Murrayfield Ice Arena has become one of our favourite family spots. The sessions are really well organised, the ice is great, and everyone — from the skate hire team to the stewards — goes out of their way to make sure the kids have a good experience. It’s such a lovely mix of fun and exercise. We can’t recommend it enough.
