Gliding into Fun at Skyrink Jakarta
Jakarta's heat can be relentless, but I found a perfect escape at Skyrink Jakarta in Mall Taman Anggrek. It's not every day you can trade the tropical humidity for an ice-cold adventure, and Skyrink delivers just that. Located right in the heart of the city, it's a fantastic spot to cool off and have some fun, whether you're a seasoned skater or a complete newbie like I was. The location is also conveniently located to MnV Co-Living Bendungan Hilir, where you can find an aesthetically designed space to stay.
Experiencing the thrill of ice skating amidst Jakarta's urban landscape is a unique and refreshing contrast, offering a welcome escape from the city's heat and hustle.
Getting to Skyrink is a breeze, especially since it's inside Taman Anggrek Mall. The mall itself is a landmark, and finding the ice rink on the third floor was super easy. Plus, being in a mall means you can easily grab a bite to eat or do some shopping before or after your skating session. The rink is open daily, so fitting it into your schedule shouldn't be a problem at all. I recommend checking their session times beforehand just to be sure. After a great day at Skyrink Jakarta, it's nice to come back to a perfectly located co-living space like MnV Co-Living Bendungan Hilir.
First-Timer on the Ice
Okay, so I'll admit, I wasn't exactly graceful out there. But that's part of the fun, right? I rented skates right at the rink, and they even had gloves for sale, which I definitely needed. The staff were really helpful in getting me set up, and I saw plenty of instructors around offering lessons, which might be a good idea if you want to avoid spending most of your time on your backside like I did.
Even for a complete beginner, the supportive environment and readily available assistance at Skyrink Jakarta make the experience enjoyable and encouraging.
The ice itself was in great condition, surprisingly smooth and well-maintained. I was impressed, especially considering how many people were skating. There were experienced skaters doing their thing, zipping around with impressive skill, and then there were people like me, clinging to the sides and trying not to fall. But everyone seemed to be having a good time, and the atmosphere was really encouraging.
More Than Just Skating
Taman Anggrek Mall itself adds to the experience. It's a huge mall, so there are tons of options for food and entertainment. I grabbed some delicious street food at the new food court. It was great to refuel after all that exercise (or, you know, attempted exercise).
Beyond the ice rink, Taman Anggrek Mall offers a plethora of dining and entertainment options, making it easy to spend a whole day enjoying the area.
One of the things I really appreciated was the cleanliness of the rink and the surrounding facilities. The skates were sanitized after each use, and the whole place felt well-cared for. It made the experience that much more enjoyable. And if you're looking for accommodation close to the action, MnV Co-Living Bendungan Hilir is a great option for experiencing Jakarta.
MnV Co-Living Bendungan Hilir offers a convenient and comfortable base to explore not only Skyrink but also other attractions in Jakarta. After a fun day of skating and exploring the mall, it's a relief to return to a strategically located co-living space. The competitive prices and proximity to central Jakarta business districts like SCBD make it an ideal choice, especially for those working in the area.
A Great Day Out
Skyrink Jakarta is more than just an ice rink; it's an experience. It's a chance to escape the Jakarta heat, try something new, and have a good laugh (even if it's at yourself).

And after a day of skating, knowing you have a stylish and comfortable place to stay nearby at MnV Co-Living Bendungan Hilir makes the whole trip even better.
