## How Cold Is Kilmarnock Ice Rink?

If you haven't been to a hockey game before, you need to know that ice rinks are cold places (not a surprise!). And the closer you are to the ice, the colder you will be.

Also, hockey rinks in the UK aren't heated, so temperatures in the arena drop in line with outside temperatures. We would rank the temperature of the Kilmarnock Ice Rink as colder than average for the UK.

## Kilmarnock Ice Rink Seating

Kilmarnock Ice Rink seating runs two deep along the rinkside. This means you are close to the action and close to the ice (so wrap up warm)! The seats aren't raised much, so your views of the rink corners can be restricted.
