about Compuware Arena:
Compuware Arena is a large ice arena in the far western Detroit suburb of Plymouth. The facility is home to the junior hockey club the Plymouth Whalers, the Detroit Compuware AAA Youth Hockey Club, Detroit Catholic Central High School hockey team, among others.
Kids' sports opportunities abound at the arena: there is a noncompetitive hockey league for children ages four to 10, figure and hockey ice skating lessons, and skating camps and clinics offered by the Plymouth Whalers hockey staff and players.
Parties:Compuware Arena offers several party options (for a minimum of eight people) that include food and beverages (choices include pizza, chicken strips, or hot dogs with fries or chips), plates, cups, and napkins. You may bring in your own cake or cupcakes. A $25 nonrefundable deposit is required.
Throw an Open Skate Party during any open skate time for $10/person ($6 for nonskaters), which includes the items listed above plus skate admission, skate rental, and 2 1/2 hours in a viewing area. The birthday child gets two skate rentals and two open skate passes for future use.
Have a Whaler Game Party for $14/person, which includes the items listed above plus an executive reserved game ticket and a visit from Shooter, the Whalers mascot. The birthday child also receives four passes to a future Whalers game. The party begins 1 1/2 hours before the start of the game. The full-service restaurant Ginopolis' on the Ice is located in the arena and offers banquet facilities for larger parties.
May through September, the Arena turns its parking lot into a three-screen drive-in movie theater.
tips:
Before Whaler games, get the kids a healthy meal at the onsite Ginopolis Restaurant instead of grabbing dogs and pop in the arena.
