The Ultimate School
Excursion

Our Snow & Ice package lets you experience the best of both Ice Skating & Snow Play. We’ve combined our two best Public Programs with Schools, OSHC, and Community Groups in mind.

Ice Skating

A fun, social activity where students of all skill levels can practice basic techniques like skating forwards, backwards, gliding, or trying tricks like slaloms and swizzles.

Snow Play

An interactive experience featuring real snow, props, and games. Students can build snowmen, race sleds, play with snowball makers, and participate in snowball fights.

Ice Hockey

A structured "Learn to Play" session led by qualified coaches. With no prior experience needed, students learn basic skating, puck control, and teamwork. We supply all safety gear, to take out the fear in falling over.

Safety

Your safety is our first priority when you come to The Ice Arena, we want everyone to leave with a good experience of their time with us. We aim to minimise risks by maintaining the venue and facilities as best we can, The Ice Arena is over 40 years old after all, as many of our Adelaide locals will know.

With any sport or form of exercise, there are inherent risks, and it is a condition of entry that students, teachers and volunteers follow all directions from our experienced staff. We recommend for every 10 children that 1 teacher or supervisor accompanies on the on-ice activities. You’re also welcome to approach our staff for advice and tips too. We love this place and we want you to love it too so we’re more than happy to help with skating advice.
