This is a great place to have fun for everyone who is up for having a little bit of a laugh. Although the whole setting is a little grim and the whole place needs a paint job the ice rink (which is what everyone goes for) is very large and safe.
With all the needed facilities like a cafe, lockers and toilets the bristol rink is both enjoyable and cheap. In the off-peak times enjoy very few people on the rink and really let your hair down.

the bristol ice rink is brilliant for a family day out or maybe to go and have fun with friends, it is a very cheap day out also, people who love to roller blade will have a test on ice.

The Ice Rink itself is as you would expect - though the inside of the building is a little tired - but doesn't detract from the ice rink itself. However I thought it worth mentioning that there are several different types of sessions and it really does pay to attend the best one for your needs. There are 3 types:
Family Sessions: Not just for families but at this session you can only wear figure skates (none of the racing/ice hockey skates allowed). So no young boys (or girls) going 50 miles an hour past you and stopping with a spray of ice. This means that it is a great session for learning to skate - or taking your kids along to learn. This is also the session that the proficient skaters use. Its nice to watch them even if you do feel completely inadequate!
Public Sessions: Usually very busy and the session you want, if tearing around the rink as fast as you possibly can, is your thing.
Disco Sessions: No restrictions on skates but the music is very loud so its difficult to hear people talk. There are also moving coloured lights for the complete disco feel.
The website gives you a timetable of when the different sessions are. http://www.jnll.co.uk/bristol.php
One final bit of advice: If you are hiring skates wear 3 pairs of socks and get the size up from your usual size to prevent blisters.
