    Conveniently located right off Lyell Ave exit not far from Gates Wegmans. There is a decent parking…read morelot and you will have extra security entering the building going through a metal detector. Cost is $15 and it includes skates while Horizons cost $5. Some of us bought new skates online to avoid wearing used. Once you get over the fact this is an old warehouse and there is no other roller skating rink to go to you become grateful there is somewhere to go to live out your youth . I don't like the metal plates which are part of the flooring as it's not easy to roll over when you travel to and from the rink but the rink itself is fine . It's a decent size to roller skate and it's not overly crowded so it works . Like anything in life it's the perspective and sometimes it's yourself and who you are with that makes or breaks the fun. We had about 10 of us in our party and we had a blast . We went on Thursday night adult night 7-10pm and dj mixed up mostly R&B but told us they would play more 80's when we came back. We plan to go again next month . People skating were smoking and happy .. saw some really good skaters too. This is what I focused on and I'm grateful we have somewhere to go skate among adults every single week is we wanted to. Sadly there are no lockers so plan to bring minimal extras and carry wallet on you. There is a smell of basement or what not but again .. this is only rink we have with adult night so if we focus on the fun we forget the rest ;)

    My daughter and her friends really enjoy the fun and safe environment of this skating rink…read more Delicious food, great atmosphere and family friendly.

Our little kids love this program and look forward to their Monday night classes. The Classic hosts high school & youth hockey teams, free-skate sessions, private parties. Once the weather warms up, the Rink will be converted to an outdoor marketplace. Facilities are immaculately clean, which is a tall order, considering the large members of people coming through the building every day. We took advantage of the Skate rentals, until we knew our boys were committed to learning to skate. At that point, we bought secondhand skates for them. There's a limited snack bar in the skating lodge. If you're craving something more substantial, you're within walking distance from some really great restaurants! I particularly love the second floor which overlooks the ice. It's wonderfully comfortable and cozy, outfitted with huge rocking chairs. Come on down during open hours to support the kids!

    Wow! Awesome rink! So I came here on. Wednesday night (adult…read moreretro night). It was also the start of the annual Borderline Jam which I was unfamiliar with since I'm just getting back into skating again but there were so many incredibly talented skaters it just blew me away! I am just an average rollerblader. I haven't hit a rink in a quarter century until this past week so I can't even remember how to skate backwards but I still go fast and just flying around the rink listening to music on a great sound system with fun lighting was enough to make me happy and get great exercise too! Admission is usually $10 (I had to pay $15 because of the special event). There are skates to rent but I know nothing more as I have my own. There are plenty of lockers and they are a quarter to lock each time (I was busy skating and never opened it again until I left). The key doesn't have a wrist band so make sure you have a pocket or a fanny pack or something to put it in. There is a snack bar with things like pizza, pizza logs, nachos, popcorn, etc. at a fair price. There are also some alcoholic beverages! There's also vending machines with plenty of snacks and drinks. There is an arcade too which I wanted to play but unfortunately almost every game was turned off and no one at the ticket counter - im not sure if it is like that every adult night or just due to the special event but I wanted to play some games! Staff was friendly but so were the people! Everyone that came up to me was just genuinely being nice and inclusive and not being a creep. That really made me feel happy and excited to come back. What I love the most was all shapes sizes ages colors genders styles and skill sets all harmonized as one. Everyone was really enjoying themselves, getting along nicely, if someone is coming around you fast they will make a noise so you know or they may gently touch you for a moment so you know they rounding you so no one falls. It was really a nice venue with wonderful people where you can feel safe and free from all of the silly arguments you see on social media, or rudeness you see out in the wild quite often. Whether your 80 years old and still able to fly around the rink, younger and full of dance moves on skates that make heads turn, average like me, or just starting out and need some help .. and people there will be happy to help you ... this is the place to be! I really look forward to coming here again soon.

They allow for skate rentals, bring your own skates, walkers to borrow for those unsteady on skates, and an area to practice. Their is a ref, snack bar, themed skate nights and music. My mom loved to rollerskate when she was younger, and this was a great way for me to honor, celebrate her memory for a fun pastime she enjoyed.

I haven't been on real skates probably since I was about 10. I had such an amazing time and want to go back when it's less crowded. I happened to go when there was also a silent disco happening which made it even more amazing! Some people skated and did the disco, other chose to hang out and just do the disco. Whatever you preferred was fine. The disco had 3 stations to choose from and everyone was having a ball. Pricing was very reasonable. $6 adult admission, $4 skate rental and the silent disco headphones were $5. You only had to pay for what you needed. There were plenty of rentals available, Pro Tip- women's sizing ran really big. So if you need skates bring some higher socks to protect your ankles and head down for a great time. At different times the rink was a little crowded. Since most people aren't used to skating it could be a little tricky to get around. It definitely took me a few laps to get used to not being on stable ground. After about 30 minutes we were tired and were happy to leave the growing crowd. There were walker type devices to help you get your footing down if you needed some help. One of the more treacherous parts was skating on the sidewalk and into the rink. It might not be a bad idea to put on your skates near the entrance. You can also walk sideways up and down the ramp so you don't roll up and down. They are open most days until the end of October. Check their website for opening times and dates. Follow the Buffalo Waterfront on Facebook to see upcoming weekly events. Snack bar with retro candies and canned alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks available. It was nice to see all kinds of people, different ages and a family friendly event!
