Ice skating in Utah County means Peaks Ice Arena in Provo, with walk-in public skate year round; the other rinks listed here are 40 to 55 minutes from Provo. On the November 2026 calendars, Saturday public skate is at Peaks, Cottonwood Heights Ice Arena and the Utah Olympic Oval; Select Health Ice Center in Sandy has none, and County Ice Center in Murray and Park City Ice Arena post their sessions week by week. As of November 1, 2026, the outdoor rinks in Midway and Herriman have not posted 2026-27 opening dates, and Gallivan Center in Salt Lake City lists an opening celebration for November 21.
Peaks Ice Arena at 100 N Seven Peaks Blvd hosted hockey at the 2002 Winter Olympics and has two Olympic-sized sheets. Public skate is walk-in with no reservation, and Peaks rents skates and skating walkers for small kids. Some sessions are for adults or college students only, and the session title on the calendar says so.
Peaks teaches group classes in sessions of five to six weeks, with instruction in general skating, figure skating and hockey for every age. There is a Wednesday class just for ages 2 to 5. In Snowplow Explorers 1, a parent in skates can go on the ice with the child.
Sticktime is open hockey practice at Peaks, with All-Ages sessions and Youth sessions for players 17 and under. Players need a stick, helmet, gloves and skates; the rink rents skates but not hockey gear. Each session caps at 25 players.
Sandy's Select Health Ice Center, about 40 minutes from Provo at 10450 S State St, is the Utah Mammoth's practice rink; the team renamed it from the Utah Mammoth Ice Center in October 2026. Public skate is in 90-minute sessions for skaters 2 and up, with skate rental at the rink. Kids who want to try hockey can join the Mammoth's Learn to Play program.
Salt Lake County's indoor rink at 5201 S Murray Park Lane, about 45 minutes from Provo, runs public skate, a recreational youth hockey program for ages 6 to 14, and adult leagues with drop-in stick-and-puck. The county posts the coming week's public skate sessions on its rink page, and the phone is 385-468-1650.
The Cottonwood Heights Recreation Center's indoor rink at 7500 S 2700 E, about 50 minutes from Provo, includes skate rental in admission. It lends Bobby the Seal skate aids to skaters 8 and under, first come, first served, with an adult's photo ID as collateral. Strollers are not allowed on the ice.
The Oval at 5662 S Cougar Ln, about 55 minutes from Provo, has a 400-meter speed skating track plus the North and South rinks. It rents figure and hockey skates but not walkers, so bring your own walker for a small child.
Park City Ice Arena runs speed skating classes, plus skating and hockey classes, children's camps and open skate sessions. It is an indoor, year-round rink with one Olympic-size sheet at 600 Gillmor Way, about 55 minutes from Provo.
Midway, in Heber Valley and about 40 minutes from Provo, has an outdoor rink on its Town Square.
Herriman's outdoor Ice Ribbon, about 40 minutes from Provo at 13082 S Fort Herriman Pkwy, allows strollers on the ice and rents ice walkers in standard and animal styles. Helmets are free, and fire pits on the plaza give you a place to warm up.
Gallivan Center's outdoor rink at 239 S Main St is in Salt Lake City, outside Utah County. The Gallivan calendar lists an Ice Rink Opening Celebration on Saturday, November 21, 2026, with the rink open that day and hot cocoa and DJ music in the evening.
Peaks is in Provo, about 5 minutes from downtown Provo, and Orem, Springville and Spanish Fork families drive there too. Public skate is free with a Provo Recreation Center membership, and you pay only for skate rental.
From Lehi, Saratoga Springs or Eagle Mountain, Peaks is about 25 minutes from downtown Lehi. Cottonwood Heights Ice Arena and the Utah Olympic Oval are each about 35 minutes away. Select Health Ice Center in Sandy is the shortest drive at about 20 minutes, but it skates only on Fridays and Sundays.
Lehi's temporary rink at the Sports Complex ran in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 winters. The city paused its funding in 2025, and no 2026-27 season is posted.
Outdoor rinks open later and depend on weather, so for ice today pick an indoor rink.
