Ice skates for children and adults

If you don't have your own skates, you can rent freshly sharpened skates on site for a rental fee and a deposit (bring your ID or similar!). At both locations in Ludwigshafen and Zweibrücken, you can also have your own skates sharpened.

In addition, there are special skating aids available for beginners, which help them learn to ice skate. In Ludwigshafen, these are chairs on runners, which are also perfect for younger children.

Bring cash

Currently, in Ludwigshafen you need to book your running time online in advance; for all other purchases on site, please bring sufficient cash. You will also need cash in Zweibrücken.

Hungry while ice skating?

In Ludwigshafen, the bistro is at your disposal. Here you can order small dishes or drinks without having to take off your ice skates.

In Zweibrücken, the Flyers Sportsbar welcomes you for refreshments before, during or after ice skating.
