Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a lovely time skating - especially when it was 36 degrees outside!
The only sour note was the guy working at the skate hire. He was surly at best, grumpy, rude and arrogant. It wasn't a great start to the experience.

Go atleast once a week (if we can) , always have a good laugh and time. Although sometimes the ice rink is too rough for the inexperienced like ourselves. Some of the shoes could do with an update also.

One of the few outdoor pools left in Canberra with lawns to sun yourself on. It's heated but only open during the season. Change rooms could do with renovations but the pool itself is sparkling

We visited today with 5 teens for a birthday outing, travelling over an hour to get there. The first words that come out of the Owners mouth was " your too early, go away and come back at 10am ". The facilities are in a desperate need of a make over, it was like nothing has been done there in 20 + years. The Toilets are an absolute discrace and should be reportrd to the department of health. God knows what you could catch. The kids had fun but that was no thanks to the owner / manager. Your making plenty of money and its time you put some back into the centre.

Beware the Czar of Canberran ice skating. Dare ye not approach him to enquire about session times or suggest he updates the venue's open times online.

The older staff are very grouchy and rude, i dont think ive ever seen a life guard on duty and the grass is full of bindies. Incredibley over priced for the quality of ice and rarely smoothed unless for hockey

Always clean, ice kept pretty smooth. Polite staff, good music to skate to and generally not too crowded to feel safe on the ice. Busier in school holidays, obviously.
Reasonably priced.
