🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families who want sheer skating space — the floor size means even busy sessions feel open. Older children and tweens with some skating experience will get the most from the expansive floor.

Looks the same as when I started going in middle school. Which was in the late 80's. Lockers are .50 and have a key. Would be nice to see updates. Definitely a staple in the community.

The staff is very rude and they do not have all the equipment to accommodate for all ages. My son is five and has never been skating before and they have no assistance to help him. I was told him that wasn’t their problem. Oh, and no refunds!! I would give this place a zero if I could, one star is to good!
