How can I book in?
You can customise and book your school. Please book via the options below.
Please note bookings need to be 2 weeks in advance. Minimum 10 Students.
How do I know my booking is confirmed?
You will receive an email from [email protected] with a booking confirmation message with all your booking details.
What should the guests wear?
We recommend all guests wear warm, comfortable clothing that’s easy to move in. Dress warmly but layer up! While it’s cold on the ice, once you start moving it can be quite a workout! Don’t forget long socks and gloves are always a good idea!
What time should we arrive?
Everyone should aim to arrive approximately 10 minutes before the start of the party, to make sure everyone is ready to meet their host at your meeting point on time.
Can I bring my own food?
The Icehouse does not permit outside food into the venue due to our health and safety standards and the allergen risks associated.
Can I get a refund for any no-shows on the day?
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer refunds for any difference on numbers inside 3 business days of excursion.
Teachers skate free?
All attending teachers must fill in the ‘Teachers Skate Free’ before arrival. This also allows teachers to skate outside of school excursions at any time during public skating sessions.
