During Winter hours, the SoBe Ice Arena was open 2:30PM to 5:30PM on a Tuesday. As a fellow yelper stated, this ice rink is no Winter Wonderland. The SoBe Ice Arena looks outdated and boring, and is not beginner friendly. The rink is surrounded by plastic panels that make it impossible for novices to grab a hold of the ledge for stability or peace of mind (something klutzes like me need!). I asked the attendant if I could rent the kiddie training wheels walker, but she smirked and said those were only for kids. I had intended to go full on grandma with my walker, but I guess that wasn't happening.
Without a ledge to hold on to (OR my granny walker), my skating prospects looked bleak. My husband wasn't feeling the underwhelming vibe of the ice rink either, and he convinced me that we should just leave. We had purchased a Groupon for $11, which was good for two adults and included ice rink admission and skates.
Our visit to the SoBe Ice Arena was a wash - I'd recommend going to the ice rink on the rooftop of a casino on the strip if you're looking for a more festive atmosphere or if you're a rookie like me.
