Press release from the Athens Convention & Visitors Bureau:

2021-11-22

Where is the best place to ice skate in northeast Georgia?

Right here in downtown Athens, at Akins Ford Arena at The Classic Center.

Athens has the largest indoor ice skating rink in the area. It's National Hockey League regulation sized, so there's plenty of room to pull out your best moves (or keep others safe while you still need some practice.)

Here's what you need to know about ice skating in Athens, Georgia:

The indoor rink will be open from November 26, 2021 – January 9, 2022. After the indoor rink is removed for the season, a smaller outdoor rink will be installed for more fun.

Skate sessions are 75 minutes of fun at only $15 per ticket. All tickets include skate rental for the session. Sorry, there is no discount for bringing your own skates. Want to skate regularly all season?
Then grab a season pass for just $125 to enjoy unlimited skate all season!

The Classic Center has gone mobile which makes tickets purchases a breeze!  Because of this, all tickets must be purchased online in advance.  Visit ClassicCenter.com/tickets to reserve your space for the skate session of your choice and your mobile ticket will be emailed directly to your inbox for easy access.  

No problem! All spectators are welcome -  mom, dad, young siblings, grandma, grandpa, anyone!  There is no admission price for onlookers. Simply let the friendly entry staff know you're there to watch and they will direct you to a seating area for observations.

Yep. Adult public skate is open skate available to guests ages 18 and up. 

If you need a little extra glide, rent a plastic blue seal to give you balance and stability. Grab a super-cute seal so even the littlest skaters can have fun on the ice with the rest of the family, or make way for some competitive ice racing as speed skaters push their pals from one end of the rink to the other!
