The ice rink was really big, even with half the space being used by the bumper cars. This deal is only available the day of your ice bumper car reservation), but worth it to make the most of your outing! The skating area is just at the other end of the rink and we stopped at one of the many vending machines to get a drink before picking up rental skates. Ice skating is an additional fee ($7 per person, skates included. The bumper-car session lasts 15 minutes, which for my son, who spun around perhaps a little too much, was plenty! Skating There is an observation area upstairs with stadium seating that looks down on the rink for parents to watch, or you can stand rinkside. The cars feature deep seats with high backs and this makes it easy for an adult to ride with a smaller child. Everyone I talked to, kids and adults alike, said that they had a lot of fun. There were just as many adults and teens as kids playing in the bumper cars, driving around, bumping and spinning their cars on the ice. The lights on the rink were dim so the color-changing lights on the bumper cars and ice looked really cool. We each sat down in a car and started driving. To get to the cars, you have to walk on the ice while holding onto the rail - making it easy to see why close-toed, flat shoes are a requirement to ride.
Sprinker ice bumper cars how to#
After checking in, we were directed to a large TV set to watch a short instructional video about how to operate the bumper cars. We signed up online in advance for a session (required, and be sure to do it early as they seem to sell out fast). This newer activity, which is open year-round, is a great addition to the skating rink's offerings.
My husband and I brought our 12-year-old son and his friend to try it out. Looking for a cool and unusual activity to do with the kids? We have the scoop on the Ice Bumper Cars at Sprinker Recreation Center in Tacoma.
