The Experience

You need to change into the skates to enter the rink. Once you have changed, some skating rinks have lockers or coat room facilities in which you can leave your personal belongings. If it’s your first time ice skating, take some time to get used to the slippery surface and balance yourself by holding the railings around the rink. Try to go with someone who has already done ice skating so they can help you out. Once you master the technique, the rink is your oyster for as long as you want. The longer you skate, the better you will get at it, so don’t give up after the first few falls!
