Skating at Kensington Complex
First time on the ice–or a rink regular? We offer lots of opportunities to learn and enjoy ice skating through lessons, public skates or hockey, for all ages and abilities.
During the spring and summer we switch to floor season. Enjoy in-line skating during the spring.
Upcoming changes to Be Active Pass:
Effective January 1, 2026: Customers with a 10 Visit Be Active Pass will pay the reserve in advance drop-in rate at registration. Visit the front desk on the day of your activity to have your payment refunded in exchange for a visit from your pass.
When you register as an annual, monthly recurring or one month pass holder, you can now bypass the front desk and head straight to your reserve in advance drop-in activity.
Open December 25: Kensington will be open from 10 am-2 pm with a holiday public skate.
