Good to know
- Skating or hockey — not both at once. Insurance rules. Want both? We can set up cross-ice boards (skaters on one side, hockey on the other) for $50; setup and takedown come out of your ice time.
- Hockey requires a helmet with a cage or ½ shield. No exceptions. Other gear is recommended.
- 72-hour cancellation notice is required for parties and private ice so we have a chance to re-book the slot.
- No refunds on birthday parties or gift certificates.
- Skaters get a sticker-ticket instead of signing a paper waiver. Rental helmets are $5, or bring your own.
Not a birthday?
We host anniversaries, family reunions, graduation parties, corporate outings and end-of-year celebrations too.
Gift certificates
You pick the amount — a perfect holiday or birthday gift. Ask at the front counter.

Compare packages Can we bring our own food and cake to a birthday party?
Yes — you bring the food, cake and decorations, and you’re responsible for cleanup afterward.
Can kids play hockey at a birthday party?
Yes, but because of insurance rules the party ice can be used for skating or hockey, not both at the same time. For both, cross-ice boards can be set up (skaters on one side, hockey on the other) for $50; setup and takedown come out of your ice time. Anyone playing hockey must wear at least a helmet with a cage or ½ shield.
Do I need to book a party in advance?
Yes. Every party at Penobscot Ice Arena must be booked ahead of time, and the Warm Room can’t be used for a party unless it’s a scheduled party.
Request a date What is the cancellation policy for parties and ice rentals?
Penobscot Ice Arena requires at least 72 hours’ notice to cancel a party or private ice rental, so the slot can be re-booked. Birthday parties and gift certificates are non-refundable.
Can I host something other than a birthday?
Yes. Penobscot Ice Arena also hosts anniversaries, family reunions, graduation parties, corporate outings and end-of-year celebrations.
Do you sell gift certificates?
Yes. Penobscot Ice Arena gift certificates come in any amount you choose — ask the front counter staff. Gift certificates are non-refundable.
