Open September – June.  Built, owned and operated by a Marion family since 1937, the Idyl Wyld has been rolling out family fun for over 70 years!  And there is plenty to do besides skating…we have an arcade complete with vide games, pool tables and ski ball.  Trade in the tickets you win for cool prizes.   Visit our website for current admission and pricing schedules.  See you on the rink!
