Is it real ice?

I went to a rink down by the docks a few years ago. It was called an ice rink but the surface was not ice as I know it (it was more like some type of cold plastic surface) and it was impossible to skate on.

Stinjy · 26-11-2011, 20:45

think I'll start when theres not so many ... get my skill levels back up

It is real ice in Castleknock, yes. Not a great surface but not awful. Arnotts had that fake stuff last year as well and it got terrible reports.

How much does it cost?

**MrJoeSoap** · 26-11-2011, 21:06

It was €12 for adults including skate hire. Not sure about students/kids.

Stinjy · 26-11-2011, 22:46

Also Joe, (i know lots of questions- my bad

) but do you know if you had your own skates would it be cheaper? Because if its staying investing might be a better option if itll get me in cheaper

Not sure on that but the Navan on Ice doesn't seem to have a discount. They did do lessons, I'd do them if they become available in Castleknock.

No discount for having your own skates. I have been and have my own pair, and was told there wasn't.

There are skating lessons every Saturday and Sunday as far as I know, not sure how much etc. There are also lessons in Dundrum if anyone interested.
I think there is a Facebook page for the coach in Castleknock - search Dublin Ice Skating Club

skatermom · 27-11-2011, 11:23

Just to add, it's the same coaches in Castleknock that were in Navan.
