Seating and Visibility

Pros:

  • "A nice venue to watch ice hockey in the UK."
  • "The place was not very busy and was good family fun."
  • "The viewing area is above the skate hire with plenty of seating."
  • "Due to the seating being elevated, the views from the rows at the back of the blocks, aren't as good as the ones at the front."

Cons:

  • "The raised seating makes it difficult to see the entire pitch during the game and there is a clear blind spot in the section of rink directly below your stand."
  • "The views of the ice rink during games are restricted in some areas, such is the poor build work of the place."
  • "Best to go the bars for food and drink during the periods as it can get busy."
  • "If you sit at the end of the venue the view of the hockey is not great because of the black netting."

Parking

Pros:

  • "Parking was well organised and costs £3."
  • "The place has ample parking on site. We paid only £1 for the whole time we were there around 2 hours."
  • "You can also park at the park and ride for free!"
  • "Easy to park as well for £1."

Cons:

  • "I also received a fine for parking at Leeds rink. I arrived at 14.15pm for a Ice skating session. Had no idea that you had to pay for parking."
  • "Parking, parking and parking, didn’t even notice signs on rainy day just picking up kids from birthday party."
  • "The parking ticket machines are also hidden away out of sight and staff inside will not inform you that you need to pay for parking."
  • "Parking caused £60 fine due to problems with their parking app."

Facilities and Cleanliness

Pros:

  • "Inside was bright, clean and also well organised."
  • "The place is expensive but well worth it."
  • "Modern facility that is better than most planet ice locations."
  • "Good fun for a few hours out. The kids loved it & it is reasonable priced."

Cons:

  • "Toilets adequate hygiene but terrible smell of sewerage."
  • "Shoddy, half finished and overpriced. I can't understand how this place is open to the public."
  • "The changing rooms are too small, so the team has to be split into two."
  • "As regulars at Bradford we thought we would give Leeds a try. It's expensive and looks unfinished, like they have ran out of money."

Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Reception staff seems friendly and helpful."
  • "The staff at reception were really helpful."
  • "Everyone is very friendly and staff are great."
  • "The staff were lovely and offered for us to join in early with the session that was already on."

Cons:

  • "Some of the yellow jacketed event staff seem to think that their bright colours mean they can talk to you like you are 3 years old."
  • "If l could give the staff at Leeds Planet Ice 0 l would."
  • "I've spent about £300 skating here since feb, and amassed about the same in parking fines."
  • "I took 4 11 year olds for my lads birthday and I paid for a session for myself when booking, but unfortunately I injured my foot the dau before."

Pricing and Value for Money

Pros:

  • "The food and beverages available are also good quality, a little pricier than usual but I recommend the deluxe hot chocolate."
  • "I've been here on a couple of occasions to watch The Leeds Knights ice hockey play. The venue is good with convenient parking."
  • "Great public ice rink in Leeds which is open to the public for two two-hour sessions a day."
  • "Booking was easy. Option to take own skates. Easy to park (only £1.20 for 2 hours)."

Cons:

  • "Downside that you have to pay heavily for the assisted supported bear and penguin dummies to support if you are naive to ice skating."
  • "In my opinion if you want to encourage children to skate and get more visitors then I would recommend to slash the pay pay pay but."
  • "The parking meter outside doesn't work with contactless payment so bring coins!"
  • "Very expensive £50 for 1 adult and 3 children plus £18 to hire the penguins for 1 hour!"
