Ice skating in the heart of Vienna
The Viennese Ice Dream is much more than just a sports venue – it is an impressive ice landscape in the heart of Vienna. With four large ice rinks and the romantically lit 500-metre-long dream paths through Rathauspark, beginners and advanced skaters alike will find something to suit them. A special highlight is the Sky Rink, the extended ice terrace on the first floor, which is accessible via a 150-metre-long ramp and offers a breathtaking view over Rathausplatz – accompanied by atmospheric DJ sounds and lighting effects.

Ice skating fun for children
There are also various offers for children who are just learning to ice skate. Children can learn to ice skate free of charge on a 140 m² ice rink. This is located in a quiet corner of the southern town hall park, where they can skate undisturbed.
Helmets and adjustable double blades (sizes 21 to 25) can be borrowed free of charge from the rental shop directly at the children’s ice rink. Parents can accompany their children on the ice in their shoes.
Various skating aids such as penguins, polar bears and whales are available at the edge of the rink to help children learn to skate as easily as possible.
