As I write this review I rub my butt thinking about all the pain I went through during my trips to the ice skating rink. The closest rink was the Avondale one but I of course thought I was too cool so a bunch of friends and I would make the bus trip all the way to Botany only to piss our parents off by asking for a ride back home. The joys of being a teenager really! The rink is a perfect way to spend the day, it is cold so I advise that mini skirts and short shorts aren’t appropriate attire at all. It’s best to leave those for the beach. If you are stuck babysitting then take the kids to the skating rink.

Inspired by Dancing on Ice (oh, how I love you), I decided to try out ice skating myself. They make it look so effortless… how hard can it be? Well, how very wrong I was.
I have now come to the conclusion that I’d much rather watch people ice skate, than ice skate myself. It’s just not me. Perhaps I’m unco but I just don’t belong on the ice.
This is no slight on the place itself, though. I’m sure it’s awesome if you can actually skate. It’s a big rink, filled with people of all ages, shapes and sizes who glide across the ice, or are trying to get there. When I went it was pretty full, making me even more nervous that people would laugh as I fell onto my face or bum (which I did, several times).
They also offer lessons for beginners, too.

I am among the world’s most unco people. It was therefore with some trepidation that I drove out here back in 2009 for what must’ve been about my third date with my girlfriend. Man I was bad. Like seriously, biblically bad. Spent more time on my arse/​face/​elbows than on my skates. I also managed to take the missus down for a couple of tumbles when she attempted to help me. Embarrassing for all concerned, but at the same time it was a heck of a lot of fun. Amazingly by the end of the day I was actually able to stand and kinda walk and move around a bit (tentatively). I can’t have been that bad. Our relationship has survived to this day.

Paradice is a nice change from the usual activities we do with our friends, and for a pretty good price too. Suitable for children aswell, its great for a family day out and some bonding time!
I love the cold, so going ice skating is basically heaven for me. I’m not the best ice skater, but its so much fun after you get into the groove of things; although I wish the music here wasn’t so dated at times! Younger kids will definitely enjoy this if they aren’t too scared of blades and ice, and the night sessions are always a little more upbeat for the older ones and lighting effects are going full blast by then.
My best advice would be to make sure you’ve got the right size of blades on– you’ll have a much better time and you won’t be stomping around! The staff are in the know with that sort of thing so don’t be afraid to ask if you’re not sure.

Feeling hot? Like you’d be keen to enter a winter wonderland? Look no further!
Paradice is a barrel of ice skating fun, where you can swish around on skates to some upbeat music with your friends. I went recently, and thoroughly enjoyed myself (even though I fell over and bruised myself a few times!) It would’ve been great if they’d offered lessons to first timers before we stepped on the ice, but you have to book a class for that. Basically I think a 5 min lesson should be essential, as it’s a dangerous sport.
The atmosphere was great though, and it was cute watching all the kids on their little support frames!
