As well as your regular skating there’s a penguin club for kids and special sessions for those in wheelchairs and with additional needs. You can add afternoon tea, a glass or two of bubbly and dinner to your skate if you want to treat yourself (or someone else). Mondays through Thursdays, students with NUS cards can also enjoy a free drink at the bar (though not between Dec 12th and Jan 6th.
Skate sessions are 50 minutes long and run from 9am to half-past midnight, with the earlier sessions and the very latest sessions being a couple of pounds cheaper. On off-peak dates these prices are £12.65 for the cheaper sessions and £15.95 for the regular ones. On weekends and all days during the peak times (from Dec 8th–Jan 6th)these prices go up to £15.95–£17.05 espectively.
The 2021/22 season will be the last for ice skating at the Natural History Museum as the area currently used for skating will be converted into a five-acre garden intended as a hub for urban wildlife.
