Lovely setting, too many people!!

We went on Sunday afternoon - and while it is one of the loveliest settings and the staff on the ice were friendly, there were far too many people on the ice. I think the company running it are being too greedy selling that many tickets per session - there should have been half the number or at most two-thirds. At other rinks I've been to good skaters (of which I am not one) can whizz round everyone else, but I didn't see anyone going very fast, there just isn't room. Another gripe is that they charge £5 to hire the penguin stablisers for small kids (unlike Somerset House and other places - last year anyway). When I complained that this was not advertised I was told it was on their website, but have just looked on both Nat History Museum website and Ticketmaster one and can't see any obvious mention of a charge - only that you have to book them. Other than that it is very atmospheric, nice having the cafe balcony overlooking the rink too. Last thing - they gave me the wrong shoes back at the end, need to be a bit more on the ball about that. Overall Somerset House was better.

I've skated at the Natural History Ice Rink for a number of years now. It has been my favourite rink as the location is very atmospheric with lots of fairy lights. However I'm not sure I'll be going again as last night there noticeably more people on the ice which made it very difficult to get round.

Best day out - so Christmassy

Went this weekend to skate and the setting is spectacular. The Christmas tree in the centre is a perfect photo backdrop. Skate at night for the best Christmassy feel because of all the fairy lights plus then you can hang out in the bar which is quite quiet so a great place to go and chill after skating. A must do in London!

I've been to all the big ice rinks in London and this is definitely one of the best.

Friendly staff, and really good value (if you go for the morning session you can skate for over 3 hours for the price of one 50 minute session).

Although it was my first time to ice skate, I have found it challenging and scary. Managed to finished one lap of the rink but I was holding the ledge all throughout..oh dear!!

We took our 4 year old son for skating on saturday 17th , it was first time for us aswell
and we were disappointed very mutch. The staff was rude and not willing to help,
the penguin had to be paid in advance so he missed out , the small icering was very ruff,
and after we finish had to wait 20 min. to get our shoes back because we did not buckle them up!!!
It was our first time how are we supposed to know , there were no sings anywere.
And the loilets are the filthiest I have ever seen!
Go somewhere else!!!

Magical setting and a fun activity which is brilliant for Christmas. I would have really enjoyed this, (as I have done in previous years), but I think far too many tickets had been sold for the session. I understand that every extra ticket sold brings a little more profit, but I won’t be attending again. All one can do is skate laps and there is no real room for anything else. It also made me slightly nervous with lots of less experienced skaters crashing around you. Unfortunately I would not recommend this event again, unless less tickets were to be sold.

It could have been good but I'll never know as we didn't realise you had to book the penguins before you got on the ice. My 4 year old daughter who couldn't skate was so excited about the penguins - which help children get around the ice. when we got on the ice and asked to use one and was told that you had to book it the whole day fell apart. She was inconsolable and couldn't stand up on her skates.. I went to the desk but they said all the penguins had been taken. so we trudged back home after a very expensive and unhappy family outing. Maybe we should have paid more attention to the small print. Please, if you have small children - book a penguin.. not sure how you do it but just book one if you can when you book your tickets. It will transform your family day out into one of fun and festivity!

I came here on a date and I loved it - was a really unusual way to get to know someone!

I'm not a very good skater and haven't done it very often, but there were loads of beginners around so I didn't feel out of place.

The staff were helpful and it wasn't too crowded - amazing location too! Went for drinks & dinner afterwards - great experience!

Every year when autumn rolls around i look forward to the chill in the air and getting on the ice! A great romantic treat or fun for a group. I ve been with Girlfriends and my Boyfriend. Different every time but always fun and guaranteed to be a time you'll remember, even if it is just because you are bruised all over!

I'm looking forward to heading down to the Natural History Museum Ice Rink again in December, it feels kinda wrong to go any earlier to such a Christmassy event!

Went last year with a group of girlfriends and, apart from the bruised bottoms, we had a lovely time. Would recommend to anyone as a fun grownup festive evening out.

My boyfriend and I went to the National History museum ice rink last year and absolutely loved it. I had never been skating before and was a bit nervous. The staff were excellent and gave me alot of guidance. I noticed how attentive they were with novices and children. We had a brilliant time and will 100% be coming again this year.

Love love love the Ice Rink at the Natural History Museum.
I've been to a few across the Capital (a yearly ritual to get me in the Christmas mood!) and overall I prefer it to Somerset House and Tower of London.

The location is stunning and although it gets busy they don't pack too many people onto the ice. It's also really close to the tube which is a bonus.

I can recommend the hot chocolate too by the way - especially if it was as freezing as it was when I went last year. They have a decent cafe/bar to warm yourself up in.

If you want to go somewhere that screams Christmas, book it!

I would only recommend this ice rink to those who don't cling to the edge. for beginners like me and my friends it was virtually impossible to skate near the barrier as the ice was not smooth AT ALL. had hills and was slushy.

Went with a group of friends to celebrate fireworks...ice rink was more like a lake completely water logged

No refund given, rude staff & poor management

I would not recommend it and will never return. Tower Hill is much better

Two years in a row i have been to the Natural History Museum Ice skating we absoloutely love it, its one of our favourite places and for us its romantic and a great laugh.
Its nice to be able to walk around the Museum, then having a hot drink at the cafe overlooking the rink before having a skate around the rink.
There is a photographer there that takes pics if you want him to and then you can have it made into a keyring and a photo to take home with you its a lovely memory.

Its really fun, and, there is a nice green and blacks hot chocolate and coffee stall. Also when you are on the ice, you can get your photo taken, and after the skate you can veiw and buy your photo, and you can get it in a keyring and a snowglobe!!!!!!
There are really nice ice marshalls, who give you advice on how to skate if you want.
My one bad point is the toddlers area. You have to skate 80% of the way round to get to it and it is easyer to skate on the main area!!!!
Very worth the money and the skates are included in the price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a nice cafe above the rink so you can look down while you are eating.
