Joshua Dover: Had a blast!! Even has a decent little concession stand.

Jamie Bridges: Love the state fair grounds....watch my man play Hockey here!

Denny Denison: Nice Rink. Didn't know it was there.

Jessie Browne-Michaels: An adult only session once a week would be nice. The kids were skating every which way with no rink guard to direct them - it was chaotic, so I left after half an hour.

Indea Mccombs: Had a ball with the team celebrating at Pop Weaver it was a good experience...

jaime bell: Great to skate!! No drinks or food tho, unless a hockey game is scheduled... drink vending machine broken for months.

Craig Burton: Worked the Mecum auction, great cars.

chowe17 (chowe17): Love the rink and the Ice.. It's soo clean. The locker rooms are my only complaint, need a little work. Concessions are very nice and clean. Great place to play Hockey, on my top 5 list. Keep up the great rink service! :)

Heather Pope: This place was the best. It had a good basketball court.

dean malinko: Always take kiddo and leave happy

Doc Riley: Gauge magazine has taken over the youth pavilion for sound demos, tuners mini trucks and more.

Justin Buck: Just went ice skating here and kids had a blast, not crowded even after a hockey tournament. Good prices too!

Darrel Gardner: Had fun

Marty McMann: Super fun and a great place to take the family.

Michael Kurtz: Me and my son had a good time ice skating

Rudy Walsh: The ref was a joke

Diana Ratcliff Winter: We come to the pavilion for Learn to Skate which has group lessons for children and adults. We love the instructors and the organizers.

Andrea Washington: Love the ice skating rink

Andy Bihlmaier: Awesome place. Highly recommend.

Meghan Ryan: My son loves going ice skating here. It's affordable and the staff is excellent, the facility is well maintained and the rental skates are in good condition. They do a great job for parties too, highly recommended!

Molly Morgan: Loved cosmic skating!!!!

Nick Evans: Great place for the kids to ice skate! Great rink, affordable price, fair selection of concessions! Worth checking out

Michael Smith: Not the best food

Wayne Radous, Jr.: Kids behind the counter need basic knowledge for serving food . I would think this place would be closer to "state of the art" seeing it's in Carmel.... watching hockey is fun here, but the place is ratchet.... needs updating and a thorough cleaning.

Nick Gill: Nice indoor rink. Music could be better, but who am I to judge. Overall, great time.

Marjorie Fernandez: Lot of fun!!

Jes The Foodie: We had an excellent time skating around during open skate. Skate rentals were fast and easy and the ice seemed smooth enough for us (we just skate once or twice per year)There was plenty of parking in the lot and lots of places to sit in case you needed to rest in between bouts of skating.

Joseph Lewis: Over crowded, pretty dinky, and if you're going for the cosmic skate don't waste your money. The music couldn't be heard over the screaming and the lights were extremely underwhelming. Also, be aware if you wear a larger shoe size, their rentals were busted up and supplies quickly exhausted.

Dr. William Starsiak: A good spot to skate. Despite being in Carmel, it is not fancy. It has a decent arcade, lockers to store stuff, and a concession area, a couple normal sized ice rinks, space for birthday parties.

LaVetta Sexton: Nice place to ice skate.

Brent Gordon: 💰

Jennifer Flake: This was a little pricey but it was a lot of fun.

Jessica Clifton: Fun place for people of all ages. Cosmic ice skating was alot of fun! Not too crowed.

Rob Lorentz: My son said the ice was good, but the stands in rink 2 are aweful

Evan Finn: Nice place. Smaller, less busy than Fuel Tank in Fishers, which was definitely appreciated. My kids had a great time for 2 hrs at public skating. Only downside would be that some of their rental skates are in pretty rough shape- broken/shredded laces, dull and bent blades. They appear to be in the process of replacing many of them, but still have a ways to go. That aside, would definitely return for an afternoon of skating.

Kim Thomas: Husband has played hockey here since 1980s. We've been to many other venues around Indy and around the country but Carmel Ice Skadium is always home. Some things are dated, but they've been updating over past year or so. I wish they had a stocked pro-shop like they used to, though. We really miss that.

kobewilliams_.: this place is a no go, people working the cashier “misheard” us but had an attitude the whole time. They didn’t give us our food we waited 20 mins thinking we had our food coming and bout time we got it, we almost had to leave. Upsetting.

Ling-Yu Yang: Good instructors. NO flexibility once you sign up for the class. Meaning, if you sign up, but something comes up and you need to take a session off, NO. You miss it, you lose it. They do not allow people to make up class. So check out your calendar and think three times before you sign up.

