Weekday sessions are reserved for Hopkins affiliates with weekends open to the general public. All skate sessions are 90 minutes long and must be booked in advance. Skaters must fill out an electronic waiver before attending, and minors under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult; children under 3 are not permitted to skate.
