This place is a total winner, with more rinks popping up like mushrooms, welcoming skaters of all levels to glide, spin, and show off their stuff. The snack bar crew is always super chill, serving up smiles with their snacks. Just a heads up for the ladies: steer clear of those hideous ice skating dresses they sell - my friend and I still LOL about how fashion-bomb they are...or not!

To boast three sheets of ice in modern day rinks is almost unheard of. These folks juggle that with no problem. All the ice here is expertly maintained. You'll always hear me bitch at the figure skaters for destroying the ice with toe picks and as such blowing-out the knees of unsuspecting hockey players. Not here. The magicians seem to anticipate this and react accordingly. Smooth sheets. Safe knees! There's a rather large parking area and you'll find quite the variety at the concession stand. Their main lobby also features plenty of bench seating and they have an ample meeting area. The bathrooms are decent but are at the rink ends, not off the main lobby. What few staff you deal with are fabulous and you can still visit Mrs. Jones and her top notch pro shop. While two of the arenas have more than enough bleacher space, the smaller rink needs more seating. That can't (or won't) be changed, sobeit. Costs obviously have increased due to Covid and its tentacles. They do have sophisticated aids and are still the goto for figure skating instruction. Competitive skaters/trainers from all over the world stop here to train. Did you know they have a physical therapy center on site? 06/21

I hadn't roller skated since I was 12 and now I'm a really confident skater. It's a great workout too! You won't get this kind of attention and instruction anywhere else. This place focuses on adult skaters, age 21 and older. The classes are small. I took a class for one hour on Sundays with the same 8 people and we kept building upon what we learned. Adjustments and modifications are available for people with injuries too. We had students of all ages in this class, from 30's to 70's and we could all do it and work at our level. This personalized type of class doesn't exist anywhere else. Also, on Wednesday nights at 8:30pm, you can come here and practice and skate for $10. (They have free parking available out front.) I had the good fortune to be taught by the owner, Keith. Keith is a spectacular skater and human being. He is kind, patient, funny, and an excellent teacher. He has truly built a supportive skating community and I'm honored to be a part of it. Keith offers a variety of classes and he is also working on new classes to offer. He's open to ideas and feedback too. I'll be taking a class on outdoor skating next, as well a workshop on backwards skating. Learning how to skate here was the best decision I've made in a long time. I highly recommend taking class and joining this awesome skating community!

It's $7 total for skates and skating. They offer a half off discount if you show an MJR ticket stub. They have a cute snack shop with yummy snacks. The kids like the slurpies and fries. It's good exercise, and people here are of different skating levels. If you need help they have walkers for the ice to assist your skating!

They have a quaint little pro shop which has the basic necessities to potentially save the day. A bit pricey but, then again, you wouldn't do your equipment shopping here unless you were in a pinch. I know of a few instances where kids have needed an emergency skate sharpening. Critically important at the speed and level they play at. A basic little snack bar is available when you enter and restrooms just in case. Plenty of metal bleacher seating in both arenas and picnic tables in the lobby in case you get too cold. If your new to this world of ice sport spectating, bring a blanket and seat cushion. At least for the first visit. They have a fully functioning ice resurfacing machine and a small ever changing staff to maintain the building. Skate rental is available. Open skate and pickup hockey is offered.

This is an absolutely incredible program and great gross motor skills and problem solving!

The stadium feels like its on the older side. The men's bathroom had a pretty solid layer of dirt throughout it (which I kind of expect at a local hockey rink.) One critique I have is that when you enter and go through security, they don't have signs or anything to help guide you to find your way into the stadium. We had to ask and kind of just figure it out ourselves.

A lot of the younger classes focussed on skill building, but not much direct soccer which was what my little guy wanted. Lots of obstacle courses and games, but some weeks he didn't even get to kick a ball into a net (the epitome of what soccer means at that age). Also, they make you buy a uniform every year ($40) which I thought was unnecessary and a lame way of taking more money.

These coaches spend their weekends getting to know our children and teaching them skills that are useful on and off the field. My son loves the color red and often wants red colored cones, hula hoops, etc...A few months ago one of his three coaches was Coach Leah and we really enjoyed her- she is now one of his main coaches. A few weeks back, not seeing our son in probably months, Coach Leah addressed him by his name and handed him a piece of red equipment telling him how she knows he likes red. It's positive interactions like this, that show how much effort and heart these coaches put into this toddler program. Kickstart could be an easy cash grab with coaches who just show up to work- this is not the case. I love what Kickstart is about and I can't wait until our youngest is able to start this program.
