The Aotea Square ice rink is back for six weeks.
Aotea Square Ice Rink opens to the public from today.
This year, the addition of twin 35m multi-level ice slides, which sliders ride down in inflatable tubes, will mean that both fun seekers and leisure skaters are catered for.
The rink will be open from 10am in school holidays and
12pm at other times, to 10pm, seven days a week.
It is fully covered so Aucklanders and visitors to the city can skate in any weather.
At night, when the lights come on, Aotea Square joins New York's Central Park, London's Somerset House, Vienna's Rathaus - and, of course, the courtyard of Queen Elsa's Arendelle kingdom in Frozen - in giving city dwellers a truly delightful winter wonderland experience.
For littlies, the Kids Zone gives beginner skaters a chance to find their feet in a smaller, enclosed area, before they graduate to the main rink. Helmets are available free of charge and skating frames are available for hire.
