What is a synthetic ice skating rink?
Will I actually be ice skating if there's no ice?
GLICE‘s new technology designed an ice-skating rink that allows you to wear real ice skates (with a blade; no toe pick).
Skating aids – in the form of whales – will assist first-time skaters and the little ones to get comfortable on the ice-skating rink. These aids will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.
For those who know how to skate, this ice-skating rink is just like any other frozen pond, lake, or rink you used to skate on growing up.
