Strong pick for families with beginner skaters of any age. Learn-to-skate classes are specifically praised for helpful instructors. The party room makes it a practical birthday party venue. Younger children benefit from the structured lesson programs rather than open public sessions.

“Love this place. First it's open year around, second it offers adult classes with the most helpful and fun instructors. A small coffee shop and free parking (some is just not super close, you need to park at Millennium when the local area is full). Thanks JRCA 💕”
