You can then register for the session online. When checking out, there's a button to apply one of your passes Learn to skate program: There was no information online or on the program page for what would be taught throughout the course. I signed up, but I still don't know what to expect lol. They really should have a generic syllabus. Pro Shop: There aren't many options for figure skates or hockey skates so I would say these are tailored to beginners. I was hoping I could come and have someone help determine my skate size since I have no idea what it should feel like and they were pretty much just asking if it was comfortable without much other guidance. However, the guy helping us really was extremely patient, never pressured us and was honestly such a sweetheart. He was adamant about us taking our time and trying on as many sizes as we wanted to and wanted to make sure we felt comfortable with our purchase. He's really the sweetest guy ever.

It can get really crowded with kids though, which makes it hard to skate around since they can be unpredictable. I prefer the adults-only sessions. The prices have gone up over the years, but overall, it's not too expensive. The rental skates aren't great, which is why I ended up buying my own. I actually purchased them from their shop because their skates go on sale pretty often. Overall, I think it's a solid place to enjoy ice skating all year round.

Afternoons are definitely crowded up to 8pm. But we tried the 8pm - 10pm and you have a lot of space. They have a good number of skates to rent. Mostly the basic gray ones. They have a lot of benches to sit down. They also have available lockers to rent. The bathrooms are decent. They also have the store in the building which offer services too, which is convenient. They also have vending machines and a food bar at the second floor. Parking can be a challenge before another shift ends. But after they leave, it's enough for the next batch.

It was a nice first experience for my kiddo. Plenty of parking but can be hectic as well. Please watch as many areas are one direction lanes.

WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN HERE SOONER??? I've been in the bay my whole life and The Church of 8 Wheels…read morehas been around for over 10 years. This is easily one of the most interesting places in SF, hands down. We had a chance to pay our respects by way of celebrating my best friend's birthday here. What a find...! We purchased tickets on Eventbrite a few weeks in advance. Our session was 4:30-6:00 pm. Onsite, we rented skates for $5. No half sizes, but my 8.5 feet fit in a 9 just fine. Decked out with disco lights, the church glows vibrantly against the backdrop of its stained glass windows. Music of all eras reverberates through the high ceilings, a welcome greeting to all. I didn't realize that we were graced with the presence of the Godfather of Skate, D. himself! I should have done my research earlier. He casually swung by, in full purple regalia, and gave my struggling newbie self some tips. Within 10 mins, I was skating without shaking at all??? I never got to properly thank him...! I'll be sure to next time. NOTE: Bring cash to rent skates!

Skate Escape is located inside the mall, right next to a small video game arcade. I was informed by…read morestaff that a "skating with love" community event was happening. There was no charge to skate, though the skating pass price of $12 posted online is not bad, especially without the $3 skate rental cost (since I have my own rollerblades). This place is quite simple. A small shoe cubbies storage unit against the wall, a few seats and tables outside the rink, a restroom in the back, socks and snacks (water, chips, gatorade) sold behind the counter, and friendly staff making everyone feel welcome. The rink had a smooth and sturdy surface, creating an ideal skating experience. It was surrounded by plexiglass, able to withstand the barrage of kids crashing into the walls. Tiny disco balls hung from the ceiling, along with colorful decorative string lights. Mainly hip hop and rnb music played through the speakers, a song list including Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder, I Want To Be Your Man by Zapp, and Don't Stop Til You Get Enough by the king of pop. The skating rink was small but never felt crowded. There was plenty of space to glide freely, and it was easy to dodge the kids. Even the skate aids didn't take up a lot of space or get in the way. It was a pleasant experience, a carefree atmosphere with everyone just having a good time. Skate Escape was a great option for a rainy day activity to enjoy while in the area.

It starts at 11am, but I got here at 1045 so you can get checked in and skates ready. The instructor was nice, I didn't catch her name, but she was helping my daughter for a little bit. The class size was definitely bigger than I thought? Maybe like 20 people? Including grown ups to 5 year olds? There was another young girl helping her since there was so many participants. I spoke to Bob and he was helpful. Answered all my questions with honesty. I appreciated that. The bathrooms were clean. They had tables and seating areas. You can order food, cotton candy, dipping dots, icees, and more. There were arcade games with prizes. The place def gave 90's vibes! I ended up renting roller blades after her lesson, which was $22 (kinda pricey imo) and only skated for about 20 minutes with my daughter. But it was fun. Can't wait to come back for the rest of her lessons!

We visited for the first time yesterday & overall had a fun 90 minutes…read more I chose this spot for my 4 year olds first ice skating experience as they had the kids "walkers" to assist first timers. The ice slide also looked like a fun added bonus. Purchased tickets ahead of time and they made it easy to add to apple wallet, and also texted and emailed a copy of the tickets/QR code which was great for me, but might be difficult to access for anyone not smartphone savvy or access. Check in and getting our skates was easy enough, although I had to go back a second time because the young man gave me the men's size instead of the ladies, so I went to the young gal the 2nd time to the skate window and she remedied that for me. We had the combo ticket but decided to skate first as they don't guarantee skate sizes or walkers and I was able to get a walker for an added rental fee of $15 which I didn't mind but would have preferred if we could add this to our reservation because we really could not have skated without it. They have lockers for your belongings if needed, we just left our shoes under a bench and it was fine. We put our skates on and immediately they were very uncomfortable, they tighten down with three plastic belt paths (think roller blades) and on their website it specifically advised to wear tall socks but not thick socks, so that is what we did. The skates were immediately digging in hard on both mine and my friends inner ankle bone. So much so that after 10 minutes we were in agony and decided to take a break and try the ice slide with our littles. The ice slide was fun, they had 2 of the 3 lanes open and someone at the top monitoring each lane. The tubes were in at least 3 different sizes which was great but we did need to wait a bit to use a red tube which were the smallest size for the 4 year olds. In the meantime we used a larger tube and they let us tube with them (we also had a combo ticket) and the littles on our laps. My child was scared of the slide so only went a handful of times but there is a snack shack and tables adjacent so we got some hot cocoa and watched her friend. All in all this was a cute spot and we had fun, the rink is small but wasn't too crowded on a January Saturday, the layout, decor and staff were all great, but I will try somewhere else next time since the main goal was ice skating and the skates were just way too uncomfortable.
