About This Venue
Macquarie Ice Rink, opened in 1981 and tucked inside Macquarie Shopping Centre, is Sydney’s only Olympic-size rink and a long-time training base for recreational skaters through to Olympians. Unfortunately, the venue is currently closed for a major refurbishment (25 May 2025 – about October 2025), so party bookings are on hold, but the information below reflects the last published package details.
When operating, weekend birthday sessions run 11:30am – 2:00 pm and begin with a 20-minute off-ice balance drill followed by an on-ice mini lesson. The $40-per-child package (minimum spend $400) covers rink entry, skate hire, a dedicated host, reserved café seating and a choice of McDonald’s meals or Bondi Pizza slices, plus poppers and water. Parties suit children aged six to fourteen, require at least ten guests and cap at twenty, with two free parent skate passes and optional extras such as additional hosts or extra pizzas. Families may bring their own birthday cake, and downloadable invitations are provided with each booking.

What Parents Say
Hugo Tse
★★★★Though the maintenance was not level with my satisfaction, my experience at this ice rink was quite satisfactory. The ice was smoother than average to skate on and there were not too many people to obstruct the way. However, some concerns I would like to raise as as follows: -The roof looks very mouldy, and has a lot of fallen tiles. This state will keep worsening if no proper maintenance is made. -The bathrooms are of inferior quality, even comparable to your average public toilet. Please repair the door of the third stall from the left in the men’s bathroom However, the experience met my expectations and was an enjoyable experience for me. Recommended!

★If your child is a preschooler or in kindy and a beginner, I strongly advise against enrolling them in Macquarie Ice Rink’s Learn to Skate program. Although each class is advertised as 30 minutes long, the actual learning time is disappointingly short. The first 10 to 15 minutes are spent lining up the kids and taking attendance, so the real skating lesson only lasts about 15 minutes. The class ends right on time, leaving very little opportunity for children to learn. When I raised this concern with the staff, they were not apologetic at all. In fact, one of the staff who also be seen working at the front desk, a middle-aged woman, her attitude was quite arrogant, as if saying, ‘If you don’t like it, don’t come.’ If I had more options, I would definitely not choose this rink. This is a warning for other parents to make an informed decision. While if your kids are older and not in a beginning level, you are welcome to participate in their lessons. The instructors themselves are generally nice. (I’ve also attached a photo as evidence. The class was supposed to start at 5:15, but as shown in the photo, it was already 5:26 and they were still taking attendance... To be honest, I was initially going to let this go, but the arrogant response from the staff became the trigger for me to post this review.)

★Most terrible experience! We have been lining up in the line for hiring penguins and the staff asked us to get the children. The second time when I have the children the staff said no more penguins. The third time the staff asked us to get transferred from other people and we did have someone willing to transfer to us but the staff told us it is not allowed now! What the hell? We have been treated unfair, super inappropriate! Strongly not recommended! Not being treated in a respectful way!

★★★★★A must to do!!! Visited the Macquarie Ice Rink with my friends and all satisfied with the level of enjoyment. The vibe was amazing and the music made it awesome. Friendly and attentive staff. Macquarie Ice Rink is located in Macquarie Shopping Centre on the corner of Waterloo and Herring Roads, North Ryde, Sydney, Australia. A perfect option to enjoy time with family or friends. Highly recommended!!!
