1 per Locker.

Please allow plenty of time before your scheduled session start time to arrive and pick up skates. We will have loads of people wanting to get their skates on and off, we advise at least 30 minutes prior to your session start time.

Our ‘sled’ skate aids can be rented out at £5.00 per session. The sled enables a child to sit on it and be pushed by an adult OR it can be pushed by a child and even an adult alone. If you are booking one for a child they must be able to sit up and hold on unaided. Bookable online or on site however availability is limited and is on a first come, first served basis and are only available when booking a child or family ticket.

We are located in Bournemouth Lower Gardens. From Bournemouth Square just head on down through the gardens on the way to the pier and we’re on the immediate left.

The rink is operable in nearly all weather conditions (barring a blizzard) and rain creates better and smoother ice. We are an outdoor attraction operating in winter so you need to think about what you are going to wear. No refunds will be given out due to undesirable weather. If we decide that skating is not suitable then we will offer alternative sessions.

We gave away over 300 free tickets last year just for fun. Keep checking the news feed on this website, follow us on Instagram: skate_bournemouth or like us on Facebook: Ice Skate Bournemouth. Any of those will keep you updated with any ice rink news and competitions. We will be running competitions to give away free ice skating throughout the season.

We have our Christmas inspired Moguls Alpine Bar offering a great range of festive drinks or perfect for grabbing a hot drink. This is where you can either get cosy or support those on the ice from our viewing platform. It is of course free for all to come and access the spectator area and bar.

We have a wide range of skates ranging up to an Adult size 15 available to hire. You are perfectly welcome to bring and dazzle us with your own skates however there is no change to the pricing if you do.

We have the perfect idea for you to give someone this Christmas. We offer various skating vouchers depending on how many people you want to treat this festive season. These can be purchased from our box office or by emailing us at hello@iceskatebournemouth.co.uk.

The rink is certainly wheelchair accessible and are welcome to book on to any skate session. Please bear in mind wheels on an electric wheelchair may not function properly if raining.

What a good idea and we have been thinking about this. At the moment we are struggling to fit it into our busy schedule but we hope to get something sorted. We will have ice Marshalls on the rink at all times to help anyone that does fall over.
