    Carve Up The Ice In KL

    You might be in the tropics but that doesn’t mean you can’t indulge in a bit of seasonal skating. After all, what could be more fun than frolicking around on a frosty floor. Put your skates on and glide your way to fun at these rinks around Kuala Lumpur.




    Malaysia National Ice Skating Stadium (MyNISS)

    The only Olympic-regulation rink in Malaysia, MyNISS recently hosted the winter sports at the 29th Southeast Asian Games – figure skating, short track speed skating and ice hockey.

    Described as one of the top rinks in the region by many of the coaches during the Games, MyNISS also sits on a cement floor, enabling it to host more international tournaments, as well as non-ice events down the line.

    For serious skaters or those simply after a good time with friends and family, MyNISS reigns supreme as Malaysia’s  foremost ice rink.

    Royale Ice Skating Rink

    Offering a more intimate experience, the Royale Ice Skating Rink clocks in at around half the size of Sunway’s and is located inside the 5-star Royale Chulan Damansara. Children and beginners will love the Penguin Aids – little helpers that one can hang onto while building confidence on the ice.

    There is also a playroom right beside the rink, so if parents want to skate alone for a while they can leave the kids there to play.
