I am a 5th grader in TS Cooper elementary school. I am 10 years old and love drawing.

We recently went on a field trip to an ice rink in Williamsburg. It comes for a good price of $15.00 each. Paying the $15.00 will give you everything you need to start skating. The staff would always ask if you were okay EVERY TIME YOU FELL, but it wasn't annoying me to the point where I would leave. Not at all. There is a snack shack right next to the rink if you get hungry or thirsty. The brownies and hot chocolate are definitely something I could recommend. The skating itself was very fun and worth the money by a long shot. The rink wasn't all that fancy, but I like keeping things simple. The quality is pretty great. Nothing out of this world, but nothing absolutely awful. I'd definitely go back and NOT just to watch people fall... I promise.

AIG ON Ice!

Addison on Ice

I thought it was very fun. There is staff there to help you and your child. There is a snack shack. There are a few safety precautions and the skates have thicker blades than what the pros have because they are safer. You might to bring a thin jacket because it is cold but once you start skating it gets hot. There are little balance objects to help little kids. The cost is $15 per person. Here's a little suggestion: you should probably go at night because the ice melts a little during the day and if you fall you might get a little wet. It freezes back during the night. It is also a romantic place for couples. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!

Hudsen on Ice

My experience ice skating was really fun! It took a while to get used to it but after I got used to it, it was awesome! The staff always asked me if I was okay after I fell down. They had a place where you could get snacks as well. They had hot cocoa, popcorn, coffee, snacks, drinks, and candy! It was really fun, so go there today!

Kathryn on Ice

​My experience amazing nothing more nothing less. I don't know about the others but I loved ice skating! It can be pretty dangerous though, so please do take precaution and take in consideration the dangers of ice skating. I’m not saying it wasn’t fun, I’m just saying take please take precaution but I’ll stop my rant about the dangers of ice skating and more about my experience! Yes, I fell a few times but you probably know what they say- try and try again until you succeed! So don’t hesitate to go today. Now I’m out... see you later!

By: JT Riddick

The Williamsburg, VA ice ring wasn't 5 stars... it was better than 5 stars! It was the most fun experience ever. It had the best staff. Every time you fell they would come help you up. Their snack shack had hot dogs, fat brownies, soda, hot chocolate, and other good stuff. It was worth the money because it was so fun. It only costs $15.00, which includes your ticket to skate and your skates. It's area was about  70 square feet. I fell a lot and it was hard at first but after 30 minutes you'll get the hang of it.Best ever . I WOULD LOVE TO GO BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
