Ice Skating in Lakeland, Tampa, + Orlando

Ice Skating during the Christmas Holidays is one of my favorite activities!

The RP Funding Center in Lakeland is not hosting holiday skating this year, however we’ve put together a list of other places in Central Florida where you can lace up your skates and hit the ice for a day of family fun. All of these rinks are “real ice” meaning you’ll be skating on a real sheet of ice, nothing synthetic.

Ice Skating Tips

1. Dress for cold weather! Most indoor rinks average between 40-60 degrees. Pants are good for beginners who might fall often.
2. Wear tall socks so the skates don’t rub your lower legs. Ankle socks or multiple pairs of socks can cause blisters.
3. Many places recommend kids wear a helmet when they are learning. Bring a bicycle helmet with you.
4. Be sure your skates fit and are tied snug to support your ankles.
5. Have fun!

The Lakeland Center is not offering ice skating in 2020. Visit Lakeland Ice Arena for ice skating in Lakeland.
