This is what our visitors think of us

Rented great skates last Friday morning! They were sharpened the day before. Also, I was kindly spoken to when I had a few questions. It was not busy at the rental.

Ineke

Had a super fun company outing. Delicious food (stamppot buffet) and curling was absolutely fun to do once.

Walter

Very cozy ice rink that is well maintained. You can also rent all kinds of skates in all shapes and sizes for a reasonable price. Of course there is also a nice canteen for pea soup and sausage rolls!

Hernias

What a beautiful ice rink to skate on. I haven't been there in a long time, but I will definitely go again!
