Glide into a frozen oasis – Paradice’s Ice Rink in the Aotea Square is back
AOTEA SQUARE ICE RINK
Now with CURLING for the very first time
Friday 28 June to Sunday 11 August
Auckland’s coolest winter experience, the Aotea Square Ice Rink, will return to the city centre this winter with more fun than ever before.
Opening Matariki weekend on Friday 28 June in Auckland’s Aotea Square, the pop up ice rink will not only offer the thrill of skating in the middle of New Zealand’s biggest city but, for the very first time, visitors will be able to try their hand at the Olympic sport of curling.
There will be a fantastic two-lane, 12-metre long curling rink, perfect for beginners and pros and great for friends, family and team building, pitting two teams of four against each other for 25 minutes of entertainment.
Curling is played in two teams of 4 on a lane. Please note if booking less that 8 people you might be paired with other players to create a full team. If less than 8 booked on a lane you will need to play with the players present
On top of this, there’ll be specially themed party nights like Student Wednesdays, Skate & Date Night Thursdays with romantic music and lighting, and Groovy Fridays featuring the coolest beats spun by a DJ from a booth on the ice. The rink will also feature a stunning lighting installation that will leave you feeling like you’re skating underneath the magical starlit winter’s night.
The Aotea Square Ice Rink has returned 11 times in the past 12 years and has hosted a quarter of a million skaters since 2012. It will kick off this year with an opening night Matariki celebration featuring a DJ spinning Kiwiana hits.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a fresh beginner, there’s plenty of fun to be had. So, strap on your skates and prepare to slide into winter at the Aotea Square Ice Rink from Friday 28 June, to Sunday 11 August!
