Whether you're raising the next hockey hopeful, reigniting your skating hobby, or simply looking for a great family activity in the city, there’s a rink that fits your lifestyle.

In a place where summer humidity lasts half the year, a little time on the ice (skating or even curbing) can be just the chill out you need.

Also fantastic entertainment for live ice skating competitions, hockey games and tournaments. The Hong Kong Ice Hockey 5’s is one of the largest and most popular tournaments in Asia – 2026 Version – April 24th – May 9th at Mega Box – some cool fun awaits!!
