I like having a local ice rink nearby and It was approximately $15 for my son and I to skate, which included the ice fee and rentals- BUT the skates were so badly damaged! Within minutes, my feet were a little bit sore from the first pair, but I thought that that was normal because I don't normally skate. After about an hour, I decided to trade the pair in, and that made a world of difference - but was still a tad bit uncomfortable because they were so worn.
