Orbit Ice Arena is a nice barn with great, but sometimes sticky, ice where the puck doesn't move well. The rink feels narrower than standard and the ice surface needs work, with nets and goals needing painting and replacements. Some note the ice conditions are poor and at times dangerous, suggesting maintenance may be a lower priority as ownership focuses on building a new arena nearby. However, the place is described as 100 times more friendly than the past owners, with wonderful new owners and a friendly, happy staff. The building is spotless, clean, and freshly painted with no weird smells, a spectacular new look, and a beautiful interior. It features a great bar with a good selection, good service, real food and drinks, and a cozy area with a fireplace and couches that provides good views of the ice surface. There is not much room to sit and spectate, so getting a seat early is advised. The arena is easily accessed just off Route 53 on Northwest Highway. It is a good place to skate with some good and helpful employees.
Nice barn. Great ice. They're going to be making a second sheet, soon. Ice is very sticky, the puck doesn't move well. The rink feels narrower than standard.

Love playing at Orbit but the ice needs to be maintained better. Far too often the ice conditions are poor and at times dangerous. The bar is solid and provides good views of the ice.

Cool small ice rink. Good bar set up, but not a lot of seating for fans.
