🏆 Family Action Verdict

Strong pick for families with kids of elementary school age and up — beginners get patient staff assistance and the arcade and play zone keep non-skaters busy. Birthday parties run smoothly with dedicated hosts. Teens and adults enjoy the DJ nights. Skate rental carries an additional fee on top of admission, so budget accordingly.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Skate rental is charged separately from admission — factor this into your budget before arrival.
Check the special events calendar before visiting; themed skate nights and school events can make the rink busier than a typical session.
🎟️Ask staff for beginner assistance — reviewers specifically call out helpful employees who guide first-time skaters.
🚗Birthday party packages require advance booking; the rink regularly hosts multiple parties on weekends.

I took my son to a school event here and he had a blast. It was clean, good music, lots to do and the workers were helpful.

First and foremost a worker there by the name of Josh was very very sweet kind and extremely helpful especially with assisting my son to skate Because he is a beginner. We did love it there. Just very disappointing that they charge six dollars extra on top of entry fee and a fee for renting the skates just for the kids to have a skate assist bar. Which to me Was ridiculous obviously Children are going to need help skating and they know that which is why they can use that to make extra money.
