The 2 ice skating arenas i go to open in November. and one of them is outside and the other is inside, the outside one is for figure skating the inside one is for hockey, its really huge, i love the outside one more. any tips ?

1. You could buy tights,boot covers etc.
2. boot covers they come in lots of different colors blade cover skating gloves http://www.skate-buys.com/iceaccessories.html
3. Blade guards Blade covers(soakers) Gloves Tights Absorbant cloth to wipe your blades after use so that they don't rust. Legwarmers etc. maybe you could ask around your rink to see what other accesories the skaters there have. i prefer skating in indoor rinks as i feel that the ice is much smoother but that is just a personal preferance. have fun skating!
4. Ok, here's a list of things not including skating apparel you could buy to help you enjoy skating! And I had all of it in my bag at one time! Leather conditioner for your skate boots Sno Seal for the leather sole on your skates Blade guards Blade covers – terry cloth Boot covers if you scratch up your skates a lot Small towel or chamois cloth to dry your blades Terry cloth bags to store your skates in Stone to de burr your blades Screw driver to tighten your blades if they get loose Ipod or CD’s with your skate music (to play over the rink's stereo system - my rink has one in the penalty box at all 4 rinks to play program music) Lip balm Hand sanitizer Extra tights or knee hi’s Knit gloves and an extra pair Hair bands Eye drops if your eyes get dry from the cold air jump rope for conditioning ISI handbooks or USFSA rule book Notebook and pens camcorder (coaches allowed to hold on ice) camera There you go! Have fun!
5. well it depends on your budget. i would say: guards (hard for walking around in) guards (soft for storing) tights skirt/pants/dress boot covers gloves leg warmers hat PS-most ice rinks will not let you use your ipod or phone on the ice have fun
