We've been to Ashburn Ice for years, and it is our local rink. It is certainly newer and nicer than some drinks, though Kettler in Ballston is certainly a nice rink. The food options for Ashburn Ice are Pomodoro Pizza, with pasta and pizza options, though nothing gluten free. The coaches at Ashburn Ice and teachers for lessons are all excellent. We're into figure skating, so I can't talk to hockey. But they have a nationally ranked synchronized skating team and Theater on Ice team. The staff are all incredibly nice.

They are going through some changes in the freestyle skating sign ups, so we're hoping to see how that pans out. Their pro shop is also focused more on hockey, while the peri so at the Fairfax rink is much more focused on experts in fitting figure skaters. Ashburn is looking to improve the pro shop, and is always looking at ways to keep people interested, especially as more options keep popping up.
