TBSA offers frequent recreational public skating sessions set to family-friendly music under bright arena lighting. For young children and beginners taking their first steps on ice, sturdy plastic skate training aids (walkers) provide comforting balance support. The pro shop stocks rental figure and hockey skates down to toddler size 6. When skaters need to warm their hands, the on-site snack bar serves hot cocoa, fresh popcorn, soft pretzels, and pizza slices, with a glass-enclosed spectator lobby for grandparents and non-skating family members. ## Similar picks in Tampa - [Clearwater Ice Arena: Weekend Family Open Skating Sessions](https://grassyknees.com/tampa/activities/clearwater-ice-arena-weekend-family-open-skating-sessions--listing-0907fe2f9ae3dfb4770026f3) — Public skating Friday 7:30 PM–9:30 PM; Saturday 1:00 PM–3:00 PM & 7:00 PM–9:00 PM… · Clearwater Ice Arena · All ages · From $15 · checked Nov 4.
