Review on Familydaysout – ” I’m a huge fan of Macquarie Ice Rink. I have been taking lessons there for 3 terms now, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The ice is generally in very good condition. There are always a few hooligans on the ice, but I imagine that happens at most places. Great rink! ” – Emily Dunn

Review on Trip Advisor – “I get lessons here,, I’m learning to figure skate and I’ve been to every rink in Sydney at least once. Personally Canterbury is my fave,, although it’s not near shops like Macquarie,, the park and surrounding area is so nice. The cafes good,, the staff are nice and the ice is good most of the time (especially in private sessions). Although it can get busy,, it doesn’t get as busy as Macquarie,, and the ice is so so much better than Alexandria ” – Zoe
