'Ice skating is a fun day out'

A spokesperson for Amazonslots.com has commented on the study findings: 

“Ice skating is a fun day out for family, friends and loved ones, especially during Christmas.  

“However, it is important to do your research before setting off. This is because ice rinks could have particular opening times due to Ice Hockey and other events, as well as how much your tickets will cost. 

“For its great reviews and reasonable price, Alexandra Palace is ranked as the best ice rink across the UK.  

“Our research reveals each rink’s overall review score, the cost and whether public transport is available nearby. 

“Ice rinks are expected to be more popular during the Christmas period, therefore choosing a time that is less busy could be beneficial.”
