★★★★★Featured review by Joe H

Great local ice rink. Signed my son up for Learn to Skate lessons. After the first week he is whizzing around the ice like a seasoned pro. Great coaches for the Tot Groups. Mike with the Zamboni is a top notch guy, very helpful and friendly. Open skate gets very busy when we were there. Lockers are available if needed. Snacks and drinks are available there as well.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

This is an excellent budget-friendly option for families wanting to try ice skating or enroll kids in lessons, with patient staff and skating aids for beginners. However, be prepared for a somewhat worn facility that feels dated, and research parking carefully to avoid tickets.

“Came for a bday party. Our first time there. It was Really easy to get skates for kids and adults. Loved that there was staff on the ice helping first time skaters. There were TONS of skating assists that every kid who needed on, had one. The Private celebration area was upstairs. That had lots of table seating.”

“Wonderful cheap experience for ice skating. $12 for all day skating is a steal!!!! I really enjoyed how helpful the staff was and also how quick the first aid came to check up on you if you fell. I promise you this is a great place to go if you want to go ice skating.”

“Staff are very nice and attentive and its cheap. However the venue is in relatively bad shape and needs considerable maintenance: everything looks dirty, feels old and worn out. The paint is falling off walls / ceiling, there's scratches all over the furniture, bathroom is dirty.”
