Rental hockey or figure skates run from toddler size 6T to men's 15, and $5 skate helpers are available for true beginners (not for skaters who can already stand and glide unassisted). Through The Ability Center's RampUp program, adaptive ice sleds are free to rent. The last admission is sold 45 minutes before each session ends. Birthday parties are offered during weekend public sessions, and a 10-pack lowers the per-visit price. ## Similar picks in Milwaukee - [Eble Park Ice Arena — Public Ice Skating](https://grassyknees.com/milwaukee/activities/eble-park-ice-arena-public-ice-skating--listing-2f4fd415f170011ae3a664f9) — Public Ice Skating most weekdays noon–1:30 p.m. (e.g. Oct 26–30, Nov 2–3, 2026)… · Eble Park Ice Arena, Brookfield · All ages · From $7 · checked Oct 24.
