1 / 5Dubai Ice Rink
📍 Burj Khalifa, Dubai
Olympic-size indoor ice rink on the ground floor of Dubai Mall offering public skating sessions, skating aids for beginners, group lessons and birthday party packages for all ages.
Fantastic experience for the family. Staff are well mannered and helpful. It can be annoying with people jumping the queue frequently so you have to maintain your patience. Otherwise the skating experience and I must say the choice of music is actually really good. Some songs took me back to my university days. But overall a fantastic experience for the family. Really enjoyable for the kids and it doesn't feel cold so you can wear a t-shirt and skate without issue. Improvement: The skate return queue should definitely not be the same queue as the skate hire section. It causes needless overcrowding because everyone is rushing to either get their skates and return them in one long queue.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 3 and above who want a novel winter-sports experience without leaving Dubai. Skating aids remove the barrier for complete beginners, and the coaching staff are patient with young children.

“We occasionally visit Dubai Ice Rink for practice when my kids have competitions in the UAE. It’s a very nice ice rink facility located in a prime area inside Dubai Mall. The ice surface is good, and there’s plenty of bleacher-style seating for spectators. Tickets are a bit pricey, and the rink can get quite busy with public skaters and lessons, especially on weekends. They also offer souvenir photos, but these are charged separately and not included in the ticket. There are lots of things to do before or after skating since it’s inside one of the biggest malls in the UAE. Overall, a well-maintained rink and convenient location, especially for visiting skaters.”

“A fun and refreshing activity, especially in the middle of a shopping trip at Dubai Mall. The rink is spacious and well maintained, and the atmosphere is lively with music and lights during public skating sessions. It’s suitable for both beginners and experienced skaters, with skate aids available if you need them. The staff are helpful, and the whole place feels well organized.”

“We had a wonderful time at the Dubai Mall Ice Rink as a family! At first, we couldn’t skate well, but we gradually got the hang of it, and our child had so much fun. It’s great to be able to experience winter sports even in Dubai. A memorable and amazing experience for both parents and kids!”
