Chilled Ponds Ice Sports Complex is the top ice skating rink in Hampton Roads, known for its vibrant atmosphere and home to the Hampton Roads Whalers Junior Hockey Team in the U.S.P.H.L. The complex offers public skating sessions, as well as hockey leagues for all ages, making it a popular destination for families. Visitors can enjoy special events like Glow-N-Skate on Friday nights. However, some experiences have raised concerns about organization, particularly regarding birthday parties where delays in ice time have occurred. While ice skating lessons are highly praised, with instructors noted for their patience and encouragement, there are mixed reviews about the ice quality during public sessions, with reports of thin ice and puddles. Overall, Chilled Ponds remains a lively spot for skating and hockey enthusiasts, paired with food options for visitors.
Nice facility with 2 sheets of ice. They also have a good available though I didn't get anything other than a fountain drink and chips. Rather expensive, $7+ for a large fountain drink and chips.
