My family and I have been going to this ice rink for a couple of years now and we love it. I have lived in LA all my life and when we go I feel like we are in a different State. If your kids have never been on an ice rink don’t think that they can’t do it, my kids took to the ice like if they had been skating 4ever.
my family and i go ice skating every year and it is awsome. the first time my daughter skatd she took to it like she was eating cake. it was so easy for her and se was so happy. now i take her every year.
