The ice-skating rinks in Dundrum, Blanchardstown, and the RDS are officially open for business, and with student discounts and safety equipment provided, it could not be easier to walk (or skate) in a Winter Wonderland this coming season.
Ice-Skating, would I enjoy it? Well, what’s not to like about it.
The ice rinks bring many opportunities; figure skating and ice hockey classes are available in Blanchardstown, and on Saturday and Sunday mornings you can even go ice-skating with Santa Claus himself. With Blanchardstown’s student Wednesdays and Dundrum’s general student ticket prices, it has never been cheaper or easier to fall around like an idiot.
Okay, but is falling on ice also painful, you say? It is (and that is half the fun). To be sure you don not get hurt and completely embarrass yourself, you can leave the idea of looking cute at home and bring some thick socks and gloves instead. All the ice-skating rinks recommend that its customers should not wear trailing items of clothing, like scarves or shawls. While falling flat on your bum is hilarious, the thought of you or someone else ending up in A&E is not. They also encourage everyone to stick on a helmet, elbow-pads, and knee-pads, because they know you are going to ultimately make a fool out of yourself too.
Lastly, never skate and snapchat, people. Cameras, phones, and iPods are not permitted on the rinks.
