## About

Situated in the heart of Summerlin across from Downtown Summerlin, City National Arena is the official practice facility and community home of the NHL Vegas Golden Knights. The state-of-the-art 146,000-square-foot ice sports facility houses two NHL-sized ice sheets: the Summerlin Hospital Rink and the Ghost Energy Rink. During the winter, families can participate in popular open public skating sessions, Lil' Knights introductory youth development clinics, and stick-and-puck sessions. Fans and families can also watch the Vegas Golden Knights practice for free from the arena bleachers on select mornings. The facility features The Arsenal team store, skate rentals starting at toddler sizes, and the second-floor MacKenzie River Pizza Grill, which provides warm indoor seating and elevated views over both sheets of ice.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Spacious ground-floor concourses, wide automatic doors, and elevator access to the second-floor viewing deck and restaurant accommodate strollers effortlessly.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Comfortable leather armchairs in the lobby and spacious booth seating in MacKenzie River Pizza; clean, fully ADA-accessible family restrooms with changing stations.
• Age Suitability: Welcoming to children and adults of all skill levels; youth clinics cater to ages 4 to 12.
• Sensory Tips: Arena temperature hovers around 55°F; family sessions feature moderate background music, while team practice days can feature loud puck thuds and enthusiastic cheering crowds.
