This was a great Rainey day option during our vacation for the kids to get some of their energy out in an indoor air conditioned venue. Yes they play popular music from tik tok songs and there are mostly teenagers working here but that's what's to be expected for a skating rink. This location is smaller than the Astro skate in orlando but it was fine and we are glad to have the option! read more

This is going to come as a shock - but this place totally blows chunks. Ad someone who actually enjoys rollerskating this place is my personal hell. People will say "oh you love skating, how's the Astro?" To which I always laugh and say it's a total crap shoot. They cater strictly to kids birthdays, which they over book and can't handle the amount of people they booked. They don't have enough equipment but they're ready to charge you for said equipment before you even get through the door. It's a shame, that Astro is the only local option. read more

The place is definitely showing it's age. The skate rink seems a bit run down and neglected. Along with the decaying atmosphere, the staff, if you can find someone, are either all teenagers or unprofessional management hiding in the back. The place might be salvageable but needs investment and new management. Also agree with the others on the music, mostly inappropriate music being played, not really fitting for the ages having birthday parties here. read more

This place needs so refurbishing. We stopped in after trying to figure out where to take the kids I had some family meet up after calling and making sure they weren't busy which they said they were not. We showed and paid for skates which the price wasn't too bad even with online skates, for inside and the place was packed! After debating on leaving we decided to stay grabbed our skates and hit the floor luckily it wasn't to busy we were able to go around a couple times but there were some kids with shoes on stepping out onto the skating rink! I reported it to the front and she made an announcement but even after they still had kids out there who were very young. We stayed for a whole 40minutes then left it was just getting busier as time went on my is was nice to feel young again read more

Astro Skate - Skating Rinks Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Have been coming to Astro Skate for many years. Our most recent experience they are doing a much better job with cleanliness and have added a few video games. Better music please! Wish they would take more pride in how they maintain skates. Simply replace damaged laces so we can skate more safely. read more

Astro Skate - Skating - Skating Rinks Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

My daughters went here for a school event, dropped off by a relative. My older daughter was not skating so they would not let her in. When I called, the man who worked there said it is their rule and it's because she's not 18. When I had to leave work to come and pick her up, I tried to talk to the manager, who was an incredibly nasty woman. She said someone from my daughter's school told her she had to leave, and it's the schools rule. The opposite of what one of her employees told me over the phone. She also told my daughter she couldn't even stand in the lobby until I got there, and it was pouring rain. And the manager lied to my face and said nobody told her that, when my daughter pointed her out and said she's even the one that said it. They do not care about children's safety, honesty, or customer service clearly. read more

this is a SKATING place, not a club. there are hardly any songs to jam skate to let alone any songs that you think you would hear bettering this building. all they play is rap and hip hop. MANAGEMENT needs to come check this place because it is not it. it seems like a bunch of teenagers run this place. such a bad rep for Astro Skating. Pinellas Park is SO much better!!!!!! read more

This establishment has a very cute and old-timey feel to it. It has been around for some time and it is noticeable but I think that gives it character. When we went it was for its anniversary so they had a great deal where we each skated for $2. They have good deals throughout the week and you can find them on their weekly schedule through their website. Their schedule also lets you know when they have specific events for certain groups like adults or teenagers. This is useful to check before going with young kids because the rink can get dangerous for them in these instances. We didn't purchase food or drinks but from what I observed it is the kind you would expect at a place like this. Amusement place junk food really. They also have arcade style games and prizes. This is a great place for birthdays too if you want to reserve for an event. They play fun music and even have a disco ball above the skating rink and colorful lights. Great environment and a guaranteed fun time! read more

This place should be shut down by the authorities. I went to a member of management after I saw them selling vapes to underage children, they did not care. Then I witnessed a floor guard, flirting with underage minors. Parents really caution yourselves if you're sending your children to this location. Owner called, it's been a month without a comment or response. I have called the authorities. It's outdated, facilities stink. read more

GhEtToOoO! This place would be perfect if they played better music. Come here if you want to twerk with children to the sounds XXX music with zero sensor. Pizza was drowning is grease. Terrible. read more

