Ice rink - too busy & way over priced! The fare/bar/stalls - all garbage! In the shopping centre, why the shops stay open late is beyond me, I feel sorry for the staff having to be there, people weren't there to shop, it's the same every year. Toilets... Where are the toilets??? You spend 10 mins looking for them?? The... More

It's a lovely place to go with your family and friends. It's good for those who are fantastic at skating and those who are only beginners. I go several tims a year and every time with whatever group of people I go with it is a wonderful experience and you have an amazing time.

Had a look around at the stalls and such like whilst visiting the Designer Outlet. Does seem a little expensive for the stalls and also if stopping in the Ice Bar for food and/or drink. 90p for a can of coke and £2.50 for a small bowl of soup. Maybe it's the Yorkshire in me, but I like value for... More

We went on a Monday, made a special trip to the outlet village, and nothing was open apart from the ice skating. Very disapointing. Won't be visiting again.

Some people skating around ridiculously fast and cutting people... More

The Ice Factor should be back in the middle of York and not at the Designer Outlet - its too far out and has lost its magic
