★★★★★Featured review by Abbe Coit

It's been a few years since my I last went Ice-Skating, but this has been such a wonderful experience, I can't wait to go back! The rink was quiet on the session I was on, and both staff and other skaters were very helpful in showing me tips & tricks - there were friendly faces everywhere. It looks like the building is still undergoing a few renovations, but the ice was really nice to skate on. The staff were very patient with my nervousness, I honestly cannot wait to go back

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children from age 4 upward who are trying ice skating for the first time — staff are consistently praised for patience with nervous beginners and large groups. The rink handles groups of 100+ with ease.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Inspect hire skate blades at the desk — some have been reported as blunt
Toilet facilities are sparse during the current renovation — plan accordingly
🎟️Large groups handled well — book ahead for groups of 10 or more
🚗Ice hockey match sessions create a great spectator atmosphere for older children

We were a group of 125 scouts from 4 years old to adults. Everyone had so much fun. We had a amazing time, all the kids and adults want to come back. The customer service and the patience with us as we were such a big group was fantastic. There is room for improvement, specially with the toilets and would be great to have drinks and food available. But in all this was great and everyone has such a great time that they are planning to go back with their family.

We went to Planet ice for the first time today and we were really impressed. Staff were really helpful and friendly. The ice is in great condition. Only downside was the blades on the skates were a bit blunt

Overview

Planet Ice Basingstoke runs a full-size ice rink with public sessions, lessons from beginner to advanced, and birthday party packages with dedicated hosts. The on-site cafe and parking are both available. Renovation work is in progress — toilets and some facilities remain sparse — and the rink surface itself is in excellent condition and skating sessions run normally. Ice hockey matches take place at the venue and create a lively atmosphere. Some hire skates have been reported with blunt blades.
