💬 What Visitors Say

• 💡Complete your waiver in advance before September 1, 2025 to ensure full year validity and avoid delays on arrival day, especially for birthday parties and group events.
• 💬Visit during Family Night specials for the best value on admission and food prices — multiple reviewers highlighted this as a great deal compared to regular pricing.
• 💡Book birthday parties and special events well in advance — staff goes above and beyond with attentive service, but consistency appears better when parties are pre-planned rather than walk-in visits.
• 💬New rental skates were recently purchased, so expect modern equipment, but plan for rental costs of around $5 per pair — the facility also sells beginner skating gear if you prefer to invest in your own equipment.
• 💡Put phones away while skating — reviewers noted safety concerns with phone use on the rink floor, including distracted skaters causing collisions. Enforce this rule on your kids to avoid accidents.
