During Family Fun Day, both the indoor and outdoor rinks are open to the public. As there is no mandatory skating direction that afternoon, speed skaters are not permitted on the ice. A friendly skating race between families, however, is of course welcome! In addition to ice fun, there is also snow fun on the rink, where you can build the best snowmen and enjoy snowball fights on a lovely pile of snow.
Other (friendly competition) games can also be played, such as tag or ice hockey on the 400-metre rink. On the infield, you can skate your own Elfstedentocht route that afternoon. The ice rink provides various materials, but feel free to bring your own items as well.
Examples of items you may bring:
-
Inflatable swim rings, boats and air mattresses
-
Sleds and chairs
-
Soft balls such as tennis balls, footballs and volleyballs
-
Three- and four-wheeled vehicles such as pedal go-karts, carts, wheelchairs, prams and tricycles
Not permitted for safety reasons:
-
Pucks and other small hard objects
-
Scooters and inline skates
-
Waveboards and skateboards
-
Two-wheeled vehicles
-
Motorised vehicles (Oxboard, Hoverboard, Segway, etc.)
