ice-skating party?

[fruitcorner]

My dd would like to go to ice rink with friends for birthday trip - there will be an ice rink open as her birthday is near Christmas - has anyone else done this and was it a success? Any tips? We will probably be 2 adults with 7 children

Yes, a good option. It depends a lot on whether they can all skate.

Yes, DD had an ice-skating party for her 10th. It was at the local rink which and several (including DD) could already skate confidently. I don't think I would do one if less than half could skate though as they don't have as much fun and need to be led round,

If they can't skate you need more helpers who can skate - the 2 adults are fine if they can.

My kids have had a couple of skating parties when they were younger.
We then went to Pizza hut next door.

They all loved it.
