About Us
The Ice Chalet was built more than 40 years ago to provide recreational ice skating for Knoxville and surrounding communities. In addition to public sessions, we offer a comprehensive skating school program for all ages and abilities, as well as skate and accessory sales and service.
Location
The Ice Chalet is located at 100 Lebanon Street, beside The Shops at Western Plaza on Kingston Pike in the heart of Knoxville, Tennessee. Note that there is no way to get from north Lebanon Street to the Ice Chalet because of the railroad tracks. You must enter Lebanon Street from Kingston Pike.
Maps
Directions
From I-40: Take exit 383 (Papermill Road). From the West, go straight through the stoplight at the exit onto Northshore Drive, then turn left at the next light onto Kingston Pike. (From the East, turn left onto Papermill, then turn left onto Northshore at the next traffic light, and left again at the next light onto Kingston Pike.) Continue on Kingston Pike for some distance past two shopping centers and then Mayo's Garden Center on the right just before a traffic light. Lebanon Street is on the left past this traffic light -- look for the Ice Chalet sign across from Kingston Plaza and just before The Shops at Western Plaza. The Ice Chalet is located at the bottom of a hill behind a service station; it is the only building there.
From downtown Knoxville:
Drive West on Kingston Pike three or four miles. Look for Western Plaza shopping center on your right, and turn right onto Lebanon Street just past the service station.
Rink Surface
The Ice Chalet's rink surface is 75' by 175'. Dressing rooms are available, and all floors are covered with rubber matting. The average temperature in the rink area is about 50 degrees Farenheit.
Restaurants
Food and drinks are available from the Chalet Cafe, located inside our lobby, on busy evenings and weekends. This restaurant is run by RUMPS (Robert Unger Moms, Pops, and Skaters). Proceeds benefit our skaters who compete at out-of-town events. Several restaurants are also within walking distance.
Recommended and Required Clothing
Gloves are required for preschoolers. They will not enjoy themselves if they are cold. Other skaters will find that gloves and a sweater or jacket are comfortable in the rink area. Clothes should keep you warm, but also allow free movement. Skaters should wear only one pair of socks -- this allows for a better skate fit.
