★★Featured review by NICKIE T

Unfortunately I'm not impressed. The price to get in was not worth it. Not only didn't I skate the is limited seating and no snack bar. To watch my niece skate cost me $14. They get 2 stars for the new outside and new inside but that's it.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for local DC families in Southeast who want an accessible, community-focused rink without the crowds of downtown venues. The renovated facility is the draw — bring snacks from outside as food options on site are sparse. Spectators accompanying non-skating family members should seating is sparse.
