Lace up your skates and hit the ice! Public Skate at Fifth Third Arena offers a fun and welcoming experience for skaters of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're gliding for the first time or a seasoned skater, our sessions provide the perfect opportunity to enjoy the ice with family and friends. 

  • All skaters must pay admission, wear skates, and display a sticker before entering the ice
  • For a safe and enjoyable experience, we recommend that new or novice skaters wear a hockey or bicycle helmet, along with knee and elbow pads (not sold or provided by Fifth Third Arena)
  • Non-skaters are welcome to watch and do not need to pay an admission fee
