The place could use some revamping with paint or decor or something it just seems so old. We thought it would be a fun time to take our 8 and 9 year old skating, I think they would have had a better time with the assisting walkers, for the price you'd think they'd have those available. We were told people weren't using them like they were suppose to do they ruined it for everyone. I think as a business they should still supply them for kids. Saw a kid about 7 hit his head and everyone is holding on to the edge trying not to fall. It would be a better experience for kids with the assisting walkers. Other than that the ice was well kept and I like the juke box option it's not in the safest spot in my opinion.

It's affordable but the ice skates are really worn and they used to have a touch tunes (my favorite part) but then they took it away from us :(

Been trying to teach my teen how to skate so we've come here a few times in the last few weeks. As far as having a warehouse of frozen water and generic skates for you to rent, this place does deliver as advertised. But that's literally all you're going to get for $16 ($9 for 2 hours & $7 to rent skates), which is the cost of 1 hour of your life if you have to work minimum wage. They have a sad snack bar that is cash only. It's not always open. They have a "warm" room that's always freezing, never has snacks, and never has TVs on. When we went on a Wednesday night, the lights weren't even turned on. The bathrooms are down a dark hallway. Absolutely no music will be played unless someone spends money on the jukebox. If you are there to practice skating and burn some calories, you'll get what you want. But the gym is $10 a month and this place wants $16 for 2 hours and they don't even pretend to try and provide entertainment. It's kind of insulting, like they don't even think we're worth lying to. It's just mostly sad because this place could be so cool. I wish they would sell it to someone who might actually care about giving the Fresno community a unique experience.

I like this place a lot and every time I've gone it's been super fun. The people that work there are really nice for the most part. The rink is a pretty decent size and you can even have private parties if you wanted to. I always go during the public sessions though. I'm pretty sure it's only $10 if you decide to go ice skating and rent ice skates, which is a fair price because you can skate for hours--which we most definitely always do. As a heads up in case you've never gone ice-skating, I would recommend bringing long socks that are pretty thick so that the ice skates don't bother your leg; bringing a warm jacket, gloves, and a scarf is also recommended. I like the music that they play while your ice skating...just thought i'd mention that. Also, the people that work there do a good job at making sure no one does anything that might get them hurt. However, this can result in them taking away some of your fun. For instance, you can't hold hands with more than one person because they think you might crash into other people or what not. However, there's one benefit to getting hurt ...this benefit is that a cute guy will usually offer to help pick you up ;) Also, I think it's the only ice skating place close to this area--I may be wrong.

Don't come here on a Saturday afternoon hungry. If it were running, you could only get nachos and candy.

How much for broomstick?

If you mean Broomball, the cost is currently $200 per hour or $185 per hour if 2+ hours are booked. Availability is extremely limited this time of year, so it's best to book as early as possible!

This was such a fun winter/holiday activity to do! I love that it is in the heart of our downtown…read moreand right across from our "skyscraper", the Security Bank Building. There is a small ice rink with beautiful lights, it's large enough to skate and have a good time. There are benches and heaters where you can put on your skates. There are no lockers, so don't bring anything you can't carry with you. They have a max number of tickets they sell for each night so the ice rink isn't crowded. There are igloos you can rent for you and friends. There are vendors with hot chocolate and other goodies. There is a beautiful Christmas tree and the back drop is the security bank Building. It's so beautiful. Each night is a theme at the ice rink. We went went on Howard's night, but no one was following the theme. It was fun! There are also skating aids if you need them, they're cute seals and reindeer skate aids. I really hope they continue to do this each year.

Small little rink in the middle of downtown. I have always wanted to check out this event because…read moreI'm the No town representer. Nice little date getaway or family excursion.. I grew up rollerblading and ice skating is damn near the same thing, so my 40+ year old a*s was zooming around all the youngsters haha. For me, it was a little too small, so next time I skate, I am going to hit the actual rink so I can practice an axel or 360 or whatever they call it. Anyway, I still worked up a sweat to the point I took off my sweatahirt and was cruising around in a short sleeve. Someone left a harsh one star review earlier, but I happen to know she had a great time despite the lack of skates and place to put small shoulder bags. All in all, it was fun. We didn't grab any refreshments or cookies, but it seemed like they had a few small food/drink options that you may want during your 90 min time block

We had a great time, the was staff was super friendly and helpfull! We'll definitely be back : )read more

The good: very cute place, tons of parking, restrooms, snack bar…read more The bad: no refunds, uncomfortable skates, melty ice. I brought my 2 daughters and 1 friend to skate here a few days ago. Spent $53 for 3 tickets. I had just taken the girls a few days prior to skate at Modesto on ice as we live in Modesto but they were sold out at the time we wanted to go so decided to come here instead. As soon as they got on the ice they said that it was really hard to skate because the ice was very melty and also complained that their feet hurt really bad. They were on there for less than 5 minutes. Mind you they skated 2 days prior at the other place for a full session just fine so it was kind of weird that their feet hurt and wanted to leave. I asked if I could get a refund. They were adamant that I could not and that I could change the tickets for another day. I went ahead and did that but my girls refuse to go back there and keep asking if we can just go to Modesto instead. The supervisor I talked to stated that Modesto uses the same skates and that he recommends wearing thick socks because the ice skates aren't made for comfort. I don't know if that is true or not or if maybe the skates were old or too new but whatever the case my kids don't want to go back. Since I can't get a refund, I guess I'm out $53. I don't think that is right. They should be more understanding especially when kids are involved. I could see if they skated for half an hour and then said their feet hurt but they literally didn't even skate at all. Thumbs down!
