Hundreds of people attended the launch of TT’s first ice rink and snow park in La Romaine.
Ice Caribbean Entertainment District (ICED) owns the venue.
The ICED facility’s debut was widely publicized on social media on Thursday. A sizable crowd gathered outside the facility, which is located on the Southern Main Road, ahead of its scheduled 3 p.m. public opening on Friday.
The building has three levels. The second and third floors each include ice skating rinks for youths and adults.
ICED advertises ice rink experiences for teens and adults on its website. Each of these items costs $85 for 20 minutes of ice time.

Both rinks’ surfaces are likewise made of actual ice.
Elvis Stojko, a Canadian World Figure Skating champion and Olympic medalist, is mentioned as an ICED brand ambassador.
Stojko remarked on the company’s website, “Canada has a rich heritage in winter sports like hockey and figure skating, so for me to have the chance to share my passion for the ice with Trinidad and Tobago is an amazing opportunity.”
