Rinks
Leading names in figure skating, Figure skating stars with Stars On Ice and Champions On Ice and guest professionals, always compliment the famous Hershey ice. The Hershey Figure Skating Club is proud and privileged to benefit from the years of experience the Hershey rink crews have in making great ice for figure skating. The Club skates at two rinks in Hershey, Giant Center and the historic Hersheypark Arena, both of which are a part of the Hersheypark Entertainment Complex (see directions below).
