The place itself is beautiful, the skating rink is large, you can buy tickets online. That's where the advantages end. The ice is not monitored, nor is the behavior of people on the ice (for example, girls take photos right in the center of the movement, suddenly stopping, someone goes in the opposite direction, someone just across). Security guards selectively monitor outside the rink so that they do not go out on the asphalt (which they have to go out for coffee because the mats are laid crookedly), while being openly rude. There are crowds of people during the day, there are no restrictions on the number of people. At the same time, most of the rink is occupied by cleaning equipment, which just stands during the session. The rolling skates are so dead that it's high time to throw them away, and not give them out for money. There are stalls with drinks on the rink, but even the tea is as tasteless as possible (as far as you can spoil the tea). Overall, the impression is spoiled, we hope the administration will pay attention to the negative reviews and something will get better

We can say a cult sports facility., which has served for more than one generation. I wish I could have been inside. The location is excellent, it seems like the city is still there, and all the attributes of the countryside: excellent views, clean air.

On Saturday, asphalt was laid, everything was blocked for 4 hours, there were traffic jams, a crowd of people, it was cold, workers were warm from asphalt, traffic cops listened so much from drunk passengers, people did not get on their flights, in general, everyone was to blame, but not Me, so it was on Saturday they left the wedding and stood for another 4 hours in general, some emotions

Everything is on the level here. Everything is there, everything is organized! And most importantly, the ice is very slippery, as it was many years ago. Mountain water and air give such an effect (probably), but at the World Cup, everyone appreciated the ice

It was true 40 years ago, but these listed issues were relevant even 50 years ago. In the winter of 1975, I was engaged in the cycling section and since riding on the road is prohibited, the coach came up with a workout for us: we took buses with transfers and walked from the drop-off point across the ridge to the Medeo skating rink, climbed the gentle part of the ridge for 2 and a half hours, climbed to the top of the ridge, even when climbing, we could hear music, and when we climbed to the top of the ridge and the music and the beauty is indescribable, the skating rink is at an altitude of 1320 m above sea level, and we were still at the top of the ridge 200 m higher, stood admiring the views, took pictures, rested and started the descent, climbing the ridge on two legs, sometimes with the help of hands it took us almost 3 hours, and the descent at the rear point took about 10 minutes. We went to a cafe to have a snack, as the climb ate a lot of energy. We approached the skating rink, and it was closed for ice processing before the competition, looked at how the ice polishing machines work, and went to the bus stop, when descending by bus, it just lays ears like on an airplane in general, I can't describe the impressions of this workout! And down there was also a descent on three buses with transfers of 250 m, and this is much longer than the descent at the third point, since they descended the steep slope of the ridge. It's a pity that the photos have not been preserved, maybe someone from our section has left, please share!

Of the advantages, it is beautiful and monumental...of the cons...- we were on Saturday, the session started at 12, one ticket office was working, we regretted that we did not take the skates downstairs at the box office (at the box office), the skates were killed at the rental of the complex itself...and the price is 1,500 tenge per pair. There are a lot of people. If anyone is going to go for a ride, I recommend a weekday.

Very good!
There are nuances in the condition of the upper observation decks.
And the prices for restaurants and fast food are too high.
The views are awesome.

To begin with, Medeo is the pride of a beautiful city. The location is in a historically important and beautiful place. Already on the way, you are destined to get a lot of vivid emotions. The architecture is amazing, the beauty is unforgettable. The average check is 4000 tenge for a ticket to enter and rent skates in the Medeo itself. The staff knows and clearly fulfills their obligations. The surface of the rink is prepared wonderfully for each session. And after the session, you can sit comfortably and have a hearty meal in a cafe)

A good choice for a vacation. It is necessary to take into account the weather conditions. I liked the coffee in the mobile coffee shops. As they said, the special taste lies in the special roasting of the grains.

The largest alpine skating rink in the world.
Thanks to the clean mountain water that is poured into this rink, it is one of the best in the world.
Many world records (more than 320) were set on it, thanks to which it had the status of a "record factory".

The skating rink is beautiful, clean, modern. Queues move fast. But I ask the administration to pay attention to the order during skiing. Many people drive in the opposite direction or across, knock them down. There was no such thing last season, the assistant guys controlled the flow. We made comments to those who go in the opposite direction. There is no order this year.

I was there for the 50th anniversary of the Medeo rink in December 22nd. A wonderful colorful show. Our famous figure skaters have arrived. Medvedeva was riding. Admission is free. There are large parking spaces around. One of the disadvantages I remember is that there is only cold water in the bathrooms - you can't warm your hands.
Uninterrupted bus service to Alma-Ata.

A small ski resort. One of the advantages is night skiing from the very top of the mountain. Of the minuses, there are very few trails. It's fun to watch the newbies fall, of which there are a lot.

I was there in winter, I was pleased with the speed of the staff. The running dimensions of the equipment are not badly worn, but they perform their function.
The price is reasonable, you can go as a couple, with friends or the whole family

You only need to go on weekdays to ride, and then there are people, but not a lot,the ice is in good condition,there is enough parking, a lot of skate rental, there is a sharpening, of the cons we divided the day into sessions, and to be honest 3 hours of the session is not enough,it is convenient that you can buy tickets online

There is a lot of information on the Internet that the complex is open all year round. I believed it and took a taxi across the city. As it turned out, it was in vain. Nothing worked there. I went up the stairs to the top of the dam - it's generally dark there. Nothing is visible and there is not a single lantern. Such a place in the summer. Unfortunately, I have not been to other seasons.

The coolest ice rink in the world. Awesome view around, as if somewhere in the Alps. It is better to rent skates in Almaty, or have your own. Since there are a lot of people who want to, you have to stand there for a long time to rent skates. Konaev did his best

Beautiful views, decent skates (rented in front of the turnstile, a deposit is required there - a document or a phone). The ice at the beginning of the session is excellent. We were at the afternoon session on the weekend, 1.5 hours after the start of the session it became crowded and the ice became broken. I recommend going on weekdays or choosing another session. Of the minuses, the steps are not cleaned, it's scary to go down at the exit from the rink. Inside, in the locker room and in the cafe, there is no card payment, only cash (small) or caspi qr.

It was the first time, all the employees are polite, explain and help tourists, using the electronic ticket office turned out to be more convenient than queuing for the funicular. There are equipment for rent, many cafes and lifts, the skating rink is large and clean. The air is awesome, the atmosphere is even better, electric cars protect the area from pollution. A lot of additional services.

The legendary and historical place of the city of Almaty. It is considered the highest mountain skating rink in the world! A gorgeous location, just above is the Shymkent complex, you can walk to the rocky mountains. A favorite place for residents and visitors of the city. Those who have not been to Medeo have not seen beauty 🤗

To look at the mountains, it is better to go in clear weather.
