Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Book your tickets and skate rentals online in advance, especially during peak times, as tickets are exclusively sold online and on-site sales may incur a surcharge.
- Consider traveling by public transport or bicycle, as the on-site parking lot can fill up quickly, particularly on weekends and during holidays.
- Check the 'noren-uur' (speed skating hour) schedule if you are an experienced skater, as the 400-meter track is reserved for faster skaters during these times.
- Gloves are mandatory for safety on the ice to prevent injuries from falls and sharp skate blades; they can be purchased on-site if forgotten.
- The 'Zeehondjes' (seal skating aids) are available for free on the Funbaan for children up to 12 and accompanying parents; please use them considerately.
