Return of ice skating in Buenos Aires

In the 80's there were quite a lot in Buenos Aires but after the economical crisis and energy problems they disappeared. But now they come back. Places to go ice skating in winter. A year ago they opened The Ice Planet in Avellaneda and a few months ago Alpina Skate in Flores (my old neighborhood) under the name El planeta de hielo which also means Ice Planet actually. It costs 15 pesos per hour (quite a lot!) unless you bring your own skates. I wonder how many people have skates on their own. And where would one buy them! I never saw them.

But certainly it's a lot of fun!
