| - A casino with an ice skating rink? It may be the last thing you'd expect to find at the Fiesta Rancho, but there's almost always something going on at this arena. In addition to public skate sessions (usually $9.50 including skate rental, just $6.50 on Sunday), they also host hockey games and figure skating classes. I've been on a weekday afternoon, and it's normal to see a lot of kids as well as coaches in the rink, giving hockey and figure skating lessons. They also feature Cosmic DJ skating from 8-11pm on Friday and Saturday nights, which I may check out sometime. Maybe that's not a popular time for hockey instruction... those hockey coaches are intense!
If you aren't an experienced skater, you will see people of all ages who skate better than you do. I've even seen a baby (still in diapers), up on skates, and having an awesome time! SoBe Ice Arena is a great family activity, and just a fun and active way to spend an afternoon. They have a few rooms for hosting childrens' birthday parties. The rink also connects to a Subway inside the casino, which is one of the better snack bar options you're likely to find!
