## About

As the official practice facility of the NHL Columbus Blue Jackets, OhioHealth Chiller Dublin provides year-round, pristine indoor ice for family skating throughout the chilly winter months. Spanning dual NHL-regulation ice sheets, the Dublin facility hosts weekly family public skate sessions with upbeat, family-friendly pop tunes and colorful overhead rink lighting. To help first-timers and little toddlers find their ice legs, sturdy bucket-style skate trainers and upright gliding walkers are available for rent, providing steady support so youngsters can glide with confidence. Parents can join the ice or watch comfortably from the heated viewing bleachers and glass-enclosed spectator lobbies. The concession counter serves hot cocoa, warm soft pretzels, and rinkside snacks, making it an ideal weekend winter escape from freezing wind or grey weather.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Completely barrier-free single-level building with wide rubber-matted corridors and ramped transitions leading straight to rink gates.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Heated viewing lobby with plush bench seating, carpeted party rooms, and spacious family restrooms equipped with infant changing stations.
• Age Suitability: Welcoming all ages from toddlers taking their first strides with push walkers to seasoned youth skaters and teens.
• Sensory Tips: Cool, crisp indoor air (around 55°F, dress in layers); music is energetic but kept at family-safe volumes; weekday afternoon sessions offer smaller crowds.
