Ice-skating World Record Attempt

Get behind the last man standing and help smash the current record for the Longest Conga Line. Head out on the ice with Australia's first Winter Olympic gold medalist Steven Bradbury who will be leading the conga line.

If you are a bit shakey on the ice, take advantage of the free beginners ice skating lessons every day of the school holidays, held four times a day!
Check the website for times and make sure you get there early as places are limited.
