Classic roller skating rink with maple wood floors, arcade games, and party packages. Great for casual family skating, though lessons and customer service can be inconsistent.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

This retro roller rink works well for casual family skating and birthday parties, offering a clean facility with good atmosphere. However, parents should be cautious about skating lessons and prepared for potentially inconsistent customer service, especially during busy periods when staff may be overwhelmed.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Avoid skating lessons - multiple parents report poor instruction quality and inattentive coaches despite high fees ($95+ per child)
⏰Expect to pay around $22 per child for general skating admission
🎟️Visit during less busy times to avoid overcrowding at the small entrance area
πŸš—Be prepared for potential staff attitude issues, particularly at skate rental counter

β€œVery rude front staff. Got my kids for skating coaching lessons for $95+ tax per child. Coaching looked like a joke.. No dedication, no attention to any students, not even for little ones. They are just left alone to figure out skating by themselves, after paying almost $300 as fees for multiple kids. Felt like a rip off and absolutely non-professional and non-ethical. Their answer? They are short staffed! Then why take huge money from people and start classes if you don't have staff to teach? What happened to Work integrity and Coaching morales? It was a total chaos with so many students left clueless.. Very bad place to learn skating, to say the least. Management, if you're reading this, PLEASE have some respect for students, their parents and their time, energy and hard earned money.. πŸ™β€
