It's worth a visit just to see the rink. We saw the World skaters taking a go at the fastest ice in the world and it was very exciting to say the least!

If you never skated on an oval before, it is a fun to try. They do have speed skate rentals. I wouldn't by a seasons pass but considering it was an Olympic venue you should check it out.

If you really want to understand what it's about, attend a speed-skating competition; these are surprisingly interesting and you are likely to see world-class athletes, including many locals.

They should sharpen... More

such a nice oval, too bad it doesn't have more seats for more people to watch the events in comfort. It is nice to have on the campus adjacent to the physed building. Lots of parking nearby and central to the city.
