Northbrook Sports Center in Northbrook, Illinois operates two NHL-sized indoor ice rinks for recreational and competitive skating. Visitors skate during drop-in sessions or join ice skating classes through the Skating School, which has trained competitive skaters in speed skating and hockey for more than forty years. The facility also offers hockey programs and Northbrook-On-Ice activities alongside figure skating instruction aligned with U.S. Figure Skating pathways. Beyond the rinks, the center includes a dance room, outdoor swimming pool, concession stand, locker rooms, and multipurpose spaces available for private parties and meetings. The Registration Office handles program enrollment on-site. The venue serves recreational skaters of all levels as well as families seeking swimming in the outdoor pool, whether for casual visits or structured classes and competitive opportunities.

The page stays here because the attraction is still worth knowing about, and because we keep checking. If a deal appears on their site, it appears here.
