2. Planet Ice Coventry
Ranked a score of 4.2 out of 1672 google reviews. This ice-rink is actually opened all year. Reviewer Jade M wrote 'Student ticket offer only available online — it was a Sunday so it was quite crowded, there’s one main entrance to skate in from. The ice gets a bit bumpy if you show up later and it can be quite noisy. Personally enjoyed the music choice and the experience was fun, went with friends —overall would recommend.' | Google maps
3. Telford Ice Rink
Ranked a score of 4.2 out of 874 google reviews. The ice-rink hosts ice-skating sessions as well as ice hockey matches. Reviewer Nick Richards wrote 'Ice rink itself is okay, nothing fancy but skate shop that has always been inside is great for help and services. Toilets normally clean. A lot less staff activity on the ice nowadays. Soft play is okay for younger children, but could be tidier.' | Google maps
