My kids did have a good time but customer service definitely needs some improvement. The older lady who was cashiering was very rude and dry. Maybe it was just me she didn't like because she was very nice to the customers in front of me. It was definitely a not what you say but how you say it kind of thing. I was excited to try this skating rink because the one close to our house closed down and I had heard nothing but good things about Broadway Skateland. Not sure we will be going back, which is sad because this is the only skate rink in Mesquite. read more

So the old man that works the DJ booth threw away our pictures of water that we were drinking and he knew it was ours cause we were sitting right next to the Dj booth and we paid money for him and so whenever we ask for him back, he gave us lemonade instead of water and we don't like lemonade. read more

They threw away all my purchased items and didn't give me a refund and I asked for a reimbursement but they didn't give me my moneys worth

Super awesome place!! The floor definitely needs a little update but it's a wonderful place! Staff were very nice, good music, good vibe all around. We will definitely go again! read more

A fun nostalgic place to celebrate an adult birthday. Oh - and the kids had fun too!!

This place is GREAT!!! I took my VBS kids there. They are trying to revive this old school skating rink. We should support small business. They are not trying to charge a lot of money. This is a place you can afford to go too. They really treat you nice and I recommend this place to EVERYONE. Do not be a snob, support people that are giving happiness back to our community. Totally Family Friendly.... read more

Tonight was an incredibly special night. We celebrated my daughters' Sweet 16 birthday here Dad's Broadway Skateland! I have to tell you the owner is an incredible human being. Very accommodating. Lended his expertise in how I should set things up and how he can assist in me in getting it done. His workers are incredible as well! Very helpful and kind... we had about 100 people at our party and everyone sincerely enjoyed themselves! Having a facility like this make it really easy... Let me highly recommend this venue for your parties or civic organizations gatherings! You'll be glad you did! We certainly are!! read more

Wasn't impressed and no skate buddies for small children. It was air conditioned but skates were worn out. read more

Broadway Skateland - Not impressed, good price but no buddy skater devices for little ones. Skates were real loose and wheels tapered, hard to stay straight. - Skating Rinks Near Me - Mesquite, Texas

Take cash!!! Took my daughter & her friends there for her birthday. They have a snack at but it's cash only. So, you get the total, walk to the front, wait for the guy to run your credit card again, take the receipt to the snack bar then get your food. Oh, if you want pizza, that's $17 for a large that is ordered from a pizza place & will be delivered in 30-55 mins. A girl showed up late & her father was yelled at by the man at the front. Be warned!!! The place is decent, Bathroom smells of strong baby powder to cover the urine smell that has probably seeped into the floor over the years. Staff was nice & there were several parties going on & the staff was great!! read more

If you were like me back in the 80s, you lived for those roller skating birthday parties. Back when in-line skates were just a pipe dream, we did our best attempts to jam skate on our four wheelers to the likes of Madonna and Wham! Dads Broadway took me back to those days...had I had grown up in the boonies. Honestly, the folks at Dads Broadway are super friendly and the rink is pretty spacious. It's just that its location isn't all that convenient or appealing. When we rolled in on a Friday night, we honestly thought we stumbled on a giant metal shed with a half lit sign that says "Skate" on it. There were maybe a dozen or so middle school kids making circles on the giant wooden rink. The place looks and feels old. If you want to skate back in time, this is definitely the place to hit up. You and your grown friends can virtually own the rink and hokey poke your way around the block. There aren't a lot of other entertainment options around so if you hit this place up, you're coming for the skating. I understand there's some roller derby action happening at Dads Broadway from time to time. Now that's worth making a trip out to Mesquite for! read more

So much better than Aloha. Its sort of weird like 1 lady said, it's like being sent in a time machine back to 1976. Sadly i can only give 3 stars because, like Aloha, I was digusted to the point of holding my breath in the restroom....the urine smell was overwhelming. I dont know why a place this old cant close for a couple days in a row and paint, fix, repair, update, scrub and clean!!!! No excuse at all for such a nasty bathroom. Really gross. read more

I love this rink - Dad's is awesome! Dad (Randy) always has time to help a gal out with her wheels or offer advice on gear... plus, the conversation in itself is worth it. Family night on Thursdays... my kids always loved it. Plus, the place is cool enough to have roller derby practice at, right? read more

A friend hosted an '80s night skating fundraiser here & we all had a blast. Thanks to Dad's for opening your doors to us & keeping us supplied with great tunes all night! Yea, the place is a little old, but most rinks have aged along with those of us that use to frequent them on a weekly basis. The rink space itself is big & there's plenty of places to park your tush once you've finished skating it off. All of the workers were friendly & even the skates were in decent shape. As a whole, the floor itself was in alright shape, so at least we weren't dodging holes or soft spots. The only down side: yucky bathrooms. I'm holding it next time, for sure. Again - thanks to the staff for hosting the fundraiser & providing great entertainment. :) read more

This is one of my favorite skate parks and I'm talking about FAVORITE cause the floor in the rink is so smooth and the game section is the best and smart for them for the vending machines but the restroom yeah idk about that but this place was still a good place and I found this outside the rink read more

