Jay Lively Ice Skating Rink

Up in flagstaff with my 6 yr old for some games over the weekend with the local team. Very nice rink and the kids had a ball. But the rink seemed unprepared for having 30 plus players come in. The problem was I tried to get my sons skates sharpened and was told they need 24 hrs to do this. Come on, it only takes a few minutes to do this. They need to have someone available at the least when teams come in from out of town.

First, a few things you need to know:
This is a government funded rink
They do not make money
It is the only rink in Flagstaff, and a lot of people want on.
Now, on to the important stuff.
Adults: $ 6.75
Kids: $ 3.50
Skates: $ 4.00
Calendar:
Chances are that if you are going to a busy skate session (Friday night) it is going to be pretty packed, so get there a little early. Parking is going to be pretty tight, especially if there are hockey games after the session. Plus, this way you make sure you get the right size skates, before the sell out (No half sizes).
The daytime sessions are USUALLY empty, and a great time for beginners to step into open ice. You may encounter a busy Saturday from time to time.
Find some space to sit down, and store your stuff. They have cubbies along the wall, as well as locking lockers (The cost $ 0.25). Your stuff is usually just fine, but be aware, they are not responsible for ANYTHING.
The locker rooms are luxurious in comparison to those around the state. The dressing area was built by the community, and hockey players involvement in the design is apparent.

our family traveled from page, az just to skate. we went ice skating on 12÷26÷14 around 11 am. The cost to skate with rentals for 2 adults and 2 kids was $ 33. when our family first arrived there were not very many people skating. but with time there were a lot of young and old skaters. we would go back again!
pros:
— there were skating assist device for free for young children.
— we had fun!
cons:
— even after the zamboni resurfaced the ice it was still rough.
— the skating assist device was difficult to use. the bottom tubbing wore through the rubber cap on the botton. so the tubbing was catching the ice which made skating a little difficult for our boys.
— my skates were in bad condition.
— the staff working were not friendly or excited about working. lol.

Great rink. Friendly service.

Not sure. We stopped in last week to go skating. There were so many people that we couldnt even get to the end of the line. Good for them, bad for the kids who wanted to go skating so bad.
I would suggest better planning or more open skating during winter break.
