🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families coming specifically to watch the Hot Ice show - reviewers rate it as outstanding, particularly the Christmas season BIDCA performances. Public skating sessions are shared with training groups using the majority of the rink, which significantly reduces actual skating time.

“Came for BIDCA, our first time and wow, the show was amazing! Organisation was decent and the view at the back was good too. We'd definitely come again! Only issue was that there's no info to be found about bringing in your own snacks or water, so my mum called to ask and was told no, but nobody checked bags and we saw loads bringing in their own, which was a shame as we ended up waiting ages in a queue and spending a fair bit on drinks. Next time we'll just bring our own I think!”
