Great activity
My child was very pleased with the ice-skating lesson and the coaching. She is eager to go back for the second lesson. We liked the facilities as they were cleaned and well maintained. However, yestarday was our very first time at the ice arena and at the beginning we were sligthly disoriented as there was no one at reception to ask for directions. Soon enough someone saw our struggle and helped us.
Overall, it was a good experience

Level 1 adult skating lesson
I’m not exactly a natural on the ice but after just 1 half an hour lesson I felt so much more stable and confident. The coach I had was really friendly and helped me feel relaxed on the ice. Can’t wait to go back again next week!

Hello Kira,

We’re thrilled to hear that after just one ice skating lesson at Cambridge Ice Arena, you felt more confident and at ease on the ice.
We can’t wait to welcome you back next week!
Kind regards
the pricing structure of the course is…
the pricing structure of the course is not explained at all and the help emails are also unclear. I booked a 1-month ice skating course and paid 96£ (it had said 40) with a dubious explanation that some of it is a set-up fee fo 12.50 (WHY SO MUCH), 40£ for one month, and £40 for direct debit for the next month. They didn't say how I can cancel, how long the course actually is, etc. Intransparent and overpriced.

We’ve reviewed your booking and can confirm the charges include the course fee and a one-time setup fee. However, we understand this should have been clearly explained upfront.
We’re taking steps to improve our communication and ensure all pricing details are clear before booking.
Please contact our customer support team at [customerservices@gll.org] with your order reference BET7086320, and we’ll assist you with any cancellations or adjustments needed.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention—we appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our service.

Memberships are far to expensive
Cambridge ice arena is brilliant in general but the company/charity Better is just a rip off far to expensive for membership £44 a month just for the ice arena if that included access to other local better gyms then far enough but to factor in other gyms it’s like £90 a month. And with this being a “charitable organisation” with the cost of living at the minute it’s just not feasible for these prices so I cancelled out ice skating and joined a normal gym for £21 including access to a pool sauna &steam room

The Coffee&Skate sessions on Friday…
The Coffee&Skate sessions on Friday mornings are wonderful. All the coaches do a brilliant job in teaching ice skating (the Figure skating syllabus). Therefore, I would like to suggest that more such group sessions (including Ice Dancing) are being implemented at the weekends early mornings (after the Learn2Skate courses) on Sundays and/or on Friday mornings from 10am (instead of the current Public Ice session).

My favourite place!
It is such a great community of skaters and it’s so lovely how everyone encourages and supports each other.
Coffee and skate is my absolute favourite and I rarely miss a week. I think what makes it so special is that we get to learn and practice new skills outside of our lessons which enhances our skating skills considerably.

The staff at reception were great, but cashless not good.
The staff at reception were great. Would have given a 5/5 for their care and skill alone in helping us join weekly lessons but the non-acceptance of cash and steering toward direct debit is a large enough disadvantage and clash of faith to detract.

I think membership shouldn’t be paid…
I think membership shouldn’t be paid for two months in advance as it’s too much money we have to pay at the beginning and if I cancel it’s going to be waist of one month worth of money because if I don’t want to participate anymore in iceskating I still need to go one month extra but if person has decided to stop it’s for a reason.
