With the opening of the DubaI Ice Rink, Dubai is now able to boast of an International standard, Olympic sized ice rink that attracts large crowds each day.
Using the most advanced technology available, this Ice Rink is maintained through refrigeration plant technology that keeps the ice thickness at a consistent 1.5 inches. This is almost three times that of an NHL ice rink. A monitoring process evaluates the ice formation and thickness and ensures that safety is paramount and that the ice can withstand a wide variety and density of activity.
The Rink itself offers good facilities which include offering top end skates especially flown in from Italy for adults as well as children. Locker facilities are also available for skaters to keep their belongings safe. The rink hosts a number of activities designed to meet the needs and requirements of skaters of all levels and standards. Theme nights such as Disco Night, Figure Skating Lessons, Beginner classes, Hockey Matches and much more take place on a weekly basis.
Apart from this skaters are welcome to come enjoy gliding over the smooth ice and to practice their skills. Spectators too are welcome to sit around the rink and watch the skaters go by or relax at the café whilst enjoying a snack or hot drink. Skaters too may avail themselves of a drink and snack from the counters made available to them during their breaks.
Mindful of the safety of every single person who comes to the rink, the management enforces strict rules regarding discipline and conduct when on the rink. Visitors are cautioned not to wear long trailing scarves or coats when skating, not to carry babies or young children whilst skating, not to skate if alcohol or drugs have been consumed, not to skate whilst eating or spill any drink or food on the ice, to be mindful of others on the ice and not to carry any bags – lockers have been provided for this reason – etc. This ensures absolute safety and enjoyable fun for everyone no matter how old they may be.
Travelers hoping to visit Dubai should look out for Dubai hotel offers made available from time to time. For convenience and luxury a Dubai airport hotel such as the prestigious Millennium Airport Hotel Dubai would be ideal.
