Policies

Payment must be made online in advance before the skater goes on the ice. Fairfax Ice Arena monitors the sessions to ensure that the skaters on the session are registered and are following etiquette. Skaters who go on the ice during a session and are not registered will be charged the session rate and an additional service fee of 3 credits for the violation. Fairfax Ice Arena reserves the right to ask skaters who are on the ice and are not registered for the session to leave the session and charge them the additional service fee of 3 credits for the violation. 

Skaters must cancel at least 15 minutes before the session start time or lose their credits.

Payment of the session does not include the price of a private lesson. All payments for private lessons must go through our payment system. 

Always exercise caution during freestyle sessions and follow etiquette.
