Skate the PA Day Away!

On January 18, make the most of the kids' day off by lacing up some skates and hitting the ice for an afternoon of free family fun!

Free skate rentals while supplies last, and no registration required!


This event is free for current U of T students, staff, faculty and their family members. A valid TCard is required to access the arena.

What you should know

  • CSA-approved helmets are mandatory for children and are strongly recommended for beginner adults. 
  • Adults must provide skates and helmets for children. 
  • Free skate and helmet rentals are available for adults. 
  • All children under 12 and all beginner-level skaters must be accompanied by an adult member.
  • Adults must wear skates and be on the ice with their children at all times.
