If you're looking to for a nice, affordable, not very crowded place to have fun and spend time with your friends it's a perfect place for you.

Insider tip how to get to SOSiR
It's located near Bazar (aka Polenmarkt), about 2.5 km from the Polish-German border (Grenzbrücke). You can easily reach it BY BIKE, just ride it along the river or you can take the BUS 983 from Frankfurt in the direction Słubice Dworzec Autobusowy, get off on Aleja Niepodległości and have a short walk.

The Ice Ring is open in autumn and winter, 7 days a week from 11:00 to 20:30. It's covered so you can visit it even if the weather outside is not great, is quite big (20mx40m) and has a locker-room. Last season (2017/2018) I visited this place very frequently (at least once/twice a week) because I really enjoyed skating in this place to TOP40 music. During evening hours there were never more than 15 people.

Periods: 11:00-12:30, 13:00-14:30, 15:00-16:30, 17:00-18:30, 19:00-20:30
Notice that Mondays and Wednesdays the last period is reserved for hockey practice.

A ticket with student discount costs on Monday-Thursday 2 € (2.50€ without discount) and on Friday-Sunday 2.50 € (3€ without discount) for one period (1.5 hours). If you need to rent ice-skates it costs 2.50 € for a period. If your skates need sharpening you can do it there for 5 €.

The open-air swimming pool is open in July and August, 7 days a week, 10:00 to 18:00. It's a really nice place to spend time during sunny days. There are 4 different pools - 2 for small children, one for non-swimmers (1.2m) and one Olympic-sized pool (50 m long, 1.4 m – 1.9 m deep).
In addition to the pools, there is also a 'beach' place where you can rent chairs, beach umbrellas and tables for a very low price. There are also toilets, changing rooms and a small café.
A ticket with student discount costs 0.50 €, without 1.25€

Mini-golf is a fun game you can play with your friends and family. I find it really relaxing, because it's all about focus, strategy and being precise. The mini-golf place is open from 31st of March to 30th of October, 7 days a week, 10:00 to 18:00. There are 9 different stations, some of them are quite challenging.

Indoor activity
Address: Ziegelstraße 32, 15230 Frankfurt (Oder)
Opening hours: Tuesday & Thursday from 6:00pm - 9:00pm, Saturday from 2:00pm - 5:00pm
Website Die Kletterhalle
Phone number: +49 175 3431303

Description:
The climbing gym is located nearby the centre of Frankfurt (Oder) in a business park. It is a little bit hard to find, but that makes it a real insider tip! The climbing gym is managed by the German Alpine Club and offers training for you to get a "Kletterschein". It is well-suited for first-time climbers and the necessary equipment can be rented on the spot. The club also organizes many different climbing-events like climbing-trips and outdoor climbing events. However, it should be considered that the gym is only opened on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. But an interesting fact is that larger groups can make a reservation on individual dates to have the climbing gym all to themselves. For people who prefer to be in the open air the "Kletterwald Bad Saarow" could be a good alternative.

CINESTAR FRANKFURT ODER
Cinema
Address: Große Scharrnstr. 68-71, 15230 Frankfurt (Oder)
Opening hours: Depends on the program
Website CineStar
Phone number: +49 451 7030200

Description:
Located at the Brunnenplatz in the Center, the Cinestar Frankfurt Oder allows people to dive into another reality. Offering a wide range of the latest movies and a variety of snacks, it's the perfect place for a relaxing evening. Ticket prices are between 7 – 8€ for a 2D movie and 10 – 11€ for 3D. Tuesday is "Kinotag" and you save 1€ on your ticket. If you're a frequent cinema visitor you might consider buying the 5-star-ticket. It is is valid for five films of your choice - any day, in all seats and also for extra length films. You can get it for 35€ at the counter or online. The cinema opens 30 minutes before the first movie starts. Another option is the The CineStarCARD which you can get for free. It keeps track of your visits and makes your 11 th visit free... and you also save on ticket and snack promotions! Occasionally special events such as the "cinelady" take place, where you get a free prosecco and a free copy of the cosmopolitan magazine. Let's be honest: a small laptop screen is nothing compared to the cinema experience with maximum sound and all the trimmings. Movies can only be effective when the screen is big enough and the sound is really good. Asthetes and cineastes know what I'm talking about. So what are you waiting for?!
