When not hosting the 10th-largest adult hockey league in the United States, The Gardens Ice House opens its three full-size rinks and one mini rink for public skating sessions seven days a week. Upon arrival, revelers visit the rental desk to select hockey or figure skates, or one of each in attempts to perfect the elusive salchow-wall-check combo. A kindly staff of zamboni jockeys keeps the spacious, glass-lined rinks slick and mirroresque. After skating up appetites, speedsters can grab bites to eat and start conversations with a coffee machine at The Gardens’ Ice Breaker Cafe.
