Ice Skating returns to St Kilda
If you’ve ever dreamt of a Canadian après-ski experience, dream no more – Skating At returns to St Kilda this winter.
The Air Canada Ice Rink offers entertainment and a range of wonderful restaurants with delicious food and drink options through the precinct. The festival runs from the 21st of June to the 14th of July and is the place to be if you’re looking for a fun-filled family day, a night out with friends, or a little romance by the ice for you and your date.
With over 100,000 attendees in 2018, Skating At Festival is set to impress and attract large crowds across their six picturesque locations including Sydney, Brisbane, St Kilda, Adelaide, Perth and Mandurah.
Whether it’s your first time on the ice, or you’re a skater from way back, this is sure to be the highlight of your winter months. Each session is 45 minutes long and includes skate hire. If the little ones need some help balancing, or simply want to glide across the ice on a Kangaroo’s back, Kanga the skate-aid will be there to make their experience an enjoyable one.
If food is more your thing, satisfy your cravings by trying out a range of winter warmers from around the world in surrounding restaurants and bars.

“We’re excited to be bringing Skating At back to beautiful locations around Australia,” says Rod Stoller, Director of Skating At. “The event is family-friendly, but something to be enjoyed by all. It’s the perfect way to make the most of the colder months.”
Air Canada General Manager Australia and New Zealand, Vic Naughton, says the Air Canada Ice Rink provides Australians with the perfect introduction to the unforgettable winter experiences Canada offers visitors.
