THE SETTING

Private chalet seating beside the rink

A dedicated, private seating area provides a place to sit, eat, and drink during your reserved session — chalet seating is assigned per session and allows guests to keep food and beverage at their table.

THE FOOD

To Go from Poppy & Claro on weekdays

Guests may purchase To Go options through Poppy & Claro Monday through Friday until 7:30 PM to bring into the chalet; food and drink are permitted in the private area.

THE FINE PRINT

Short, session-based access and separate rink admission

Chalet access is sold per session; note that skate admission is not included with chalet seating, and sessions are short and focused on seated hospitality rather than skating lessons or open-skate time.

What the day feels like

What the session feels like

The experience is compact and practical: you reserve a 60-minute block for private chalet seating adjacent to the rink, settle in with brought or purchased refreshments, and enjoy a contained viewing and hospitality spot while rink activity proceeds nearby.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this private chalet suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Families and watchful guardiansA practical choice for families who want a seated, controlled space to eat and watch rink activity while keeping children nearby; the private seating works well for short visits.
2
Groups seeking a private hospitality spotSmall groups or parties that value a private area to gather, eat, and observe the rink will find the chalet format convenient; seating is per session and intended for hospitality rather than skating instruction.
3
All-ages audiencesThe offering is presented as suitable for all ages, making it a flexible option for mixed-age groups.
4
Visitors requiring on-site restroomsNot ideal for travelers who need immediate, on-site restroom access—the rink has no restrooms and facilities are across the street.
