We checked three places to ice skate with little kids in and around Utah County: three indoor rinks with public skating. One posts skate aids for beginners, like Peaks Ice Arena public skate. They’re spread over three areas, from Murray to Provo.
Season at a glance
Every rink on one timeline, so you can see what’s open the weekend you want to go. Tap a rink for prices and hours.
Holiday season
Seasonal and pop-up rinks, soonest first. The four boxes are what parents ask first: season, price, skate rental and skate aids.
Seasonal rinks usually announce dates in October or November. We check every week and add them once the rink’s own page has the dates.
Any season
Public skate sessions open to families. Session times change week to week, so each card links to the rink’s own page.

A Salt Lake County rink in Murray Park. Hours shift around hockey and rentals, so check the public skate calendar on the page.
Salt Lake City · about 44 miles from Provo
A Salt Lake County rink on Guardsman Way. Hours shift around programs and rentals, so check the public skate schedule on the page.
