Carmel Live

About

Carmel Ice Skadium is an indoor arena with two NHL-sized rinks in a 65,000-square-foot building. Unlike the outdoor rink at Carter Green, it runs all year. It also has a snack bar, party rooms and a pro shop.

Families will mostly come for public skate, which is open to adults and children. Rental skates and beginner aids are available if you ask. Cosmic Skate, with dimmed lights, special effects and music, usually runs on Friday and Saturday nights. The rink also offers Learn to Skate lessons, hockey clinics and camps, adult hockey, open hockey for ages 18 and over, freestyle ice and Stick N' Puck.

History

The Skadium has been open for more than 50 years. The building was sold to an affiliate of Podell Partners, a Carmel real estate firm. After the sale, Spectate Group, part of the Nicholas Family of Companies, took over running the arena on July 14, 2026. The new operator is turning the arcade into food and drink options.

When to go

Public skate times change from day to day. Listed sessions in the summer of 2026 included weekday sessions in the late morning or afternoon, weekend afternoons such as 2 to 4:15 p.m., and Cosmic Skate from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. When we checked in early November 2026, the online calendar showed sessions only through early September, so call the rink before you drive over.
