💬 What Visitors Say
- Rent the rolling bars ($5) if you're a beginner or bringing young children - staff reports they're essential for building confidence, and the padded walkway outside the main floor is perfect for practicing first
- Sunday Kinder Skate sessions (9:30-11am) are ideal for children 7 and under - admission is only $10 and parents can supervise from the sidelines without needing to skate
- The Sunday session from 11am-7pm offers great value at $12 admission - reviewers noted it's a solid deal and mostly attracts younger skaters, making it less crowded for practice
- The rink is smaller than expected but has rails on 3 sides and helpful staff who will go out of their way to assist - expect a friendly, intimate atmosphere rather than a large venue
- Plan a birthday party here for budget-conscious groups - non-skaters are welcome at parties at no charge, and 2-hour packages include private party room, admission, and clean skate rentals
