Enjoyed family skate with my five-year old son. Met a couple of families up from Chicago. One huge oval (400 m) with two international-sized hockey rinks in the middle and a running/walking track on the outside. There's also hockey, figure skating, speed skating, curling, therapy skating, individual/group lessons, leagues -- something for everyone. Coming from NY, the prices are great (we pay over $20 locally for 1 adult + 1 child for one meh, crowded rink). Bring your own skates or rent for a small fee. Lockers available with coins. Vending machines and a small cafe for snacks/fast food in the basement. Skate shop and hockey shop on the ground floor. Nothing "fancy," but a remarkable facility, which I try to visit every time we go to MKE. Tip: It's cold on the ice, so bring a sweater or jacket + gloves/mittens. I was very glad we had snow pants for my little guy
