What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors generally enjoy the lively atmosphere at Île Lacroix Ice Rink, especially during hockey games, praising the friendly locals and good ambiance. However, unexpected closures due to technical issues and significant crowds on peak evenings can detract from the experience.
"Shared a brilliant afternoon ice skating with the family. It was quite busy, but the rink is large and can easily hold over 200 people at the same time. Just watch out for the confident young guys who, whilst talented, don't necessarily consider that others aren't so at ease on the ice."
Simon Taylor
"Great ambience when I visited as an away Ilves fan. Locals were friendly and beer inexpensive (for ice hall standards). It's smallish and not particularly modern, but all in all a great experience! Thank you, Dragons de Rouen!"
Ana Musakka
"Today, November 18, before going ice-skating, i did check online if it's open.
I have arrived at 20:30 and on the door label says:
"Because of technical issues, today is close."
This is possible only in France!
In 2023, information is important as this is not updated online.
This is so pathetic."
