The disco sessions are the best. I have seen more people at the Ice Rink during evening disco dessions. Dubai Ice Rink has great special events.
Tina S says
It is amazing to think that you can go ice skating in the middle of a shopping mall in the desert, but this is Dubai. My son had a great time and penguin was an excellent idea for a novice skater.
Jade says
The kids enjoyed it here. Prices were pretty good, especially for the kids (only the equivalent of about £5). They even got these penguin things to help them keep their balance.
