Ice Skate Tour
6-11 August
Lynmore Primary School, Rotorua
Ice that isn’t cold is probably the coolest thing we’ve ever heard of. The Ice Skate Tour travels around New Zealand with artificial ice rinks. They look like ice and have almost the same gliding capacity as natural rinks! An exciting way to learn how to ice skate, and MoreFM will complete the experience with bubble machines and music.
Adults $12; Children $8; Family $35
