A seasonal pop-up ice rink on Queens Wharf on Wellington's waterfront, run by Paradice Events. The website describes a winter skating season with music, lighting effects and sessions for both experienced skaters and first-timers. We hear the rink runs as a pop-up for a set season, listed as 20 June to 19 July, so check the dates before you go. The rink is 30 metres by 15 metres, with about 400 pairs of skates for hire.
Themed sessions include Student Wednesdays with student pricing, Skate and Date Thursdays with music and ambient lighting, and Groovy Fridays with Top 40 music. The Student night is Wednesday 7pm to 10pm, at $18 for students with ID, and pre-schoolers aged 3 and 4 pay $16, both as at 2026. Helmets, or a Paradice-approved safety headband, are compulsory, and gloves are recommended. Children 6 and under wear a helmet only. The minimum age is 3. Tickets are sold inside the rink and online. The website describes the sport as carrying the risk of falls and collisions.
