Q: What is more cost effective real ice or synthetic ice?
A: Real ice will be more expensive for a smaller rink all the way around. For smaller rinks (less than 3000 sq ft) we highly recommend the use of synthetic ice. For one day, weekend or any event less than 1 month, synthetic ice is the most cost effective ice skating rink.
For larger rinks, upfront synthetic may be more expensive, but over the duration of the rink rental can be more cost effective. This takes into account the cost of maintenance staff, electric and water usage.
Q: Do you rent for a one day event?
A: Yes we do! We highly recommend synthetic ice for a one day event.
Q: How long does it take to install an ice rink?
A: For synthetic ice it will only take a matter of hours to install, and disassemble. For real ice it takes a minimum of 3 days up to a week to install, and up to a week, possibly up to 2 weeks depending on outdoor temperature.
Q: What do you provide with your rentals?
A: We can provide a full turnkey operation with ice, rental skates, maintenance equipment, skate sharpeners, etc. We can also provide you with management and operations staff to operate the rink. We can also rent just the ice, just the skates, just a skate sharpener, or just a zamboni. You tell us your needs and we provide great solutions for your ice rink.
Q: Do you provide management services?
A: We provide a variety of management services. These include management of year round, full service ice arenas, to seasonal ice rinks and short term ice rinks.
