Went here over Christmas break. Friendly staff, clean facilities, and good skates. Close to Roosevelt blvd so easy access. Not overly crowded. Used to go to Grundy in Bristol but may come here for ease. Would recommend. read more

Flyers Skate Zone - Sporting Goods Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

In recent years, a private equity venture called Black Bear Sports Group has bought up local rinks and elected to run them into the ground. This place is one of their unfortunate victims. Prices for public skating are ridiculous. It's $16 a person. There is no kids price. The ice is unacceptable. There is a noticeable groove all the way around the boards and a good 3 inch dip where the Zamboni comes out. It's very dangerous, but they don't seem to care. Speaking of dangerous, they don't appear to employ a single skate guard for supervision. I've seen people do ludicrously unsafe things here. Parents, there may be no one at the Skate Zone to tell you this, so I'm telling you now: Don't skate around with your kids on your shoulders! The only plus is that the individual employees I've dealt with have all been very nice. I don't think they're any happier being employed by Black Bear than I am paying Black Bear. read more

Nice place to watch my great nephew play hockey. Nice size concession stand, as well. Plenty of seating to watch the games. And, plenty of parking, too. And, they won! lol read more

Flyers Skate Zone - Outside - Sporting Goods Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Pretty cool place for ice skating lovers! Ive been here many times for family parties and had a great time! The staff are very friendly and helpful, and its cool you can rent the ice skates there and they are pretty decent. They are cleaned throughout uses and they keep up with the crowds and are able to control them to make them go faster through the lines. When it comes to the birthday parties, they are helpful and give you a private room for your party and you can bring outside food in. The staff also helps you set up and comes in to check on you multiple times. I love ice skating and wish I could skate like I used to before. I have a fear of shattering my back and havent been ice skating since my back surgery, but if you are a ice skater lover and enjoy to get out there and twist and turn on the ice, this place is for you! They have a snack area, with pretzels, chips and pizza, and soda and candy. They also have certain nights for public skate and nights for league skating. Ive been there a few times when they had specials where they were giving out Philly Phantoms tickets, which to me is pretty darn cool! read more

Double ice rink, large parking lot, good snack bar and a pro shop conveniently located in NE Philadelphia.

The ice isn't bad, but lock your stuff up! Had stuff stolen out of the locker room here before. I have played a few games here on pick up nights. Its usually hit or miss. Sometimes there are older more mature guys there and sometimes its like Chuckie Cheese with all the little kids throwing sticks at each other. Its really just hit or miss these days. I usually on go there when I need a tune up game. read more

Two Rinks with Mel's Diner and a pro shop. Facilities a good but aging. Mel's Diner is a good snack bar with a nice selection of food reasonably priced but is a snack bar really. Staff are very pleasant here. Bathrooms are shabby but clean. This is the home of Flyers, Temple Owls and Phantoms. read more

This is older venue (built in the mid 90s), but it still has daily activities as well as awesome open hockey on Saturday nights. They do birthday parties, have a pro shop with surprisingly uninflated prices & a great gear manager who sharpens skates masterfully. I hope this place is here forever. read more

This place used to be decent, but now they significantly raised their prices as of 2016, without giving you anything extra for it. On top of that now they started hassling the skaters that go there to train not to bring their own food so they will be forced to buy their overpriced fast food garbage they sell over there. As if hassling the parents to not be able to sit at the rink-side while their kids take their lesson on ice wasn't enough. read more

Have been going to this rink off and on for ten years. Tables in the cafe area and the bathrooms are always filthy. On Sunday morning the place often reeks because they don't take out the trash the night before. The saving grace of this rink was the presence of heaters above the stands, but alas, they do not always work. The noise on Friday nights is deafening. read more

This is a fun way to while away a Saturday afternoon. Cheap rentals, lots of room on the rink to fall, er, skate.

I love that this place exist. Not the cleanest but at least you can go ice skating all year round!

Update: We are working with management at the facility and they have been reasonable and accommodating with regard to allowing us to help our children during free skate (at no charge) until they are comfortable and safe enough to be out there on their own. We feel much better about continuing lessons at this location. We spent about $250 for 6 weeks of Learn to Skate lessons for our two 4 year old boys. The lessons end up being about 20 minutes once they get things organized, and then the last half hour is for practice/open skating. After finding that our four year old boys are basically on their own for the 1/2 hr open skate, and based on what my husband was told during sign up - that parents are encouraged to get on the ice with their kids, my husband and I went out on the ice during open skate with our boys last night, only to be policed by a young teenage girl telling us that if we want to be out there we need to pay $7 each (for 1/2 hr!). Seriously?? So you don't have the staff to be with them during open skate and you're going to charge us more money if we want to help them? We were told it's because they don't have another way to control the number of people out on the ice "helping" the kids. I suggested they give one pass per child for parental assistance during that time. They said that wasn't an option. Oh, and they said we cannot use the open skate passes that they provided in the beginning, for this purpose, either (not that we should have to - that's specifically for extra practice time). This is a huge turn off and disappointment, and we're currently looking into options elsewhere. It's a shame because we really liked the program organizer, Amber, but it seems her hands are tied. read more

This place is a health hazard. The locker room / showers are UNSANITARY. Mold across the walls and slime oozing through the floor mats. A little Clorox and mop would go a long way at this place. Makes me wonder about the condition of the facility sponsor, local dentist Doc Bressler. Their name is on the marquee, and inside everywhere... Are they proud of it? Not to mention the Flyers themselves. Their name is even bigger.... Has no one heard of the mumps (NHL) or MRSA ???? read more

The place itself if alright. But I applied for a job there and I have tried to return their calls several times but no answer. I have called a total of 12 times and still no answer. read more
