St. Moritz Ice Rink, Indoor ice skating venue in St Kilda, Victoria, Australia.
St. Moritz Ice Rink is an ice skating facility in St Kilda with an Olympic-sized skating surface. The venue accommodates recreational skaters and competitive events year-round, serving both casual visitors and serious athletes.
The building opened as Wattle Path Palais de Danse in 1923, later became Efftee Studios in 1933, and transformed into an ice rink in 1939. These changes reflect how entertainment venues adapted to shifting public interests over the decades.
The rink attracts families and casual skaters who return throughout the seasons, creating a local social hub where people gather for recreation and entertainment. You'll find a mix of individuals learning to skate and those enjoying the ice as a regular weekend activity.
The facility offers equipment rental and lessons for skaters of all levels, from beginners to advanced. Arriving early, especially on weekends, helps you secure rental items and find available instruction sessions.
After closing in 1982, the building's distinctive neon signs were preserved and incorporated into the Novotel St Kilda hotel that was built afterward. These signs create a tangible link between the venue's past and the new structure that replaced it.
