Top ways to experience Dubai Ice Rink
The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Downtown Dubai
You can’t fail to miss Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. It towers over the city and resides in the prestigious Downtown development. Once an old army base, Downtown is now the jewel in Dubai’s crown, a beautiful residential and leisure area housing not only the world’s tallest building, but the world’s largest fountains and mall. Wide marble sidewalks are perfect for strolling, with restaurants, art galleries and children’s play areas. Specially commissioned sculptures line the roads and Downtown is often used as a canvas for modern art displays and community events such as Classic Car Shows and National Day parades. In the cooler months, cross one of the many bridges to the Burj Khalifa park and enjoy a picnic alongside residents and visitors, or enjoy a lunch or dinner watch the dancing fountains. Because of its mixed use, Downtown is a fantastic place to mix with Dubai residents and locals and watch real life unfold in a cosmopolitan environment.

- JohannaUtrecht, The Netherlands19 contributionsFriendly and Fun!My visits to Dubai Ice Rink have become a cherished part of my weekly routine. I can confidently say that this place deserves every one of its five stars. First and foremost, the coaching staff, particularly Coach Mei and Coach Dennis, deserve a special mention. Their expertise, patience, and passion for teaching have truly elevated my skating skills. Whether it's refining my technique or mastering new moves, they're always there with invaluable guidance and encouragement. Thanks to them, I've not only improved significantly but also developed a deep love for the sport. But it's not just about the lessons. The entire atmosphere at Dubai Ice Rink is welcoming and inclusive. Every member of the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience for visitors. From assisting with equipment to offering friendly advice, their warmth and professionalism make every trip to the rink a delight. Moreover, there's something about this place that feels like home. Perhaps it's the camaraderie among fellow skaters or the sense of community fostered by the staff. Whatever it is, stepping onto the ice here always feels like returning to a familiar, comforting space. Of course, no establishment is perfect, and Dubai Ice Rink is no exception. One minor suggestion for improvement would be to consider adding a second bench inside the female dressing room. It's a small detail, but it could make a big difference in terms of convenience and comfort."Dear johannabu888, Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to leave us a positive review.

Unprofessional coach behavior I was shocked how the coach was unprofessional with my girls I booked a Private session for my 6 years old daughter the trainer was not showing a good welcoming attitude and behavior at all…. I was talking to her and she neglected me and she was not on time for the session the ice rink craw were searching for here and when she come to my girls she was like underestimating my kids capabilities by saying if you don’t know how to walk on the floor you won’t be able to walk on ice am getting my kids to learn am paying for the session to teach the kids not to underestimate my kids capabilities it’s her responsibility to teach them how to walk using the iceskating shoes I was really upset when the service It’s my first and last visit …. On the other hand I would like to thank MR Nabil for the professional behavior I went to him immediately to complain since the first 5 min with the trainer was that rude he was really nice and good showing a very professional understand behavior

It’s not every mall in the world where one can enjoy a spot of ice skating as part of the experience, but that is exactly what is on offer in Dubai Mall.
The rink is well sized, with a fenced off area for the skating academy, plastic penguin supports to help kids with their balance. For 50 dirhams, guests can skate for an hour. There is also a seating area for spectators.

The ice rink is a weekly activity for our family. Some of the staff deserve special mention for their dedication and kindness: Coach Jude, Coach Ajith, Ali, Akhtar and Habib and Theo.
They are always ready with a kind word and simple but needed advice and encouragement for the kids.

Getting out of your house during summer is a hassle, but that shouldn’t stop you from taking
kids out to enjoy some indoor games in Dubai. Ice Skating is an amazing Indoor activity.It’s absolutely okay if you’re not the best skater (especially on ice), there are
skating aid which will help you through the rink. A perfect place for a snowy respite. If you’re just looking for a place to beat the heat with friends and family, Ice Rink at Dubai Mall is definitely a great option. The staff are very friendly and guide you throughout and its an ultimate place to have quality entertainment. The rink is well equipped with beautiful lights which makes the ambiance of this place to an winter zone and also they have artificial snow falling to give u that vibes.

I love Ice skating, simply because I used to roller skate since I was very little and when I was in Montreal – Canada, I was so excited to try the ice skating for the first time, so I put them on to skate for the first time.
For me, it was very easy, I know now to sustain the balance and use the blades for stopping.
It’s a very good idea to try it if you’re planning to visit Dubai since it’s a huge and professional one; one of the key leisure attractions at the Dubai Mall.

Visiting Dubai for the second time to see our daughter my boys aged 10 and 12 both autistic wanted to go ice skating.
The help of the counter staff in sorting out tickets for "people with determination " was excellent.
The gentleman providing the states and safety equipment was also excellent.
The only place where this was actually extremely sub standard was on the ice itself.
The "coaches" seemed more interested in skating round chatting to each other rather than help kids with sunflower lanyards and who clearly needed a bit of support was absolutely disgraceful.
But overall the experience was good and my boys both loved ice skating for the first time

The place is big enough for the kids to have fun and a family outgoing, perfect for the summer or hot temperatures.
Public sessions 10 am are not busy and cheaper. Kids can learn with the penguin or dolphin ride on.
Bring jackets and warm clothes, it is fun and well locate it in Dubai Mall.
