Questions parents ask

What is open skate?

A time the rink opens the ice to anyone. No team, no lesson, no sign-up at most rinks. You pay at the door, rent skates if you need them, and skate until the session ends. Rinks call it open skate, public skate or family skate.

How much does open skate cost in Metro Detroit?

Most indoor rinks charge about $1 to $16 per skater to get on the ice. Skate rental is $2 to $5 more. A few rinks give a discount for booking online.

Do rinks rent skates?

Most do. 8 of the 62 rinks listed here do not, and the card says so. Kids' sizes and hockey or figure skates vary by rink, so call if your skater is very small.

Why aren't a rink's times listed?

5 indoor rinks don't post open skate times online at all, or post them only inside a booking app we can't read. Those rinks say "call" and show the phone number.

How current is this?

We read every rink's own website or city page and compare it to what we show. Last check: Oct 21, 2026. Holidays, tournaments and ice shows still bump sessions, so check the rink's site before a long drive.
