We had our first family experience with ice skating recently at the Center Ice Sports Complex in North Canton!
I was… uh… dreading it at least a little bit because its been a long time since I’ve skated and the older I get the more I can tell I’m not 20-something anymore!
This was our boys’ first time on ice skates and they sure took to it better than I expected. In fact, my 8 year old made sure I knew that he wants skating lessons now. He did fall at least a couple times out there and I fell at least once. But that’s because I was hamming it up for a friend’s camera (this was a blogger event). I did get some video you can view (my fall is not on it- ha!) and I wasn’t hurt (even better!).
Enjoy the video below (click here if you can’t see it). You’ll see Megan, the Skate Instructor, taking my son on the ice for circles. And if you want to learn more about the Center Ice Sports Complex and enter for a chance to win 4 tickets for admission to Open Skate … read on!

I would love to win these tickets! Years ago my husband and I enjoyed ice skating. We now have 3 boys who are now old enough to ice skate. Would love to have this family experience with them!!!
I would love to win!!
My kids were just asking about goig skating, so it would be great to win!
My girls have been asking to go ice skating here for over a year but because hubby being disabled and I am on unemployment I can not afford to take them. I am not wanting anyone to feel sorry for us, I am just saying why I would love too because I keep having to explain why we cannot. My girls are 8 and would love to know that they won a trip to the ice skating rink. They would be so elated! I would have screaming girls jumping everywhere.
We’d love to take our older two! My daughter has never been skating and my son hasn’t been since he was 4! 🙂 We’d love to check it out! 🙂
Great giveaway!! My son and I often go to KSU and I didnt know this place in North Canton existed!! Would love to try it out!!
I would love to win a 4-pack of tickets for Center Ice. My two older daughters are 5 and 3 and they love ice skating (well, the 5 year old loves it, the 3 year old loves the IDEA of it). Last winter, I was very pregnant so my husband and I weren’t able to go together with our girls, he just took our oldest daughter by herself. This year, my 3 year old really wants to try it out, too. If we won, we’d get a babysitter for the baby and take our big girls! It would be so much fun!!
I would love to win! We were just talking about taking our daughter ice sksting for the first time.
this sounds like something my older two kids would enjoy! I am always looking for new fun things to try together and this would be great!
I would like to win b/c we would like to take our sons ice skating.
