Ice Zoo Sydney

Last updated April 2026

Watch your little hockey stars light up at Ice Zoo Sydney in Alexandria, where the ice rink becomes a playground for junior players and first-timers alike. This isn’t just any kids hockey club in Sydney — it’s a fast-paced, fun-filled introduction to ice sports where children learn stick skills, teamwork and balance on wheels that feel like magic underfoot. Sessions are designed for beginners, so whether your child is lacing up skates for the first time or chasing a puck with confidence, the focus is on laughter, movement and making new friends on the ice. The rink hums with energy from school holiday activities through to weekend leagues, giving kids activities in Alexandria that build confidence both on and off the ice. Located just minutes from Sydney’s CBD, it’s the perfect spot for families looking to swap screen time for slippery fun. **What to Bring** Warm, comfortable layers — leggings or track pants with a long-sleeve top work best. Bring socks, full hockey gear is provided, but bring your own if your child prefers familiar skates. Pack water and a small snack; the air-conditioned rink keeps energy up but high shelves make it hard to stash treats. Don’t forget a hair tie if your child’s hair is long — helmets stay on tight, but loose hair can be a nuisance. **Best Age Range** Best for 4–12 year olds. Little ones under 4 aren’t permitted on the ice for safety, but parents can watch safely from the viewing area. **Good to Know** Sessions run in 60-minute blocks on weekdays after school and weekends. Book online 24 hours ahead — walk-ins are welcome only if space allows. Parking is free in the Johnson Street lot, but it fills up fast during school holiday activities Sydney. Helmets are mandatory and provided, so no need to bring your own. Check the Ice Zoo Sydney website for special family packages during the holidays. **Nearby** Cool off afterwards at the splash-friendly playground at Alexandria Park in Alexandria Sydney. For a sit-down meal, try the family menu at The Grounds of Alexandria — a short stroll away. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 15 minutes early to let kids burn off energy before lacing up. Bring a spare pair of dry socks — even with knee pads, socks can get damp from kneeling. If your child is nervous, book a private 30-minute “Learn to Glide” session first — it’s quieter and builds confidence before joining a group.
