We have been going to the OSU ice rink for many years. The interior is very cozy and small but this makes for great viewing of hockey games. The OSU womens hockey games are typically free and we really enjoy cheering on the lady bucks. Great family experience
Since my youngest was born he has been to more hockey games than I have. HE LOVES HOCKEY! And OSU Ice Rink offers lessons so for the last two years hes been getting on his blades, picking up speed, turning faster and being the largest kid on the ice! Great place for kids to learn to skate and to learn hockey!! Go Bucks! Go Jackets! Go Jacob!
This place is great! The prices are super reasonable, they have great gear to purchase, and the girls hockey games here are fun to watch and go to. I enjoy skating here in my free time.
Small but a nice place to see hockey up close
Great afternoon of watching hockey. The ladies lost but put on a terrific show. I would recommend it for a really fun family outing. You cant beat the price. (Free)
Great experience. Most of all is FREE!!O H I O whoa!! Buckeyes won!
I cant believe the womens ice hockey is free to attend!! Totally awesome entertainment that makes up for having to jaunt over to the next building (separated by only a 20 foot covered walkway) for restrooms.
Great rink. The parking situation is a joke. They hover around and write tickets for 1 min over time or if you mistype you licence plate #. Would be 5 star if they could get it under control.
The instructors for the adult learn to skate program have been awesome. The facility seems well maintained and the open skates are lots of fun!
Nice small ice arena. Concessions and pro shop are great and fairly priced. Nice place to watch the womans team win games too!
I have taken skating corses here for years, the instructors are really nice.
Glad they are back open to the public. Definitely need the ice
Always liked Ice Skating here! Its been here for at least 50 years. Great Place. Good Area. Nice People. // Go Bucks!
Locker rooms are in the basement. Thats not a negative, its old time hockey. Great ice and a historic rink.
What a great place to watch a hockey game. Every seat is a great one and it has easy access in and out.
Great place for the kids to learn and practice ice skating. Attentive instructors and small class sizes with several weekly options for open skating.
The workers are so mean.The vending machine gave me hot water. I do not recommend going to this place.
Great place for hockey and taking the kids. Laid back, bleacher seats, and youre right on the on the ice.
This place is a little run down by OSU standards. But they offer great programs and have open skating times for the public which is nice.
Love the rink here! Limited hours
Run of the mill skate rink. Good for families and couples for the free skate times they have. Unfortunately the open skate times are free and far between.
Love taking the kids here for skate lessons and open skate. Staff is wonderful and very helpful
An old school ice rink, good ice, excellent skate sharpening, with a small pro shop and several snack and drink machines.
Great place to rent the ice and play hockey with your friends!
Open skating hours for students are a deal and great date night idea!
Great place regret havent come more often during my phd years at ohio state
A little over-priced if you ask me, but fun for a night out other than that
Our nephew Played here. It is a really nice ice rink.
An older established Rink. Nice staff, pro shop. Open skating, lessons.

2019-01-26Its a nice venue to watch, Ohio State Womens Ice Hockey. Its a little cold inside and its a smaller building, but overall a good venue.

2022-03-24Got to watch some inexperienced people play hockey. It was great.Update: the open skate here is great. Might be a good idea to bring your own skates though if you can. They dont have a ton of skates to rent. But place is super cheap. Way cheaper than the chiller and better in my opinion. Great time.

2019-03-05We come for the Women’s College Hockey when they have home games. The parking and games are both free! (Unless it’s a playoff game at the end of the season, then it’s $8). Open seating in the bleachers and sometimes the athletic band stops in. All around a great time.

2020-02-22Its nice place to enjoy OSU womens hockey for free on regular season games. Parking free too. If you are lucky, may get a free t-shirt too while cheering for your Buckeyes. Its really good for young hockey players.

2018-03-02We take our daughter to the Columbus Figure Skating Group classes here. We love the atmosphere and how cozy the rink is. Its perfect to come here to watch the Buckeyes play here (free Womens College Hockey). Our daughter loved watching them play and is inspired to become a hockey player now.

2019-11-17Great first pair of skatesI have purchased my first pair of ice skates and they are wonderful! I have improved leagues just from having my own skates. Would definitely recommend getting your own. 1st blade sharpening is free with purchase.However now that Ive gotten more knowledge, they did not heat mould my skates. If they dont offer this or expect you to just know, ask them about it. Maybe they dont offer it, idk. I had them order me a newer pair at the time but they never got back with me, which was fine because my coach found a better place to get them from and they heat mould them there too.Ive been coming here for a while now. I can def say. Its not me. The staff members arent the greatest. And Ive observed long enough to be able to say this. Mostly unprofessional; towards everyone. This is the only place where the ice can have chunk patches. Be careful if you come here. Avoid the discolored ice spots or you will face plant.

2018-02-11Love the shop. I bought some skates there and the staff is super knowledgeable and nice. Ive gone back to have them punched out and such... Theyve been really great and helpful. It feels like they really care that I have comfortable skates and a good experience.
