The Ice Capades Chalet, an indoor skating rink, also opened during the METROCENTER "Salute to Arizona" fair. By the early 1980s, the facility had been renamed as the Ice Palace. It was operated in conjunction with a similar skating rink at Phoenix's TOWER PLAZA MALL.

The Ice Palace at METROCENTER closed in March 1990. It was replaced by Metro Midway & Discovery Center, an elaborate video game arcade and interactive entertainment venue. The Metroport, an aviation-themed food court and cocktail lounge, was situated on a floor above the new Metro Midway. It was expanded with new restaurants and renamed as the Food Fest.
