Ice Skating Blanchardstown

Great place where to spend one hour in alternative way. This was my first time here and I enjoyed my visit. I have never ice skating before, although I use to roller blading a decade ago :-D
First of all if you buy tickets online you can save money and to be sure you book your slot before.
If it is your first time with any similar sport/​activity I would advise to start with an off peak time slot, so to find less crazy people doing slaloms.
Once you come in, you get your ticket, then you need to go to the area to collect your skates and leave them your shoes. Do this at least 15 mins before starting skate time to avoid queues. You can spend time you wait to try fitting the skates and do settings.
Then you can approach the entrance gate.
Once time finished you exit and queue to get back your shoes. If you don’t want your socks to be wet you can bring a spare one.
If you need a locker you have to pay 2 Euro but it is handy.
One thing I didn’t like is they allow kids and adults to skate with careless attention to other people. This caused people to fall down. They should direct more the flow so to avoid you bump into another.
For the rest is good. They have a small rink for novices and babies.
A must try attraction at least once in your life

It’s been my first time here, and I really liked it. What I noticed is: It isn’t so big as Rds ice skating but big enough to have fun. You can pick up your ticket and join the session if you are there on time or take the ticket and come back in time for your session. You go at the reception to collect the ice-​skating boots and leave your shoes. It is straight forward. You wear them and queue for skating. On the ice ring there are people who take care of you if you fall down so you don’t have to worry to fall. You have to avoid those who skate crossing your way or who aren’t able and try to grab you. If you aren’t able to skate yet don’t panic, you can skate near the border. It is funny. I love skating. The only thing that I think the stuff should check is to avoid people to cut other way or doing stupid things on ice scaring others. I also recommend not to skate too fast if it is a busy because not everyone is confident and also people should skate going in the opposite direction, doesn’t make sense to me. Overall it is good! I definitely recommend it. Last but not least, inside their is the toilet and also café where you can gave a hot chocolate :-) nice, isn’t it? On the way out, don’t be worried to go at the end of their desk. People stand at the beginning but this creates a long queue. You can walk until the top of desk as they are pretty fast on give your shoes back. They said to do so but many were distracted not to notice it. Be smart and fast :-) is my advice.
