My friends and I came here for the first time, and we had such a fun experience! This place is located in the same parking lot as Orchard Church, so it was easy to find.
When you first walk in, it's definitely a "wow" moment. The place is huge and there's so much to look at. There is security at the entrance. They asked to check my bag, which I didn't mind. They don't allow outside drinks. One of my friends had a stainless steel water container, and security just asked her to open it before letting her through. Another friend had to throw away a disposable water bottle.
The pricing is honestly very reasonable. Unlimited play is about $30, and unlimited play with re-entry is $40. They also offer a military discount, which is a nice bonus.
If you're coming to skate, they have both roller skates and rollerblades available. They don't carry half sizes, though. To rent skates, you'll need to leave your ID along with your first and last name and phone number. They keep your ID safely in an envelope until you return the skates.
The arcade alone is worth the price. There are so many games--classic arcade games, vintage machines, bowling, boxing, punching machines, and so much more--and almost everything is included with admission. I was honestly impressed by how much there was to do.
They also have an outdoor area with additional arcade games, vending machines, and plenty of space to hang out.
The food surprised me in the best way. There wasn't much of a line, but the wait was a little longer than expected. Everything came out hot and fresh, though, so it was worth it. I ordered fries topped with nacho cheese and bacon, and they were delicious. I also got the piña colada slush, which tasted really good. The only thing I noticed was that it had quite a bit of pulp, so the texture was a little unexpected.
The skating rink is really spacious with lots of seating around it. We went on a Sunday around 5 p.m. It was definitely popular, but it never felt overcrowded. There were probably around 20 people skating, so there was plenty of room to practice.
If you're new to skating, this is a great place. You can practice along the walls, and many people do. You can also skate slowly in the center under the disco ball while getting comfortable. There is always an employee on the rink helping keep everyone safe, and when I asked one of the employees for skating tips, she was incredibly kind and helpful.
They do have a few rules that help keep everyone safe. You can't skate against the flow of traffic, and they enforce it. I was also told they're pretty strict about keeping skates on during line dances instead of switching to shoes. There are lockers available for free, although you'll need to bring your own lock if you want to secure your belongings.
The interior is one of the coolest parts of the whole place. It's colorful, psychedelic, and filled with awesome anime artwork. Everywhere you look there's something interesting to see.
They also have pool tables, a Photo Booth (about $7 for four photo strips), and prize games that require additional payment if you want to win stuffed animals or other prizes.
The only reason I'm giving this place a 9/10 instead of a perfect score is the music. Everything else was amazing, but the playlist just wasn't the vibe. It was a mix of different genres that didn't really keep the energy up on the skating rink. I think having a stronger DJ or better music selection would make the experience even better.
Overall, we had an absolute blast. We left exhausted in the best way possible, and every one of us said we'd come back. If you're looking for a fun place to skate, play unlimited arcade games, eat good food, and spend a few hours with friends or family, I definitely recommend checking this place out!
