Public Ice Skating @ Tim Hortons Iceplex

Our public skating schedule runs all year and varies by day and season. Expect more frequent sessions throughout winter, with expanded offerings and multiple sessions per day during holiday breaks. For the most accurate public skating times, hours, and session details, please check our online calendar. Due to popularity, we regularly update the calendar with new sessions whenever possible, so check the schedule more than once it you don’t see a time that fits your schedule.

What to Expect?

Session length: Each session lasts 90 minutes, giving skaters ample time on the ice with room for breaks as needed.
Admission and rentals: Due to high demand in the winter months, we highly recommend purchasing tickets online in advance. Skate rental availability may vary by session, so we recommend arriving early to get outfitted in rental skates. Ice scooters are available to rent upon arrival as well.
Check-in: Arrive 15 to 20 minutes early to check-in, or to purchase admission (if you didn’t buy online), get fitted for rentals (if needed), and lace up.
Atmosphere: Expect a fun, recreational experience suitable for kids, teens, and adults. Music is played during some sessions.
Learn to Skate and Skill Building

If you’re new to skating or returning after a break, public skate sessions offer a low-pressure environment to practice basics like balance, gliding, and stopping.

Interested in improving your skills? We’re proud to offer the area’s most popular learn to skate program, Skating 101, a great starting point for beginners of all ages. If you’re interested in learning to play hockey or figure skate, it’s the first step on the journey to learning either ice sport.

Summary

Public skating (often called public skate or open skate) is a relaxed, all-ages session where anyone can enjoy time on the ice—no experience required. It’s a great way to try indoor ice skating for the first time, practice your stride, or enjoy a family skate together in a comfortable, climate-controlled arena. Sessions are recreational and non-instructional, making them ideal for beginners and casual skaters.