Gabriella Delgado: I usually enjoy coming to this place to do skating lessons and practice skating, but as of right now there are an insane amount of leaks from overhead pipes that are dripping onto the ice… this makes raised ice bumps that are INCREDIBLY dangerous for skaters. I actually hit one with my toe pick and almost wiped out. Please fix this so that way people can skate safely. I can’t imagine how much harder they are to notice during cosmic skate.

Jessica Balascio: My daughter (12) decided last month that figure skating is her calling. Mind you, this sweet girl has been on the ice maybe a couple dozen times in her life, but here we go!!My wee female is rather shy and reserved; she's easily overwhelmed and bashful. The team here was so kind and responsive to her needs. It almost brought me to tears seeing her engage with her instructors and classmates.Naturally, I know nothing of the sport, so I cannot speak to the technical proficiency imparted on the kids, but I can tell you that she's smiling while she's on the ice, and it makes my heart swell with gratitude.I think the classes are an exceptional value if one takes advantage of all the tertiary benefits: free open skate at any of their public skate times; workout/training room access; and the staff seems truly committed to each child's success.I wholeheartedly recommend getting your kid into classes if he/she has even a passing interest in skating. A great workout, a fun social outlet with kids they likely don't know, and a sport that they can enjoy for the rest of their lives.It's beautiful. Really. Xx

Jessie Kiphart Watters: We enjoyed the night skating with the lights and live DJ. It wasn't to busy and the crowd was a positive and kid friendly environment. I loved the fact they has buckets to help my daughter skate for her first time. The skates were comfortable and clean. We did have trouble finding where to pay as the cashier was not located at the central desk, she was in the "gift shop" area. And the bathrooms could use a good scrub. Other than that we really enjoyed the atmosphere and the experience!

John Rusyniak: Nice rink.

illona lipovsky: Great for skating. Bathrooms dirty. Common area needs cleaning. However we had a great time watching a hockey game b

Jvvpaz: Been to this place like 20 times and every time I've gone out with broken legs and another friend that will never come again. 10/10

Krystal Dietz: We loved the open skate. Kids skate buckets run out quickly when busy.

Alina Bao: My first time skating was wonderful! I am 32, I’ve never stepped on ice before. So I was so afraid of falling. But Hanna helped me through out the whole class! She is so nice and patient with me. Great place and great people to learn how to skate.

jeremy bailey: Great place for ice skating during open skate hours. Try to get there early so that the ice isn't all torn up.

Joe Kubacki: Great place for hockey viewing. Best in the area.

Joni Heredia: The kids loved the skating party. The space in the lobby/ shoe area was pretty tight, and looked a little dirty. There was also a long line to get in.

Jamie Hoffman: We had a great experienceThey had buckets for the kids to push so they could skate without adults. The ice was fine and the people there were nice.

Cody K: This new facility is a great place for kids to skate on one ice and play hockey on the other ice. The smell of garlic is awesome when you walk through the doors!!!

Denny Denison: Wonderful for ice skaters.

Damascus Steel: The Fuel Tank routinely cancels freestyle sessions without notice, and they’ve been changing the rules for public skates that prohibits practicing any figure skating during public sessions. Great hockey venue, but they’re increasingly hostile to figure skaters.

Nicole Demetris: It's was cool try it its fun

Kim Lippard: Nice

Tierra Carpenter: This place needs to do a better job of maintaining the ice and managing the people on the ice. I’m a former competitive skater and I can barely keep my balance because the ice is so bumpy and full of snow. People are also skating in no particular direction, just standing around and doing a number of other things to make this a potentially unsafe environment. There needs to be a skate guard around to manage this, and the ice needs to be resurfaced at least one time per 2.5 hour session. There also shouldn’t be this many people on the ice at one time, especially when the ice isn’t being properly maintained and there’s no guard around.

Patrick Martin: Haven’t been here since it was the Fishers Forum but they seem to have done some very nice renovations here. The rink/stands area definitely has that “hockey smell” to it which is the only reason I give it 4 stars.

Connor U.: great

Dan Lobacz: Very nice place,but the ice condition was very slow for playing hockey.

Prabhakar Chintalapati: Nice place to spend holiday time with kids

Erin Doty: Very nice rink in an idillic setting in Carmel city center.

Genesis Dunn: It was a wonderful experience, they gave instructions prior to skating ⛸️. They also provided blue plastic booties to put on over your socks.

Johanna Barrera: Fascinante, me encantó. La pasé genial.

