The first time I went with my family and loved the place very organized, spacious, cozy and familiar, the food is great and price good. I'll be back for sure

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for school-age kids and tweens who want skating plus extras. Birthday party groups are well-catered with packages that bundle skate time, food, and games. Toddlers and young children can join with parental supervision on the rink. Adult skate nights run separately, so check the schedule to pick a family-oriented session.

Attended a fundraiser here. My kids had the time of their lives. You gotta spend a little, but hey. It ain’t tricking if you got it.

A horrible experience. I’m one who’s all about getting my money’s worth and I’m an extremely cheap person, so when I leave after only 30 minutes of doing something, you know it’s bad. I’ve been wanting for weeks to go skating and I finally had the time to do it. I went with my father. When you first pull up to the parking lot, it’s already not welcoming. The entrance was just a metal door like a back door to a building, but that’s not something that would throw me off. Where we signed the waivers and paid was a small narrow space that already felt claustrophobic. But what we were immediately hit with was the most ear bleeding music ever, which just got worse when we were on the floor. We paid, got our skates on and went to put our stuff in a locker which didn’t lock, that alone was a bit uncomfortable. My father said the skates were awkward and felt too wide, he also didn’t like the floor. I had no issues with the skates but I wasn’t fond of the floor either. The floor was very scuffed up, rather bumpy and hard to turn on. The worst parts definitely had to be the music and the heat. We left after 30 minutes because I was very hot and my ears hurts from the music. It was all just noise, words you couldn’t hear at all, and so loud you could barely even hear yourself talk, let alone someone else. My ears were ringing for 30 minutes afterward. The reason this even has one stars is because the shirt interactions we had with the staff was nice, the arcade games seem well, the rides smell well, and because of the price. You also can’t give zero stars. This place lives up to its cheap days such as 1 dollar Monday and 2 dollar Tuesday. It seems good for kids though, because all the kids seemed to be enjoying themselves, but this was my experience and it wasn’t worth the money, time, gas or the ringing of my ears.
