For a truly cool night on Oahu, there's only one place to go: the Ice Palace in Halawa. While this might sound like a catchy slogan, it is a literal truth because Ice Palace is the only ice rink on Oahu.
Not surprisingly, a state renowned for its beaches and warm weather does not have a high demand for ice skating, a definite cold weather activity. The closest Hawai'i residents come to ice is as a complement to their drinks. Still, Ice Palace is a popular location to hold birthday parties and other get-togethers.
You can't spell "Nice" without "Ice", and Ice Palace Hawaii is a really "nice" place to come for your family day out! Actually, it's Ice-Tastic!
The super fun thing about ice skating is that anyone can have a go! It's a sport where you can take your time, hold onto the edges and just get your balance if you're a beginner, and it's a sport where you can show off your skills, and get up some speed and turns if you are more experienced. Everyone is at a different level, so you don't have to feel out of place! The public skating is a great way to head out with your family and to do something fun together.
Your admission price includes skate rental, and you can skate from open to close! Why not show off your latest turns to your parents? Or parents, try and impress the kids!
If you do feel like you want to gain a bit of experience before heading out into pubic, you can participate in skating lessons, which are designed for skaters to have fun and learn inn a stress-free environment. Three words: Beaches, sunshine, and culture. How does that sound for the ultimate place to go with kids? This Hawaiian gem is teeming with family friendly activities and is one of the most beautiful spots in the world!
Kids naturally will gravitate to those beautiful waters, so activities such as BOBs Hawaii Adventure are perfect for kids to be introduced to amazing underwater worlds.
A few months before, The Pacific Commercial Advertiser reported the rink's impending opening in Buffum's Hall, a two-story building at Hotel Street in downtown Honolulu: "We learn that Buffum's Hall has been leased by an enterprising party of this city, for the purpose of establishing a skating rink.
The Pacific Commercial Advertiser encouraged people to skate there and said the skating floor was "like glass" and the skating was "so nice, and so easy. Since opening, the attendance has constantly increased and the interest in growing in this new amusement. Tonight, there will be music, and those who desire to enjoy, or themselves to cause a good laugh, will do well to go. The floor is like glass, and the skating is 'so nice, and so easy, you know.
The Honolulu Skating Rink would open five nights a week with the admission fee of twenty-five cents, and The Hawaiian Gazette describes the people at the skating rink: "On the off-nights, the Skating Rink is open to the public, much to the delight of the young portion of the community, although many of the 'children of larger growth' attend as spectators and are highly entertained by witnessing the agility of the young skaters, none of whom have probably ever 'been upon ice,' but enjoy immensely, the next thing to it, and many of them exhibiting a gracefulness in their evolutions that cannot but remind those who are content to remain spectators, of similar scenes in early days.