Susan Van den Heuvel: We took our grandkids to skate for the first time. The check in process went fast (be sure to get their plenty early - like 20 minutes). The young attendant guy was awesome, checking on people who fell and helping our 10 year old tighten his skates. Beautifully setting while Christkindlmarkt was going on.

Lucy Ivy: Skates are in terrible shape and some broken and if you ask them to change them they have the worst attitude. Workers are just not happy to be there and they are angry and with a terrible attitude.I thought this was going to be a good experience but it definitely isn’t.

Erin McCreedy: A glorified photo op for families.As an avid winter sports person, I was really excited to skate and experience the market for the first time. The customer service left MUCH to be desired. No signage explaining where to go our to to que lines. If you want folks to buy tix in advance you should have a designated line for those people. The line is rather long to get in, but I did not have to wait as long as other reviewers. The worst part had to be the other skaters though. If you're an experienced skater you'll spend the entire time in an overcrowded rink dodging kids falling left and right (no cones or anything for beginners), families just stopping in the skate path to take a picture, and entitled families taking up a lot of space. Just because it's the holiday season doesn't mean you deserve to be treated as special. Its crowded and overpriced. I'd recommend trying a different skate place. I really hope they pay their employees well to put up with the BS, but yknow, Christmas capitalism.

ABC Read to Me: Such a fun place.... feels like you are in a hallmark movie!

Kaitlyn Cross: The actual ice skating was great! They cleaned it up nicely between sessions, and we were able to get checked in pretty quickly. The line was long, and we arrived right at the start of our session, but it was probably just 15 minutes from when we got into line to when we stepped foot on the ice. However, the people working were not friendly at all. And, I'd actually venture to say they were extremely rude. We are very polite people - please and thank you, always. And this was our first time, so we didn't know that we needed to trade our shoes in for the skates (we had seen lockers, so we thought our shoes would go there). They seemed extremely annoyed we needed to take a second to do that, and they didn't like having to get a different size when the ones my husband got were too small. I don't know if management is treating them poorly or they were just having a bad night, but hopefully they were nicer to other folks who were trying to experience ice skating for maybe the first time!

Alberto Krohn: Lots of fun skating for kids and adults, good food and people.

Laci Watkins: Would give 0 stars if I could. I ordered tickets online for my husband and daughter. They still had to wait in line for an hour to check in and get skates. That left only 30 min of skating. I complained online to this company over a week ago and still have not heard back. Would definitely NOT recommend.

Heather Blake: Love the skating experience here overall, but skates are terribly dull and I just wish the check in process was smoother, I bought tickets online to save time but waited in the same line with one person yelling for the next pre-purchase and I can’t tell who that is, so not sure if I should cut in front of people or what and then after waiting in a long line I find out I need to fill out a waiver, I didn’t see that on the bottom of the email (because I printed the tickets off from the site), should be a sign in the long line telling you to that while you wait double check your waiver with a QR code, definitely would help speed up the process! But otherwise it is a fun outdoor skating venue, my kids and I love coming here every year :)

Connie Pobanz: So festive! The Christmas music is playing as you glide along with friends, family and many others. 90 minutes is ample time to skate. Fun during day but lights at night make this a magical experience. We had the nicest attendant and she was out in the middle of the ice taking group pictures. Thanks Carmel for a holiday tradition well done!

t d: My granddaughter and I went ice skating. There was a very unpleasant person working at the place to get the skates and literally rolled her eyes because I wanted the little foot cover things instead of walking across the wet dirty area to put your skates on. The skates were terrible! You'd think they'd be more comfortable so you could actually enjoy your time skating for the price you pay. We couldn't skate for the duration of our session because the skates made our feet hurt so bad. Very disappointing.

Tina Doyle: Feels like a Hallmark movie! Beautiful scenery and a great time! Heaters on the perimeter are wonderful, but the skates were awful. Ice was a choppy mess for the 6:30pm skate. Overall, it is a lot of fun for the family!

Alexa Hatheway: It was a bummer. The skates are SO UNCOMFORTABLE. We only wanted to be out there for 3 laps because they hurt so badly. So many other people had the same complaint, one little girl cried. Super crowded and took forever to get skates. Overall just kinda bummed we spent $40 for it.

