## About

Sports Plus Ohio is one of southwest Ohio's largest premier indoor multi-sport recreation complexes, housing two regulation NHL ice sheets under one massive roof in Evendale. During the winter months, Sports Plus hosts open public skating sessions welcoming families, recreational figure skaters, and youth hockey players of all skill levels. The facility provides sturdy plastic seal and bar skating aids that children can push or sit upon, enabling parents to guide toddlers across the ice safely. Above the rinks, an expansive heated second-story viewing mezzanine allows grandparents and non-skating caregivers to enjoy panoramic views of both ice surfaces in comfortable warmth. An arcade zone and sports cafe serving pizza, chicken tenders, and hot chocolate provide easy meal options for hungry young skaters following their ice session.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Fully accessible facility featuring wide ground-floor corridors, automatic entry doors, smooth rubber matting, and elevator access to the upper viewing deck.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Generous heated seating areas on both levels; large, well-maintained family restrooms equipped with wall-mounted diaper changing units.
• Age Suitability: Fun for children ages 3 and up through teens; beginner skating aids allow youngsters to participate alongside older siblings.
• Sensory Tips: Active, energetic sporting atmosphere with echoing ice sounds; the heated mezzanine offers a quiet, muffled retreat for sensitive children.
