Westfield Eastgardens

I was more than happy to enjoy a coffee break after a whole day of shopping at the Westfield Eastgardens shopping mall in Sydney, while my kids skated on the ice rink. Uniquely, the mall had a portable rink that is not made from real ice.  It is actually plastics!  We couldn't actually tell at first, realising it only when the children got on the 'ice' and they were having a blast!  In fact my 8 years old daughter LOVES IT!  She said it is easier for a beginner like her.

Ice Skating in Singapore

I think having an ice skating rink in the shopping mall is a brilliant idea! 

2 Years ago when I was visiting Singapore.  Despite the tropical weather, Velocity at Novena Square had an ice skating rink installed in their main lobby....with real ice!  That was a great first skating experience for my children and it was as much fun for me watching them skating while enjoying a cup of coffe on the side.

They also put on ice skating shows, put together by Stars On Ice from Australia, in the evening and they were just magnificent!

From what I understand, they had the ice rink there for a few years now and they will continue to do that.
