Apex Center Ice Arena
The Apex Center Ice Arena is a great venue to host your next birthday party.
For groups of less than 35 people, we recommend skating on the regularly scheduled Public Skate, which is hosted on most Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year.
To reserve a room in conjunction with the Public Skate times, please contact Karina Gomez at [email protected]. We recommend reserving a room prior to the Public Skate at 3-4 pm on most Saturdays and Sundays. There are different room options available based on the size of your party, such as the Randall Room, Party Room, and Summit Room. When making a weekend room reservation, you are required to purchase wristbands for your party guests, which include admission and rentals to the Public Skate session and admission to the Apex Center aquatics area.
If you would like a skating lesson geared towards beginner skaters as an add-on to your room rental, we offer private lesson instructors for $30 per half hour who teach students at a maximum ratio of 10:1. If you have more than 10 skaters, we require another instructor to be reserved. Instructors are based on availability.
Groups of 35 or more skaters are required to book their own ice time reservation, as opposed to skating on Public Skate. Private ice rentals are $310/hour plus $4 per person for rental skates. Please contact Liz Scott at [email protected] for more information about birthday parties.
