They advertise that it’s the biggest in the Western Hemisphere and it’s 14 stories tall … all true. The temperature is perfect (27 degrees all year round). I’ve done this a few times … it’s … a novelty. The rink is beautiful and the prices for rental and skating are pretty good. It’s a regulation size ice skating rink with frequent Zamboni and open hours.

(I had to try it once …)ĭuring Chol HaMoed they even bring kosher food into the water park for purchase! There’s also a kosher section in the amusement park … I’m not sure if that was for Chol HaMoed or all year round. (Like everyone else in the mall, it’s overpriced.) There is actually a cart in one of the hallways (walkways… I don’t know) which has cholev yisroel gilatos … that’s kind of cool (get it?) … for $7 for a very small container that, honestly, I didn’t like.
