The solihull ice rink is around a 15-minute drive north of Solihull town centre. It is an old rink and in desperate need of an upgrade. That said, we have always found the staff to be very friendly.

Planet Ice Solihull is home to a number of ice hockey teams, including the Solihull Barons of the NIHL 1 North league. It is just one of [41 ice rinks](https://skating-rinks.co.uk/41-great-ice-rinks-for-watching-uk-ice-hockey/) in the UK that are home to competitive ice hockey teams.

## How Cold Is Solihull 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. Compared to other UK rinks, we would rank the Solihull ice rink as colder than average.

## Solihull Ice Rink Seating

Planet Ice Solihull seating can be divided into two types, and neither option gives great views.

The rinkside seating is particularly cold. Also, note that the Solihull ice rink doesn't have plexiglass, so you always have to be on the lookout for flying pucks (and players!).

At the far end of the arena are some raised seats. In our opinion, these are the best options but the netting impacts your view.
