The Greensboro Ice House packs an array of frozen fun at the Triad’s only year-round, ice skating rink. Conveniently located near the Wendover Avenue exit off of 1-40, the Ice House offers an experience as unique as your family!
Public skating sessions are the perfect outing for families, groups (discounts available) or couples looking for a one of a kind activity. Bundle up for a totally distinct way to chill with family and friends by enjoying extended weekend public skating hours.
Capture the cool by gliding into the Learn to Skate program for the young (classes start at 4 years old) to young at heart! A team of top-notch skating professionals offer figure skating and hockey lessons, which encourage the development of foundational skills for recreational or competitive skating. Weekly Learn to Skate classes include skate rental and offer participants a free public skate admission with each lesson in order to promote practice outside of class!
Skaters graduating from “learn to” classes transition into competitive figure skating or youth and adult hockey leagues.
Youth hockey offers a recreational, in-house track as well as competitive travel teams through the Greensboro Youth Hockey Association (“GYHA”) under the direction of USA Hockey. GYHA is home of the 2013 16U National Champion!
Advanced figure skating opportunities for children and adults are available through private lessons conducted by a staff of highly credentialed and seasoned coaches. Skaters train to test and compete both locally and nationally on behalf of Summit Figure Skating Club, the local affiliate of US Figure Skating. Summit skaters include Regional Champions, Sectional and Junior National competitors!
Adult hockey includes 35 teams in 7 divisions ranging from entry level to competitive, running games 7 days a week. Quarterly tournament play, along with charity matches, highlight league play.
Your neighborhood ice skating rink is one of the area’s most popular birthday party venues. Your little ice princess or hockey star will be a trendsetter with these fun-filled, action packed parties complete with hostesses taking care of every last detail!
Camp Chillin’ is the rink’s resident summer day camp offering hockey and figure skating tracts for children ages 5 and up. Campers enjoy a daily skating lesson, off-ice activities, snacks and lunch. Camp Chillin’ is currently directed by a Nationally Board Certified educator with 20 years of teaching experience!