I can't believe after 20 years I still know how to skate! This is a great little skating location - perfect for the beginner and great for birthday parties. They serve a bunch of different foods, have a practice area for the first time skaters, and even offer lessons and skating trainers for little ones trying to build confidence out on the floor. It was $8 to skate and a few dollars extra to rent skates. Sunday's they have a time where skating is just $1. What can you buy for $1 anymore? Energetic music keeps you moving and this is s great family activity center a close drive from downtown Bradenton. read more

Astro Skate - Skating Rinks Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

This is a fun place for people to skate at. They have trainers - I guess that is what it is called, for people that don't know how to skate- meaning rolling walkers. There is an area in the back for kids to practice skating in. I'm not thrilled with their food at the concession stand. Typical food for this kind of establishment. I do think it's a great place for children's birthday parties and there seem to be many of them. There are some hours that get busy where teenagers and adults skate fast, so if you have a child that is learning how to skate- call ahead of time to find out the slower paced hours. read more

If I want to have a nice time skating I come here. Give it a spin if you enjoy roller skating

I'm about sick of this damn place; there are not enough workers. I ordered a pizza at 7pm and had to go get a refund at 7:53 because they never made it. The cashier saw me sitting for 53 minutes and forgot? GTFOOH. I already had to speak with another employee about skipping and this the same one that was making the pizza, but they forgot? Kiss my MF ass with the bs. read more

TERRIBLE! Do not bring your kids here!! The music is so inappropriate! And there is NO railing! My daughter BROKE HER ARM HERE!!

Great birthday party plans. Kids loved it skating and eating snacks drinks and staffs was great friendly and courteous staff

I highly recommend not going to this facility. They neglect to maintain a safe environment for our children. My daughter went during the summer in June and broke her wrist from the skating rink's neglectful environment. The ceiling was leaking so they used a large garbage can to catch the leaking water. The garbage can was on the skating rink surface and in the way of the skaters. In order for one of the skaters to avoid hitting the garbage can, he bumped into my daughter which made her fall and break her wrist. I am currently in litigation over this unfortunate circumstance whereas the rink is not following through with their responsibility. Since then they still have yet to fix the issues and I now have pictures and video of four garbage cans on the skating rink surface and ceiling tiles falling. This facility needs to be closed until they take initiative to fix their building. read more

Don't bother if you have kids. They have a lot of items for sale, but ever time my daughters pick out the one they want, we are told "sorry we are out, it's only for display". Well how about selling us the display piece at full price? Nope, it's on display in case kids want it. But it's not available! Idiots. Tease the kids and leave them disappointed. That attitude of the staff and manager permeated everything. Lousy food, too loud music, etc. Finally, always out of our skate size (kids 13 and 3 are unusual?) read more

We ordered a pizza at 1:20pm, got it in before the birthday party received their 10 pizzas. The girl at the counter said it would be a few minutes, after about 45 minutes, I went up and checked. She said it will be out in a few more minutes. I went back again a half-hour later and they said they burnt it, went back again after half hour and they said that they were making it again...bottom line it came out disgusting! Almost 2 hours to get a pizza! 7 people, and four slices left over! The manager, who was extremely unprofessional, immature, trashy, kept talking over me, when I was actually trying to tell her cashier girl, not to tell people it will be a few minutes, even though it was not her fault and I agreed, she rudely cut me off and told me I was screaming at the little girl. Furthest from the truth, she threatened me that there were cameras recording me, I'd love to see the video so we can show how extremely rude she was. I have never in my whole life have ever gotten into an argument with anybody out in public, this was a disgrace! All the children I was with, were embarrassed and scared! If you know anything about the hospitality industry, you listen to your customers, you take the time to hear what they have to say, instead of rudely interrupting them. I am just floored!!! I don't know who your boss is, but they need to fire you! If you could hear what I was saying to the cashier girl, you would've known that I was not yelling at her. You are such a rockstar miss manager, probably getting paid minimum wage, see you at the next fast food establishment, kid! A roach just crawled by us! DISGUSTING!!! Roaches don't come out during the day and when there's light! That just makes me want to puke. One of your reviews from another patron: "This place is god awful roaches ants and when confronting the manager in a nice way about my disbelief she screamed ranted and yelled got in my face and threaten me like garbage never will I ever go to Astro skate again with my family I recommend stardust in Sarasota for a fun family time never go there if you want to have fun be healthy. When a roach is in you're pizza you'll believe me. Just don't bring it up to their manager Dreya she'll call the cops on you because you basically wouldn't fathom eating a roach. All the people who held that place up have been replaced Astro skate more like fuck it I'll wait" read more

