Northland Ice Skating Center Public Skating & Youth Classes

About this adventure

Northland Ice Skating Center in Evendale has served as Cincinnati's dedicated home for year-round indoor ice sports for more than five decades. Featuring a regulation NHL-sized ice arena, the center offers frequent afternoon and weekend public skating sessions where families can escape freezing wind while enjoying pristine, temperature-controlled ice. Beginning skaters can utilize lightweight aluminum walker aids that glide smoothly across the surface, giving toddlers and cautious first-timers the confidence to stride independently. The facility also runs recognized Learn to Skate USA youth curriculums on Saturday mornings, teaching fundamentals through playful games. A heated lobby with glass viewing windows lets parents watch the rink in warmth, and the full-service snack bar serves soft pretzels, hot cocoa, and classic rink refreshments.
