The White Hat Guide to Ice Skating in Melbourne

The major skating venue in Melbourne is The Icehouse at Docklands which opened in early 2010.

Since the demolition of St Moritz in St Kilda, the city and inner suburbs has not had a permanent ice skating rink in or near the city until the opening of Wonderlands in the Docklands in mid 2009. The ice skating rink at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl closed in 1998. And the Wonderland Park rink no longer operates since the opening of the nearby and much larger Icehouse.

In the suburbs, skating rinks can be found at:
