We live in Ottawa, Canada and Milwaukee is the only ice that we can get to “easily” for long track training. This will be the third time in a year and we will be here another two times before the end of 2019. Great facility and very helpful staff. We will be back!

Didnt go to euro when to costume place Halloween Express I went to go get a costume

I love this ice rink. I came here on vacation and I can’t say enough good things about this place. The top floor is absolutely spectacular! Im really glad I checked it out and gave it my review!This is an awesome place to have some fun with the kids. The ice is also pretty good but our group doesnt really go there often because there are lots of other people and lots of excitement. There are also some really good burgers on the menu, though.Seriously, dont go there when youre supposed to be at work. Its very popular with high schoolers and if youre younger than them, youre not allowed in. People are mean to the staff and basically not nice to anyone they meet. Other then bad people, this place is awesome and fun!

Good crowd and the price is not that bad cheaper compared to other ice ring place.

To skate: Good ice quality on both ice rinks as well as the speed skating ring. Most of the staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, while sharing their passion for any of the sports on ice.The only complaint is the journey required to get to the bleachers. You must go downstairs, through the double doors, back up the stairs, then walk between the boards/benches and inside of the speed skating rink.

Took our youngest son to go skating here for his first time and he had an absolute blast. It is a bit confusing to get around the facility, but once you know where youre going its not bad.The facility itself is great. We were only able to stay a short time, our son was getting cranky and tired, but it was wonderful. The public skate rink is the speed skating oval, and there are two full size rinks inside the oval, for those that dont know much about skating, thats a very large area to have open to the public.Prices are reasonable and Im aware that they offer 5-packs as well for a discounted entry price. Kids under 3 are free as well.The rental skates arent bad, not the greatest quality but rentals never are, if you go regularly definitely pick yourself up a pair of skates on your own.Overall a great place, only reason for the 4 -stars is the getting around and going up and down stairs. Only other thing, if you rent skates for the $3.50 they hold your shoes for you at the rental counter, if you dont rent skates, then you have to pay for a locker or leave your shoes out and the lockers are coin operated. I just stashed mine under a bench cause I didnt have any quarters but be aware that even if you bring your own, they dont tell you about that til youre already downstairs and laced up.

A great place for a walk or run. My wife likes to go here and stroll the track with our baby. Strollers have a lot of rules so its best to baby wear if you plan on bringing your baby with. Nice atmosphere and good place to get the blood pumping.

Great ice. Good skates. Other skaters are respectful. Fun night. Remember to wear thick socks so you dont get blisters!

Any skater needs to volunteer for a season here and enjoy every minute of ice time for free! This place is amazing, but needs volunteers to continue the tradition of the Olympic Oval. :)

Very nice indoor ice skating rink.But they dont provide any support stands for begginers

Great venue. Went to see Irish dance competition. First as many people and dance areas, it was surprisingly quiet. Some seating and great adjacent parking

Definitely an amazing place for ice skating purposes.For public skating, the giant ice track (usually for speed skating practice) is opened to the public for about $8 a person which includes skate rentals. I found it cool that you can choose to switch out your standard figure skates for hockey skates.In the middle of the ice track, there are 2 hockey rinks. There are multiples of hockey games that go on throughout the day from kids to older adults. You skate around them on the ice track.There is also a small snack bar under the skating area with pizza, nachos, hot dogs, sodas, and slushiesI give it 4 stars instead of 5 though because they do not resurface (Zamboni) the ice very often at all. At other skate rinks Ive been to, the ice is resurfaced every hour or so. At the pettit ice center, the hockey rinks are re surfaced often, but the public skating rink was not resurfaced for multiple hours!I got there at 3pm, and skated til 9pm. The ice was already heavily scraped up when I got there, but was not resurfaced until 6pm.This meant skating was rather bumpy. And for beginners, it was pretty easy to hit a chipped up spot and fall.Good luck to all who go. I had a fun time.

My favorite place to skate! Always love getting to go on the oval, just wish the zamboni would come around a little more often (every 3 hours seems a tad too long). Id recommend getting there right when they open for the best ice.

This is not a great place to practice for figure skaters during public skating hours. The ice does not get coated enough and it’s unsafe because it’s way too bumpy. It also dulls out your skates faster. Since the ice is a big oval you don’t really have your own place on the ice to practice on since people will get in your way. I don’t intend on coming back here to practice.

I love that non skating chaperones could walk along side their little one throughout the track until they learn how to skate on their own. I do wish they had those skating helper or wallers whatever you call them for kids and adults who want to learn how to skate.

Played hockey. Doesnt get much better...

World class facility. Need hockey goal video though. One goal was definitely in and was not called, very young ref.

The Petite Center is amazing for enjoying sports! It is such an amazing place to skate and run on the track! I love it!

Great way to spend an afternoon with family and friends! If you are lucky, you can even watch Olympic speedskating practice.

This is a really good place to train for a marathon when the weather outside doesnt allow it. Ive been very happy with my sessions here.

I enjoy spending time here with my friends, theres hockey games that often go on in the middle of the ring while skating.

Very elegant and nice establishment. Ive never been Ice skating before but they definitely made a great first impression on me. The people there were so nice and helpful and answered every single question I had with a quick and swift response. Thank you so much. : )

Fun place to go skating. Sundays the ice can be a little rough but overall nice facility.

Great experience. It was my 1st time but its also not my thing but I loved seeing the little kids do their thing..

Great place to get a run in when the weather doesnt cooperate.The track is more than a quarter mile, so you can do a long run without feeling like youre on a hamster wheel and the cool temps are perfect for running.

So much fun!! Options to ice skate or walk(there is a walking path around the whole skating rink)

Great facilities.

Great Ice skating facility. Best indoor running track in the state.

Warning: IT IS COLD! Of course, it’s a skating rink...but I mean COLD! During the summer there are two sheets and an indoor track. . During the winter there are two sheets and a speed skating rink.No bar. No food. Just vending machines.

Awesome facility. What a gem!!!

Awesome facility for all kinds of skating. I also love the run/walk track. We have found that their ice availability is typically more plentiful during the school year, when the oval is in, the ice times during the summer can be somewhat limited, but overall this is an excellent place to skate.

Running track is clean and in good shape. Plenty of room to warm up or cross train.

Used the upstairs room to hold a remembrance for a dear friend. While I didnt deal with the center myself. The room was clean and suitable. Price was good. Staff was accommodating. Made things much easier. Thanks Again.

We had an amazing time for a aurora family day

Its an olympic facility all good can ice skate here on regular days, what else? All good here

Olympic facility in milwaukee how lucky instructors for my grand child excellent wide variety of lessons and programs proud to be from milwaukee

Great place to skate! 400 meter oval open to the public as well as the running track around it.

I dont skate, but love the huge indoor running/walking track. The track is over a quarter mile in length.

Indoor track is a great place to train on snowy days. Gets very busy after 7AM.

Came for a mite hockey tournament. Stairs to access the locker rooms and back up to ice. Clean locker rooms. Good ice facility.

Amazing ice skating arena. Wish they would use the Zamboni to refresh the ice during public skate.

Very informative and friendly staffThe kids always enjoy their time at this beautiful facility

I did the half marathon here for the 6th year in a row. Great facility.

Great place to skate but what a nightmare renting skates. Staff dont care what they hand you and skates arent kept up very well with miss sized laces and skates that should obviously be replaced. The kids that work there can be irresponsible and neglectful at times. Once had to get attention of staff from phone after long period of time and there was a line. Other time 3 kids were back there joking around and ignoring customers.

Skates were nice.. had some cute female ice skaters, boys too!!

I started taking classes for ice skating and it amazing it has a track and the teachers are amazing

Great classic fun as expectee... just wish this place was beginner friendly... think twice abt bringing the little ones

I come here 6 days a week to use the running track. It is the perfect climate 50-60 degrees for runners who don’t want to be in outside in frigid winter temps. I love this place and it’s never too crowded.

Great ice, great staff, amazing facility all in all

Havent been skating in years. Thought Id give it a try.

Im bad at ice skating but I had fun. Reccommend

This is one of those places that Google just does not understand Ive never been actually here. I have been to the parking lot in front I have worked on the side of this building I have never actually walked inside. I give it five stars but I dont really know if thats true! So I figure for all the hassle that Google has given me about me having been to this place I might as well give it 4 stars

I grew up skating here. My kids love it too. Whether free skating or for hockey or figure skating this is always a great place to be. And how fun to watch as people train for the Olympics here and there.