MR EHOB: A terrible experience indeed!!!Purchased tickets online only to find out there is a credit card fee for each ticket purchases as well as a processing fee on top of the prices listed- so expect multiple additional charges.We arrived at our allotted time only to find out that even if you purchase tickets online you still have to wait in the same line as those that did not. The line took about 40 mins to get thur due to the fact they only had two people working the checking in and their tablets were only working intermittently. Then once you get checked in then you wait in a second line to retrieve your skates and you must take off your shoes to give them in which the ground is wet so your skates cos are completely wet. Finally after an hour wasted then you get maybe 30 mins to skate of the hour and half you paid for. There were so many people on the ice it was like bumper to bumper traffic and could not enjoy to actually skate. There are many other ice skating places the run and much smoother and friendly operation. Never again here!

Jazz Singh: Friendly staff and great experience! Lots of little shops to explore also

Darren Watkins: bought tickets online but that didnt help speed anything up. the line took over an hr to get in wasting most of the skate time. dont waste your money, go anywhere else

Casey Sweeney: Beautiful scenery...TERRIBLE skates.I took my family here to kick off the winter holiday season. The skates were so uncomfortable, that I felt like it was on purpose to get you off of the ice. My son and I couldn't go any longer than 30 minutes. I've skated at other places many time before and realize that the rentals aren't the best, but this took it to an entirely new level of bad. It totally took away from our experience.Outside of the skates, all the shops and surrounding areas were great!

Michael Smith: Nothing was working at the food counter and the worker wasn't pleasent

Piggie C: They don’t let anybody over the age of 8 to use the walkers even though people over the age of 8 come and don’t know how to skate. Completely unfair and ridiculous

Jamie Livesay: Family outing- cosmic skating from 7:30 to 9:30- at first disappointed because there were no cones or chairs for the kids to skate. However, the kids learned how to skate on their own so they didn’t become reliant on a tool-security officer on site. The site felt safe even without an officer. He helped us find keys and an iPhone.-There’s a viewing area that you can set it tables and watch the rink if you don’t want to skate-Didn’t try out the snack area but it appeared that they had plenty of snacks and all sorts of options-7 skaters flat rate (age doesn’t matter) was $84.-Lights and music were great- dress warm but plan on shedding a layer -it gets warm 😎- hit a like if my review is any 👍🏻

Cody K: Westfield vs. Icemen.... tie game!Energy was through the roof.Great facility and very kind opponents!

Malena Pena: My brother plays hockey here

Stephanie Martin: So much fun! Ice was good as well!

Richard Fattic: Took granddaughter for a birthday party. Had a great timeReasonable prices.

Lorenda Harvey: Watching my grandson play. Had to use the ladies bathroom and I checked all 3 bathroom stalls and none of them Locked. This is also including the handicapped area.Really? Why? This isn’t the only place.

Zachary Alexander Curtis: Excellent Customer Service and nice Arena

Ian Taylor: Got kicked out for standing out. There was a group of boys who got pucks out and started chasing the puck around the rink, I was minding my own business and then out of no where the sheriff grabs my sweatshirt and asks me what im doing, I say skating, and then he asks me about the puck. I do not know anything about it, then the sheriff says to me “should we go look at the camera?” And I say yes, I would love to. Then he just told me I had to leave. I get kicked out for being 14 and wearing a bright sweatshirt.

Janely Nunez: Me and my friend want skating for the first time and they were this red car that help you learn to skate. But the problem is that it was ages 8 and younger but they don’t tell you guys that. And the lady just took it anyway for us and didn’t say anything and we were in the floor trying to get up with the cars but she didn’t let us get up before she can take it anyway from us.

Anahi Ortiz: Me and my friend went to skate for our first time. Then while we were trying to skate they took away our red car and said it was for ages 8 and under. But the problem is they don’t even tell you that it’s for ages 8 and under.👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Evan Karn: Kids there teaching Nephew how to skate.

Hannah Pettit: First time trying this skating rink. Will never come back! Staff were extremely rude. My 7 year old needed the device to assist him with skating. One staff immediately took it from me and said it needed to be used for 8 and under children (thinking it was for myself!) I had to point out my child. Staff should be more concerned with the fact their AED device expired back in 2018.

Crystal Lynn Kamm: Best place to watch a beer league hockey game! Love the views from the balcony and being able to hear the chatter on the ice :)

Courtney Castagne-McCavit: We brought friends from out of town and they had a blast with my 4yr old. It does get a little crowded towards the end as the hockey leagues start to arrive, but this place is great.

Steve B: Not conventional seating. Balcony style seating with high tables and bar stools. Tough for filming games.

Louise Hill: Not too cold! Nice

Michael Conlon: No stands but tables on second floor. View of game from an elevated viewpoint is nice.

E dawg: Very nice venue for watching games. Best rink in area.
