You’ve fed the monkeys at the zoo, learned to swim at the local pool and tried out the swings at the park and now you can lace up your skates at the National Ice Centre!

If you’re looking for a new activity to enjoy with your little ones, then why not try one of our Capital One Parent and Toddler ice skating sessions at the NIC.