Nice for ice skating

Enjoyed family skate with my five-year old son. Met a couple of families up from Chicago. One huge oval (400 m) with two international-sized hockey rinks in the middle and a running/walking track on the outside. Theres also hockey, figure skating, speed skating, curling, therapy skating, individual/group lessons, leagues -- something for everyone. Coming from NY, the prices are great (we pay over $20 locally for 1 adult + 1 child for one meh, crowded rink). Bring your own skates or rent for a small fee. Lockers available with coins. Vending machines and a small cafe for snacks/fast food in the basement. Skate shop and hockey shop on the ground floor. Nothing fancy, but a remarkable facility, which I try to visit every time we go to MKE. Tip: Its cold on the ice, so bring a sweater or jacket + gloves/mittens. I was very glad we had snow pants for my little guy

Good place for indoor running when it gets too chilly outside.

So much fun have to try it at least once in your life

It was fun, staff is helpful for beginners and watchful too make sure the more skilled kids stay mindful of others. No shaming for those wanting to wear helmets. And others seem considerate of the newbies on the ice. Costs less if you being your own skates.

Best public open skate facility...a lot of ice for a lot of skaters!

Fun place to skate with the whole family. Sometimes a little crowded, but other than that its a great time. Has snack options also, nothing gluten-free however.

Had fun could use some better food

Everyone was very nice the students had great time

Great facility. I used their indoor running track.

There are a lot of things that a person and/or family can do at this place ... it is also one of the best places in the area for recreational adult hockey ... the facility is well managed and very easy to get to

Best rink in Wisconsin to train.

Fun all around but the place smelled of dirty socks and body order. It felt like I was back in my highschool locker room

GOOD GRP. MEETING PLACE UPSTAIRS.

Great atmosphere great time for family

Great place to learn, practice and compete ice skating

Free dsy...GreatTime top watch the young folks...

You get to skate on an Olympic track! Super cool!

USA Olympic Training Site 4 speed skaters and 4 hockey rinks very nice

We were visiting to see a local league hockey game. The center is huge! They offer a variety of activities, including open ice skate on the Olympic track and an indoor walking/running track, both for nominal fees. They have food and skate rental as well.

Its the most ghetto ice arena I have been to, and the wood bleachers stink and are illegal with no yellow caution tape on different level of steps and I went down one level accidentally and AL. Ost got hurt, a big OSHA violatjon

Fun place for public skate. They let you on the olympic speedskating long track which makes it more fun than small turns inside a hockey rink

The best place to skate!! 400 meter track of ice.. its just awesome. Super friendly staff

Staff are friendly and helpful. Establishment is clean and well maintained. Ive been here to skate a couple times with friends. If you can stand the additional cold, the slushies are pretty tasty.

Good ice. No bar near the ice rinks for beer league hockey fans

Well maintained. So big that its never seemed crowded while I was there.

Nice place to skate and take your family

The best ice in the country. Great quarter mile oval with two hockey rinks in the middle. The outside had a track for running.

One kid says 5 stars(because its SO fun). One kid says 4 (because he falls a lot)

Cool place!Olympic skater train there. BIG ice surface! You dont get a good feel for how big it is from watching skating events on TV. inside the outer ring are TWO full size hockey rinks. One star off because open public skating hours are limited. Fun to go watch trading though and see how big it is.

Nice rink. Cant wait for our daughter to start lessons.

I love the pennant ice skating rink

They have a great running track for when its too cold or too hot to run outside.

Great open skate. I really like the 1/4 mile track instead of skating on a hockey rank. Very reasonable prices.

The ultimate place for open skating!

Great place to have an Irish Dance Competion. But way too cold and no where to sit.

Great place to go running on a track in the winter months. Not expensive. Most of the staff was friendly.

Great place to go for open skate!

For hockey not the best place. WIERD set up. Plan to stand to watch the games

We went with Scouts again this year! Fun!!

One of the best indoor track for training

Great place to practice skating.

We have been to the Pettit many times however this was for a birthday party my son attended. The Pettit did a fantastic job as always.

Great place to Skate! Had am awesome time.skating with my girlfriend for the first time.

Really fun place for the kids.

SO GREAT to get to watch the trainers and do what they do with water to replace snow when there is none, is just AMAZING!!!! Just really FANTASTIC OVERALL!!!!!!

Open skate on the speed track! Really cold.
