Beat the Summer Heat at Ice Palaces – Have Fun at Taipei’s Top Three Skating Rinks

By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team
 
When the blazing summer heat makes outdoor trips less appealing, stepping into an ice palace to lace up skates offers a refreshing escape—from scorching temperatures over 30°C to a much more comfortable climate around 10°C, all while having a blast. Here are three great ice rinks located in the Greater Taipei area.

Taipei Arena Ice Rink
Taipei Arena Ice Rink is currently the only ice rink in Taiwan that meets international standards and is also the largest of its kind. The rink can accommodate up to 400 skaters at once, and the stands have seating for 800 spectators. It serves as both a recreational facility for the general public and a professional venue for elite skaters and national team training.

During peak hours, entry may be restricted once the rink reaches 400 people. Additionally, the skating area is divided into sections for figure skating practice, lessons, and beginner zones, allowing skaters to choose areas based on their skill level or class participation. Services include skate rentals, protective gear rentals, and glove sales.

The ice rink creates a winter wonderland in the north, bringing the joy of skating to Taiwan and offering a brand-new sports experience and lifestyle to this subtropical city.
