Cardiff Devils Review

My Family enjoyed the skating but I did get a bit cross when A... they closed the end section on the rink durring one of the busiest public skates I've been to mean new skaters could not go round the rink with the help on the sides. I thought the other rink was for classes as the public rink is small so closing a proportion of it with lots of people on the ice made it feel very crowded...too crowded ..B....on a different occasion the three members of staff on the ice were messing about skating very very fast, doing tricks and going very close to young skaters and coming close to causing accidents. The staff didn't help members of the public they used the ice as their own private rink. I got cross when my 5 year old daughter got close to being knocked down but they didn't take any notice and continued to mess about...not very professional in my opinion.

Nice rink. Only one entrance made entry a bit slow. Need to light parking area.

Modern ice hall, great atmosphere, always packed for Cardiff Devils matches.

Best go at the start of session the ice gets ruts after an hour and coyld be fatal for a novice

Great place for hockey matches , car park can be busy on match nights so prepare to be patient

Very nice building and great main rink for hockey. Changing rooms are half the size needed for hockey though and the food is terrible. The options consisted of burgers, chips and vending machines. IAW didn't respond to my email or tweet about this and just deleted my Facebook post.
A shame really, improve the food and it would be 5/5

The old, temporary rink was bigger and the walls already seem to have damp in them, but the ice and skates are well maintained so all in all I enjoy it

Went to watch junior devils ice hockey match,it's a pity more people dont turn up, I enjoyed it.They have fast food down there it's quite good.

Best ice rink in the South, shame it is now closed because of corona

Popular place to visit. Found the staff unhelpful and unpleasant which spoilt the experence for my family

A great place to skate but quite expensive if you need to hire skates. It is going to cost you to take the family if you do not have any discount available. The quality of the hire skates is not that good and all the occasions that I have been have experienced straps coming loose, coming free, plastic broken etc. I spent most of my last sessions re-fastening my son's skates. Unfortunately I do not go frequently enough to purchase my own but would seriously consider it if I did.

Also be careful if you are paying full price to check to see if all the rink will be available as during holidays there can be lessons in the morning which reserve 1/3 of the rink. After paying full price and only staying for the morning this seems a little unfair.

We had a really good time. Lots of friendly people, some 1st timers and some seasoned pros. Generally good value but Penguin assistants are expensive to hire but essential for kids who can't skate.

Fantastic to have a real home for ice hockey again in Wales

I can only base my experience at a hockey game. Staff are friendly, good atmosphere

Nice venue, although the area is a bit abandoned especially on a Sunday. It's a little chilly inside which is to be expected. Seats are a little cramped but not terrible, but the view from the seats is very good. Drink prices are expensive but on a par for a venue like this. Very good atmosphere on a match night.

Shortage of penguins for little ones. They are supposed to be rented per hour/half hour. No one checks that they are being handed back in on time though.

Love this place.
I am at the arena 3-5 times a week with the cardiff and junior Devils.
We have two ice pads.One is for the public scating and is used as a back up rink if there is something on in the main pad and the other pad is the main competition rink. This is where the devils play, competitions happen and the scating practice happens. Sometimes the rink gets taken out and things like boxing happen there. There is other things there. Visit the website to see what is happening there!!

Great time with the kids. Need a bigger car park. I had to park in Morrison across the road which gives you 3 hours free parking.

Great venue however coffee needs to be improved on site. Famikyvevent to much obscene language in the seats.

Awesome time with kids during half term. Get a penguin for the kids to help them get around

GOOD ICE SKATING BOOTS,,,,ICE POLISHES 1 IN THE MORNING,,,NICE PLACE TO REST WITH CHILDREN,,BETTER THAT PLAY ON COMPUTERS...

Went with two small children to see Ice hockey, great event , children were very excited. Sadly our seats were right by the drummer for the away team , this wouldn t usually be a problem but my youngest has grommets in his ears which makes him sensitive to v loud noise. The staff found us seats away from the drummer and they got him ear defenders. Excellent customer service .

