“The admission fee for skating is $9/ adult; u can bring ur own skating shoes or u can rent one here. The locker is $4/ each and u will get refunded if u turn the keys back. It’s pretty a good deal. U can have the good time with family here. But it’s pity that u can’t take the photos or recording inside the skating fields.”

“The pool itself is nice, though cold. The lifeguards are pleasant enough, though none of the rest of the staff is. They do not stock sunscreen as they say, so bring your own. The indoor facilities are sketchy though functional. Rules are rigidly enforced, so plan ahead.”
