Tucked within Kent State University’s campus, the school’s ice arena opens its doors to gliders of all ages with a full schedule of public skating opportunities. Guests can slide into a pair of rental skates and coast across the same frozen field used by the school’s hockey, broomball, and zamboni-jousting teams. After working up an appetite, skaters refuel with one of the venue’s value meals, with options such as a hot dog, cheeseburger, hamburger, grilled cheese, or chicken fingers, accompanied by a drink and either fries or a pretzel.

Alternatively, skating novices can seek the guidance of a professional with Beginner lessons. During each of the eight one-hour session, which take place once a week starting the first week of January on either Thursday evenings or Saturday mornings, students learn basic skating skills, focusing on safety, building confidence, and learning to etch trash talk into the ice. Class participants who don’t have their own skates can rent a pair for an extra $1, and all attendees are encouraged to outfit hands with mittens, gloves, or lucky foam fingers to keep digits warm.
