Go Ice Skating in Oman

Ice skating is a sport in which people slide over a smooth ice surface on steel-bladed skates worn like shoes. Millions of people enjoy ice skating outdoors on frozen lakes, in those parts of the world where the winters are cold enough, and at indoor arenas in other places, as is the case in Oman, where the temperatures in Muscat never get close to zero.

For a long time, Fun Zone in Qurum was the only centre for ice skating in the country, for both leisure skaters and professional figure skaters, but recently, a new centre has been opened in Nizwa at the Grand Mall.
Both ice rinks remain open from 9am until midnight, with no closure for lunch or afternoon breaks. And almost every day, the ice floor is busy with skaters whizzing past the watching area.

Kids falter around the rink with the help of a metal walker, their little feet clad with skating boots. Gliding around them are teens and more experienced skaters showing off stunts and spluttering the ice as they skid to stop. At OMR4 and 3 in Qurum and Nizwa respectively for 90 minutes skating, it’s good value for money and is guaranteed to keep most kids excitingly engaged.

Both locations employ accredited teachers who come with years of skating experience, to teach children and adults how to skate safely through hour-and-a-half group and individual training sessions. Classes are generally designed for almost all ages as well as skating capabilities, so if you take pleasure in the company of other people, class lessons are significantly less pricey and present a great opportunity to learn from the mistakes of other skaters while avoiding them yourself. Private sessions are ideal for more experienced skaters who desire one-on-one instruction and new technique training with immediate, personalised feedback.

Another great initiative at Fun Zone is the LTP (Learn to Play) Ice Hockey Programme, which introduces kids ages five to twelve-years-old to the skating-based game of hockey, under the supervision of the IIHF (International Ice Hockey Federation).

Most people ice skate for recreation and exercise, though skating is also a highly competitive international sport and the basis for the game of ice hockey. In Oman, with almost eight months of the year seeing temperatures above 40 degrees, this chilly sport is one of the best activities for children and adults who want to stay cool, get some exercise, and have fun as a family. — [email protected]
