Great price for an hour of good clean fun and exercise, including skates!!
Good for the youth in St .Georges especially ,perhaps Bermuda may produce some world class champions like Sir Clyde Best.from Somerset and Clarence Hill boxer from Hamilton…….in my lifetime,,,I am 73 years old and holding……………..Peace.
Not just for St Georges. It’s not exactly a 2-day overnighter from Somerset, is it?
Well done – whoever would have thought an ice rink in Bermuda. Great to see some fresh, fun ideas happening – look forward to trying it although I think there may be more laughing (great sound) then skating.
It’s not ice. It’s some kind of plastic surface. Amazing as it looks like they are skating on ice.
We need to know de trickle down effect for onion juice.
This is such a nice recreational activity for the Bermudians. I love ice skating, a beautiful sport, but just remember if and when you fall get up and keep trying. Bumps and bruises come with the sport.⛸⛸⛸
