Planet Ice is adjacent to Hovertravel on Ryde seafront. Planet Ice is to the east (on the right as you look to the mainland) of the pier, on the spur road above Esplanade that leads “into the sea”, in the linked local area map. The rink is a very short walk from Ryde Esplanade bus station and Ryde Esplanade rail station, which links to Ryde Pierhead station and Wightlink’s fast passenger ferry from Portsmouth Harbour. Car and coach parking is located right next to the rink.

Times of public and patch (private tuition) sessions vary according to the day of the week. Public sessions are £4.60, Disco sessions are £4.00. Skate hire is £1.80. Patch ice sessions for training are governed by special patch ice tickets, which a coach will tell you about if you need them.

The cafe is usually open during public sessions. Do not expect it to be open during patch ice sessions.

The bar is typically open from 12 noon to 11pm, and serves hot drinks when the cafe is shut.
