Paradice Ice Skating Avondale
📍 Avondale, Auckland
Paradice Avondale runs a real ice rink alongside laser tag, 13-hole indoor mini golf, and escape rooms. Beginner frames and whale chairs are on hand for first-time skaters, and birthday packages combine multiple attractions. Dress warmly.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids 6 and up wanting real ice without a formal lesson. Whale chairs and on-floor staff mean beginners gain confidence quickly. The relaxed, self-directed atmosphere is captured perfectly by one reviewer: 'its own lawless independent nation' - and they loved it.

“This place is like it's own lawless independent nation, we love it. "How much for four people?": "Hmm, not sure". Gives us the cheapest pack. "My girl wore shorts, do you have any pants we could borrow?": "Lost and found is there, just take whatever, man, noone ever comes back for it." Got two hats. Where's the skates reception guy? Noone knows, we just go help ourselves - it's wayyy easier. 'Helmets are mandatory', only half the people wearing them. What is this place? Awesome. Definitely coming back.”
