Anoka Area Ice Arena is a well-maintained facility with a welcoming staff. The arena features two buildings: one with an ice rink and another with a turf field suitable for soccer and lacrosse. Visitors should dress warmly, as both areas can be quite chilly, especially for spectators. The seating offers a good view of the rink, and the locker rooms are spacious. Although it is an older rink, it remains solid compared to others. Concessions are available, though the vending machines have some issues with card payments. The attached hockey shop is highly praised for its excellent staff. Overall, it provides a great experience for both players and spectators.
Needs an uplift on their music. 2011 called and they want their music back. Games and events would be better in silence than what they select to play for high tempo games. On a positive note, concessions are great and the hockey stick trim in the bathrooms is a nice touch.

The rink is always super clean and has welcoming staff. There is a concession stand open occasionally. Dress warm, both rinks are usually cold.

Loved the seating for spectators at this arena. Easy to see the entire rink. They have concessions and the locker rooms are large. All around great arena!