Great staff, great lessons, great food love this place

Great Icerink. Good place to visit for families with kids. Great entertainment for you and yours friends. You can rent a skate here or bring yours own gear. The are actualy two separate icerinks: one very big and the another huge. The quality of the sound could be better. Also they didn't play the any famous hits or popular songs here, which is the shame

this place is great, really friendly staff who are always ready to help if someone gets hurt or falls over, the prices are relatively affordable and the place is always clean. but what DEGENERATE sub human gremlin decided that it is a good More

Modern and up to date stadium. Good location. Seating and access to bars very good.

The home of the Cardiff Devils what could be any better!

Brilliant, really enjoyed The Ice hockey game amazing atmosphere.

awesome service,staff are great and smiling as always.

Expensive if you want to eat or drink. Other than that, lovely

My first time.it was brilliant for a 60 year old women..you must go it's lots of fun and good work out

Been coming here for a few weeks, great atmosphere but please be warned if you bring your child to a game it can get loud. Some away teams have fetched drums and are completely inconsiderate to those around them. As such I had to move to the other side just so my son could enjoy.

Aside from that it's a good place

Love this place, although very unorganised. Shame the front staff aren't a bit more happy and welcoming. This isn't just for public skating it's also home to the Cardiff devil's, synchronised skating team viola senior and elementary. Plus skate clubs that run on both Saturday and Sunday mornings which give you the chance to enter competitions and gala's

Fantastic atmosphere in the arena! Easy entry and exit. A super fun evening!

Does what it's says... if you like ice skating and you're in the area want to go ice skating this is probably the place you would go !

Amazing atmosphere and better than the local ones I go to in Atlanta States

Awesome ice skating pad with good hire boots. I've been here quite a few times now with various people and it's been perfect every time.

Great rink! the atmosphere when in any devils game is awesome.

Impressive ice rink, actually has two rinks, the large arena and a leisure rink. Very clean and well kept. Drinks and food available for reasonable prices and a good skate shop.

Like the way your advertising that your rink is open to the public until 6pm and we drive all this way to be turned away after we checked your website and phoned the day before and not even advised on your opening times. I have a very disappointed grand child and I m not happy at all. Do yourself a favour and update your site as it s terrible how you run your business the way you do

Me and my children skate here every other weekend. The facility itself is brilliant but the staff are very dismissive

Amazing atmosphere from the whole crowd, even as an away fan I still really enjoyed all the chants and songs. Everyone was really friendly and it made the whole experience really worth it. Parking was organised and plentiful and it was lovely to see how much the team really value their fans, with opportunities to win or buy merch and little foldable flappers so they could celebrate goals. Hope to bring some of that atmosphere and comraderie back to Guildford with us.

Great place - attended many Davila games - always very organised and well run. Nice atmosphere for families too and now Grazing Shed do the food, it s blooming marvellous!

Great place, clean, tidy, great for the kids. Seems expensive at first but it's not just for an hour. Well worth going. Also the weather doesn't matter

Good. The cafe (upstairs) wasn't open when we visited. Kids loved the skating, had a really good time, I want to go next time!

Great space for skating, supervision could be improved

This is a AMAZING place ! The staff are really helpful especially this one girl called Faith she was so helpful and always coming to assist people xxx

My daughter's loved the ice skating. Friendly and helpful staff. Good size and good fun

Love this place and the hockey is superb. Best franchise in the country

Excellent evening, attended a hockey match Cardiff Devils, good refreshments, good staff.

Great facilities & Cardiff Devils . Quality burgers .

Underwhelming event
Ice hockey was good when there wasn't a statutory break for ice cleaning, but general facilities..food drink and toilets below par for today's family standard. E
G no hot food available. Most toilets locked so we had to hunt for a vending machine and an open toilet. Speedy entry though.

First time visit to the IAW, very welcome and watched my first ice hockey game which was very entertaining.
