It was okay

It was okay for what you paid. They could improve by getting newer skates, my group found that ours were quite beat up after what looked like years of use. Additionally getting a larger playlist, we were there for about an hour where we heard the same song from Adele play three times. Finally, stricter enforcement, there was this one 'experienced' skater who appeared to enjoy skating really fast and close to people- almost knocking them over. Apart from those three issues it was good.

Hanmer ice skating

We went last year and this year... the rink was way too packed this year...it was boarderline dangerous. It was just too small a space to have 50 odd people on. Maybe do a limit? Safe number for the rink size
