★★★★★Featured review by Michael Schmelz

District tryout for Quebec bound Peewee team (New Jersey or Philadelphia) plenty of parking as the property has lots on each side of the building, plus a very large lot across the street. Large entryway with monitors for ice schedule and locker assignments. Proshop is off the lobby. Large selection of various things hockey reasonably priced. Also off the lobby is a good size place to eat. Many items to choice from with tables overlooking rink 1 and 2. The lockerooms are a good size for 20 to 30. Bring a jacket. They covered the aluminum bench seating with thin blue plastic sheets which helps with keeping your butt warm. Large section and plenty of space to sit. Ice was well maintained. Bathrooms where clean. Overall a good experience.

The high-quality ice, exceptional food court, and clean facilities make it worth the cost for special occasions, though the $25 public skating fee may deter budget-conscious families from regular visits.

The skating and staff experience was great, but what realy took me by suprise was their food court. The burgers and fries tasted better than some of bars and restorants ive been to. These guys must have a gourmet chefs and to top it all of their hot chocolate is to die for... Starbucks hot chocolate is not this good. Cant wait to be back

Best indoor skate rink we’ve been to thus far in NJ. Significantly better than Montclair state uni and another one they have in the town of Montclair. Very affordable also. Not crowded. Well serviced. Ideal place for public skating.
