We came for a bday party where we spent on roller skating but there's a huge gaming/play area as…read morewell. Because skating was included in the party, I don't know the pricing. However, the skating aids (the little rolling walker-type creations) were $7 a piece to rent for the evening. The women's bathroom was very clean. Interestingly, the sinks, mirrors, and hand dryers are outside of the restrooms. Inside is only the stalls. This creates a nice flow of traffic and avoids any traffic jams inside the restrooms. That said, all the preteens and teenagers had to do their primping outside the restrooms and fully visible to everyone inside the skating area. While the party included pizza and drinks, many of us bought food items from the concessions area before the food came out. The food was a bit slow coming out but everything was good and the fries were top notch! I'd definitely come back just for the arcade or just for skating. It seems that doing both would be a much larger time commitment, and enough to fill a major block in the day if you wanted.

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding an experience I recently had during Wednesday…read moreadult skate night. I have been coming to this skating rink since I was a child and have consistently attended adult skate night for over a year, which is why this experience was especially upsetting to me. The first issue occurred at the snack counter around 11:49 PM. I politely asked for a cup of ice water and was told the stand was closed, even though the posted closing time was 12:00 AM. Less than five minutes later, I witnessed another customer being helped at the same counter. When I calmly asked why I had been denied service while another customer was assisted, I felt the response I received was dismissive and unprofessional. The second incident occurred on May 6th and involved my skate stoppers. One of my stoppers accidentally fell off before I could fully attach it, and I was trying to figure out a solution while also asking staff whether anyone had found the missing piece. I explained the situation respectfully and made it clear that I was not intentionally breaking the rules. However, I felt I was spoken to sarcastically and treated unfairly by a manager during the interaction. When I attempted to remove myself from the situation and seek help from another employee, I felt further confronted rather than assisted. The interaction escalated unnecessarily, and I was ultimately asked to leave and denied a refund despite trying to calmly explain my situation. I completely understand the importance of enforcing rules and maintaining safety. However, I believe all customers should be treated with fairness, professionalism, and respect. As a long-time customer who regularly supports adult skate night, I left feeling embarrassed, disrespected, and disappointed by how the situation was handled. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and used as an opportunity to improve customer service experiences moving forward -De'Aira

All in all a fun date or family night and not too expensive either.

We also now rent it out for the kids for their birthdays parties if they request to do so. The staff at this skating rink are awesome. They are pleasant to talk with and help for parties. This is a great location to free skate during the week or weekends with Inline skates or rent their roller skates if you don't own a pair. If you choose to host a party or get together of any sort they are a great and fun location for all ages. They have different options and pricing depending on what your looking for. I forgot to take pictures but they also have some arcade games also, and seating if your hungry and just need a break for a snack and drink. Decent size rink - I do however with they had a bigger parking area for the country folks with big SUVs and trucks when you come as groups :)...... But really no issues or complaints.

Since the new owners took over, you can really tell how much pride and care they've put into making this a fun, welcoming place for everyone. There is always something going on -- definitely check the event calendar. We've attended Taylor Swift Night, Minion Night, Santa Claus Night, and even just a regular Saturday skate, and every time the vibe has been great. The energy feels fresh, organized, and family-friendly, and you can tell a lot of thought goes into the events they plan. They also do fun drawings and giveaways, which makes the nights even more exciting. We've entered a few times and have actually won -- my daughter won a Taylor Swift album and magazine on our last visit, which absolutely made her night. I know this place used to have mixed reviews in the past, but it truly feels like a whole new chapter. If you haven't been in a while, I highly recommend giving it another try. Our family looks forward to coming back again and again.

Then when I said he needed to apologize for kicking him out for being himself. The bigot called the cops. He said I was being threatened and aggressive. At that point my wife started film due to the fact he was lying trying to get me assaulted by the cops. Thankfully another employee was able to discuss it calmly with me. When the cops arrived the unprofessional charles/nick didn't say word expecting the cops to be aggressive. Vandalia cops did an amazing job though. Even apologizing to me outside. Terrible place.
