Fountain Valley Skating Center

“My 8-year-old was invited to a birthday party here and we had a really good time. The rink is a nice size, not too big or overwhelming, and it was full of families which made it feel lively but comfortable. The skates were smooth without feeling overly slippery, which helped me relax and actually enjoy skating. The music had a fun 90s and early 2000s vibe, which made the whole atmosphere even better. They also played short games on the rink, which kept things engaging. It felt fairly clean overall. Lockers worked well, just know that once you reopen it, you’ll need to pay again to relock, around 25 to 75 cents. We used Groupon and paid about $9 per person, which was great. Skate rentals are $8. The menu has a good variety for families. Vegan options are limited to fries, and they do share the fryer with chicken. I honestly can’t wait to go back. It felt fun, active, and easy to enjoy with family. Not a critic, just sharing how it felt.”

“Fun spot, but I don’t really like their advertising or business model. They charge extra for Kate night in which half of the place is shut down. No food no games. Lame. They advertise falsely on Groupon, 2 for 1 at $18 (late night price) but when you show up they only allow discount for day hours which is $15. Lacks too much integrity and enjoyment for me to go back.”

“We came here on a Groupon deal, and what a gem of a place. We loved skating and enjoyed the games. Offered with winners. Getting a free drink from the snack bar. You can rent skates and come for a 90 minute skate session or bring your own if you have them. My kids enjoyed the rink and the music as well as the very nice rolling floor That is well taken care of. If you want the Groupon, you have to buy it one hour before coming. Otherwise, it will not work. The staff was helpful and friendly. They take pride and their place of business and employment. Which is always refreshing to see. I also enjoyed as a spectator that there are benches to sit on. That are the height of the rink, so you can see with ease as the kids are skating.”
