Wellington Ice Skating Rink

Overview

Wellington winters read more like torrential rain and annihilated umbrellas than mountains of fluffy white stuff and the joyous activities that come with. Kudos to the folks at Wellington Ice Skating and Paradice Events, then, who do their best to inject a little seasonal magic with their annual pop-up ice skating rink.

This year, the ice skating rink will bring a winter wonderland vibe to Queens Wharf for four weeks. From Saturday, July 10 to Sunday, August 8, skaters and spectators will be treated to a lineup of themed weekends and parties, including 'Retro Night' where the greatest hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s will bang through the sound system. Saturday night will see the 'Disco Dance Parties' featuring only the best disco hits under a blanket of colourful lights.

There'll be skating frames, socks, gloves and helmets available for hire across the four-week pop-up. It's open from 10am until 10pm every day.
