Air quality: Really bad fumes.
Ice: Hard, fast, and loud. It felt a bit bigger than NHL sized.
Location: Convenient to the center of Christchurch. It's hard to find. It's just past a petrol (gas) station. Not near major tourist attractions on the South Island of New Zealand. Easy parking.
Building: Odd modern architecture. The ceiling is Chalet style, which is presumably why it's called "Alpine Ice" but otherwise it has a more modern look than most rinks. There is a large entry area where people can line up but can't sit down. Apparently this is so that they don't have to open until just before public skating starts.
Bathrooms: Poor condition.
Price: Public skate was really cheap. (11.50 NZD = 7.73 USD)
Snack bar: Food and alcohol for sale.
Lockers: I think I saw some.
Overall, I'd say this is one you could skip visiting.