Broadway Skateland - It was a baboon outside - Skating Rinks Near Me - Mesquite, Texas

Had never heard of this place but found it while looking for places for my nieces Sweet 16 party. So took my niece one Friday night to check it out before booking the party. Your typical "old" skating rink but not too shabby. So she liked it and we went ahead and booked her party that night. $50 deposit on a 2hr $400 private party which we later added an additional hour for an extra $150. Asked about bringing our own food and could we pick the music and the lady was very nice and said yeah and we even talked with one of the djs and told my niece she could just make her own playlist on Spotify and they could play it straight from her phone. Fast forward to party day I arrived the owner "Dad" an older man was there greeted us and we began to set up food/decorations. The snack bar helper introduced herself and let me know only I could ask for the pitchers of drinks which were included in the package and I could add someone else, so I added my brother. Which I feel was an inconvenience because while trying to greet people and also enjoy the party myself the drink pitchers went empty a couple times when the snack bar helper was literally just standing there doing nothing. I think she could have kept the pitchers full and when I reached my 10 free then asked me if I wanted to purchase more. Then 10 mins before go time the Dj tells me the owner "Dad" doesn't allow music with cursing which eliminated over half of my nieces playlist. Ok I understand you may not agree with music with cursing during your regular business hours but I'm paying $550 for a private party, I think you should play what I want. Went and talked to him and he said definitely still no.Blew it off since it was lil to late to do anything and just told the Dj he could just play the music all night and he "Jammer" did well considering. The bathroom was disgusting I was told by several guests, I did not go so I can't confirm or deny. Then "Dad" comes over mid way through the party and tells me to take all the candy suckers off our candy buffet table because he was worried someone would skate with it in there mouth and get hurt. Ok these were older kids with a lil common sense, I could see if they were small kids. Also the fact that no one had even started partaking of the candy yet but I had to remove it just to make him go away. Then afterwards I find out several guests were told to spit out their gum at the door, some of who were adults and not skating anyway. He was very nice man and seemed geniune but he should take several steps back and try to be less "hovering grandpa" and more skating rink owner. As long as no one was breaking any rules (which we had one incident that was taken care of immediately), he should let us enjoy ourselves. Felt like we were being watched very closely and made me uncomfortable. Overall not too bad of a time though, we enjoyed ourselves, would I ever book here again Nope. read more

I have only taken my children here twice but we have enjoyed going. Both times were on a Tuesday. It's a great place for beginners. It could use a little updating but the overall experience has been great. read more

Been bringing my twins there for 3 years as much as I can . The owner by far has the children's safety first and does his very best. Great place for kids to have fun yet restrictions from a older man who should get respect from all of our children. Thank you and your staff read more

Great place to get out of the hot summer days during the week! The skating floor is clean and has great grip for all levels of skating. Lessons are offered as well! Bring your own skates or rent roller blades or quads. Excellent place! I won't take my kids anywhere else. read more

I really hate this place, today my brother had an accident and they did not do anything or call an ambulance they were not even going to look at what happened I really think they need more experienced people who can help children and protective equipment read more

Took my daughter here and she had a blast! We decided to go ahead and book her birthday party here. The reservation was very easy and the lady was extremely friendly. Looking forward to the pizza party! read more

I've hosted a few kids birthday parties here. It's reasonably priced, spacious and always a good time. "Dad" is friendly and helpful. The snack bar is nice and they have a few arcade games also. read more

Talk about old school skating rink...this place will bring you back to your childhood days when you had birthday parties and school fundraisers!!! From the aesthetics of Dad's, it's been around for awhile and the interior and exterior are all dated but that's what's so genuine about this skating rink. I came here for a private birthday party where we rented out the entire rink and I must say.....it was pretty awesome because it wasn't crowded and I wasn't trying to dodge little kids here and there. The workers are nice and skate around with you. They have a good playlist of top songs (not sure if they have the music or if we brought in the songs). All in all - good wholesome fun! read more

Took our boys here Sunday. Needs some cosmetic work AC needs to be fixed. But the music played was good. My boys had fun.

Worst rink in Texas. Floor looks like it was ran down by a zamboni. Would never come back

We recently visited Dallas from out of state and were in need of something to occupy our 7 and 9 year old girls. Temperatures were in the teens and they needed to get some energy out! A Google search produced Dad's Broadway Skateland and we headed out with hopes of wearing out the kids. Dad's did not disappoint! It was just like I remember my childhood skating rink being and everyone was so friendly and helpful. Not only did we have a great time and tired girls when we left, but their Sunday prices were a third of what we are used to paying in the Nashville, TN area. Overall a great time for a fair price!! read more

This place is located in a not so nice area, and is in desperate need of a refurbishment. The restrooms are smelly and filthy. You will want to take a shower afterwards. 1 hour after purchasing soft drinks and chips from their cafe for the kids, one of the kids working there informed us we could not bring in any outside food or drinks. We had 2 water bottles that we take everywhere. I guess their policies are in need of an upgrade too. The kids enjoyed the rink itself and the music. Off to find a different rink for the kiddos. read more
