$125 Per person

"Have you always dreamed of driving a Zamboni? Then this experience is for you," they said on their website.

The classes are located in Hamilton, Ontario, and come with different elements including learning fun facts about Zambonis and how the ice is maintained on the rink.

You also get a photo of yourself featuring the cool vehicle to remember the day.

If you go alone, the lessons will set you back $125. However, if you come in a group and book four people or more you will only have to pay $100 each.

Participants must be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver's license in order to operate the vehicle. You will also have to wear a CSA-approved helmet and sign a liability waiver, according to the website. 

If you see yourself hopping on a Zamboni and smoothing ice like a pro you can sign up for the class on their website when the course becomes available.