This is the best place in the world. In the past two and a half years I've been working here, we have improved so much. We replaced all of our rental skates with new ones, We got our floor fixed & there have been several other updates. Overall, the staff & regular customers are all family & I'm thankful I had the chance to be apart of that change :) #astroskateordie read more

Went mid-afternoon on a Saturday with the family.....so my wife and 5 YO daughter. Wasn't crowded. These young boys on roller blades are terrors. Probably between 7-9 year olds, with no limits, full speed. Tried to take my daughters "cheat" walker, then asked my wife for $5. What?!? Good atmosphere, friendly staff, but get these wild kids in check! read more

By the referral of a friend, I took my son here for a skate lesson (for only $8). Please be advised that there is a sign on the door that they only accept cash. This is your typical traditional skating rink (nothing new or fancy); with old chewed gum stuck on benches. We were directed to the skate rentals for the lesson where we met the instructor Mr. Dick. Nice older guy who's VERY serious about what he does. This class was for ALL ages so the range was from 2yrs to maybe 40ish. Yet, in my opinion Mr. Dick was better suited to teach adults only because when teaching children you have to have more patience & can't be as harsh (younger children can be sensitive). Anyway, I liked Mr. Dick....very nice guy & he knows technique. Haven't decided yet if I feel comfortable with the group lesson or if I'd rather schedule private lessons. Either way we'll return. Also, there was a huge bouncy house in the middle of the skating rink. What was that about? Was it for a party? Was it safe & appropriate with other skating around it...IDK. read more

I really love it here. I come with my school a few times a year and they treat us like gold. Management is super nice and everything is handled well. Lots of activities for the kids besides skating. They also have great deals throughout the week. read more

Make sure you bring your own skates. Astro skate doesn't put ANY money into maintaining their skates so that they are safe. I had to get a refund and leave last time I was here because every single pair of skates I tried on were missing insoles, (your foot went right on metal) falling apart, laces cut and too short to tie, and crooked/wobbley wheels which made it impossible to even skate safely. After I exchanged a few times the girl behind the desk was like "they're all like that". Now I didn't expect them to be perfect but there was not one single pair of skates in even a fair condition?? Come on. Everybody on the rink floor were constantly tripping/falling from the rental skates being unsafe. Completely unacceptable! Put some money into fixing/replacing your skates if you're going to charge to rent them. Also, we went during the day there were lots of young children and the DJ was playing gangster rap the whole time without bleeping out the swear words. So the short time we were there my young daughter got to hear music about popping pills and getting b**ches. Unless you make some serious changes to make this a safe environment and kid friendly like it should be, because it certainly has the potential to be- we won't be back and tell everyone how this place operates. read more

TERRIBLE PLACE! They have teen nights on Friday's and Saturday's I guess 10 yr old kids can't have any fun on Friday and Saturday nights.

When you walk in all your see , hear are loud unnecessary noise and the food made me have diarrhea. When I was playing the at the arcade I took my dollar for no reason and when I talked to the manager he said there's nothing we can do and i thought yes you can you can give me a dollar. If you guys can't do that than you guys can have a healthy franchise. Oh and I saw a kid get a concussion there. Just guess what they did just guess... NOTHING! Would never recommend to anyone. I guess it was a accidental go there. read more

Attended this rink for a speed skate meet of the regular speed skating circuit, very disappointed with the snack bar not having food to last the whole meet for kids skating and the spectators. Sodas were more c02 than syrup making them taste awful. No bananas for the skaters providing them with nutrition between races which certainly parents would have purchased, I know I usually purchase a bunch supplying the team with them and usually at a price of 1.00 each, a profit for the rink since they can be purchased .29 a lb almost anywhere. Water was only available out of a vending machine which was out of bottled water. Food ie pizza and some fried foods that showed on menu were unavailable by 10:30 am customers being told they were out and the fryer was broken. Yet as the meet was winding down about 1:30 the snack bar began making pizza's for the afternoon session of regular skating will boycott this rink always from now on. read more
