Tips & Advice
- Book tickets online in advance, especially for popular events like Disco Bingo or the festive opening, as 'vol = vol' (full = full) applies.
- Check the 'Activiteitenkalender' for the most up-to-date schedule, as some events may have specific themes or require team registration.
- Consider visiting during the week for less crowded skating sessions, especially if you have young children, as Wednesday mornings are dedicated to 'Peuterschaatsen'.
