Grab your skates and hit the ice. Public Skate is open to all ages and skill levels — whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned regular, everyone is welcome on the ice.
Sessions run throughout the week. Check the schedule for current times, as they vary by day and season. Skate rentals are available at the front desk.
All skaters must sign our participation waiver and purchase a session pass at the front window before taking the ice. By skating, you agree to follow all session rules and release the Palouse Ice Rink from liability for injury.
