Ice-Skating at the SM Mall of Asia

Ice-skating is one popular activity at the SM Mall of Asia or “MOA” in Pasay City. Aside from watching movies at the huge and advanced theaters of this mall, it is in the ice skating rink where lots of people converge.

The Rates at Ice-Skating SM MOA: Open Skating/Unlimited - P 300 on weekdays and P 390 on weekend/holidays; P 30 locker; P 150/30 minutes, assist program.

I have never tried ice-skating.  But by just looking at the so many enthusiasts, ice-skating seems to be very enjoyable and fun.  I am really not sure however if all those inside the skating rink are doing this for leisure.  It is not easy to skate! There is a great possibility of falling on the ice.

You can easily spot a beginner in ice-skating.  The novice would desperately try to cling to the bars. It is a struggle from getting out balanced. It is not easy standing on ice skates while moving on the ice.  Doing ice-skating for the first time seems scary. Not falling on the very slippery ice seems almost impossible.  It is very difficult to remain standing while wearing skating shoes.

Just like biking, however, once you learned it - ice-skating is very entertaining. 

The experience is extraordinary. In this country without snow, ice-skating can only be enjoyed as an indoor activity in gigantic malls such as at the SM-MOA.
