We went on Sunday which was gospel skate day from 1pm-330 and it is free to the community. This is every Sunday! Donations are encouraged and if you need rentals it's $3. I think that is a tenfold blessing that they do that! This will be our go to after church. It was beautiful to see families skating of all ages! Loved seeing and feeling COMMUNITY:)

They have hot chocolate for 1/2 way through the session (zamboni time) and other quick foods. I didn't have any but the kids around us were scarfing everythign down. I like that they have adult skate and family skate separate so if I want to go in and not worry about a kid running into me I can. My daughter and I had a great time and most definitely will be returning.

We went once on Saturday night and learned that they had a Sunday afternoon special for families, four people for $35 including skates, so we came back again the following day. Amazing time.

She was able to skate circles around me, which TBH isn't that hard. My boyfriend found a new talent though. He hasn't skated a day in his life, yet everyone thought he was professional. For the birthday party, they booked the smaller ice rink, which would probably be too small for a larger party, but was perfect for us, especially since everyone wasn't skating. Renting skates were fairly easy, except there was not one at the counter to help us when we got there. We had to flag someone down working in one of the other areas to help us. He was really nice, but you would think you want someone at the skates rental at all times. I was really impressed by my cousin and her friends because they were so talented. The lessons must be very good. We didn't have the rink for too long (which my aching legs and butt did not mind). After skating we went to the party room where we ate pizza and cake. The food wasn't from the rink, so I can't speak for the food here. The room was pretty nice and big which allowed the kids to run around. Overall, it was a good time and I know my cousin had fun!

The entry/exit doors at every other rink are motion sensor activated electric sliders. At Southwest, every hockey player has to try to fling open a door and run through with their equipment bag. Bathrooms are filthy and disgusting with water damaged ceiling tiles and mold. Forget about soap. The seating area of the rink is freezing because of the poorly designed architecture; the cooling equipment has to work extra hard to fill up that much space. You'll be sitting on cement slabs. At many other rinks there is enclosed seating, a much better food counter, and some even have restaurants and full bars. The prices they charge for "food" here are comical. They won't even spend the money to have their sign lit at night. It's broke, and they aren't fixing it. Ever. It's embarrassing as that's the first impression they make on a new visitor. You can easily drive past it. Also the parking lot is dangerous to the suspension of any vehicle other than a full size truck or SUV. It will destroy your car. Southwest refuses to spend any money on repaving. It's also located in Crestwood, which is a cesspool. There are no places nearby where you could actually eat and feel safe. Enjoy the piss bums from the liquor store next door. It's a shame because 40 years ago it was probably a nice rink. But clearly whoever owns Southwest is more concerned with lining their pockets than pride in ownership. Filthy, dated, and uncomfortable are the three words that best describe Southwest Ice Arena.

The rink itself was clean and well organized, and there's also a great variety of arcade games to play. One of my favorite parts was seeing all the photos and awards from competitive skaters who have trained at the rink over the decades. It was really cool to skate somewhere with so much history, especially as someone who appreciates competitive skating. I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in Chicago!

Coach Dennis is doing a great job of keeping our families up-to-date with options and we were super excited to see Coach John and Coach Vince back on the ice! If you're looking for coaches who remember your kids names and individualize their progress and assessment... this is the place. From a cost standpoint, this club is a little more expensive than some in neighboring towns, but the facilities and coaches are worth the added expense. For those concerned about COVID protocol, all the coaches wear masks on the ice and there is no player contact for the squirt and mite skill sessions. Right now, there's no in-house league, which is understandable, but sad. We hope that there will be progress toward that end in the future. I highly recommend this arena, especially for your youngsters just starting out.

Nobody was at the box office when we arrived so a line formed quickly because we had to pay in order to get in. The designated person eventually came back to their post so we could enter. If your name isn't on the booked party list for skating (I believe parties come with ~10 people on the list) It's $11 to enter and not skate, $15 to enter and skate. Once inside, we were scanned and searched by security, verified that we were here for a booked party, then allowed to enter the rest of the building. Once I arrived to the skating rental counter, every person had to fill out an online waiter before being given skates. I was able to do that within five minutes and get some skates in my size. The roller rink was of average size. The music was lit; a mixture for all ages, including adults. I kept my skates on the entire party. We even had the opportunity to play some arcade games and had a blast. Unfortunately I will be removing a star because they know its multiple groups of people in one building moving and rolling around on a hot summer day; the air conditioning should've been on at least 60-65 degrees the entire time. To be honest, I don't think it was on at all. As for the food, the chicken wings were decent but the pizza was pretty unpalatable in my opinion. It just tasted fake and cheap and artificial. I'm assuming the cotton candy and slushies were good because I heard no complaints from anybody. Sidenote: They are very strict on the timing. Our party was on a Saturday 3:30pm-6:30pm. At exactly 6:30pm, security made an announcement to the whole rink basically saying your time is up and you have to get out. I'm assuming they prepare for the next round of parties. Everybody pretty much followed the rules and exited in an orderly fashion. But overall it was a really nice time and everybody felt pretty safe. They just need to turn the a/c on!

The airing places were not well kept. I was really disappointed with the bowling side.
