Lifeguard Arena Henderson Family Public Skating & Youth Hockey

About this adventure

Positioned as the centerpiece of Henderson's revitalized historic Water Street District, Lifeguard Arena is the vibrant community ice center and practice facility of the AHL Henderson Silver Knights. This 100,000-square-foot multi-sheet ice arena welcomes families year-round, with peak winter enthusiasm during the hockey and holiday season. Families can join regular weekend public ice skating sessions, take beginner Learn to Skate group lessons, or introduce little ones to the ice using lightweight plastic skating walkers. After skating, families can gather on the expansive outdoor public plaza, which features community gathering spaces and pedestrian promenades, or dine inside at the family-friendly restaurant overlooking the ice sheets. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Barrier-free, step-free design throughout the entrance, broad lobby concourse, bleacher areas, and outdoor pedestrian plaza. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Quiet seating areas in the community meeting rooms and second-floor mezzanine; well-maintained family restrooms equipped with touchless baby changing counters. • Age Suitability: Perfect for all ages, from toddlers (ages 2+) taking their first slides to active teens and recreational adult skaters. • Sensory Tips: Crisp, cool air inside the rink makes sweaters or jackets necessary; public sessions use standard arena lighting with cheerful family-friendly background tunes.
