Got new roller skates for Christmas and was beyond pumped to try them out. So, I finally convinced…read morea friend to join me for Retro Night at Skate City on Tuesday, 8 to 11 PM, where they spin all the best 70s, 80s, and 90s jams. The cost? $11. I laced up those beauties and skated like a pro--no falls, no wobbles, just pure smooth moves...for a solid two hours. Then I took a break to chat by the wall, and wouldn't you know it, that's when gravity reminded me who's boss. Down I went, wrist first. Yep, broken wrist and surgery two days later. But honestly? Totally worth it. The music was blasting, the vibes were immaculate, and for a couple of hours, I was living my best retro dream. Once this wrist heals and I get myself a brace, you better believe I'll be back rolling and rocking those skates. Skate City's Retro Night = a blast. Just maybe bring some wrist guards... or maybe just don't stop to chat!

If you are into skating you might dig this place. The surface is concrete that is petty sanded but…read moreis not slick like a normal wood surface. There is a clearly marked building where you can rent skates. The whole area is quite expansive with the outer ribbon to skate and 2 big round areas at each end. There is still plenty of things to fall against so if you are not good bring pads! There was also quite a few of inline skaters but most everyone was friendly. Elsewhere around the skating place there is tons of green space room to get away and relax.

Fantastic skating experience! My only drawback was the uncomfy skates, but I think a good couple of…read morepairs of thick socks should help with that. They had skate helpers skating the whole time to make sure everyone stayed safe. We spent an hour skating around and having winter fun! Pro tip: get your own skates, which would be more comfy, and FREE!

Just an awesome ice-skating rink/loop and venue for everybody! Skate rentals available on site…read more Plenty of grab bars for anyone that's feeling a little insecure. This year-round facility offers ice-skating in winter months and rollerskating in nicer weather. Plenty of places to people watch. Located next to the ConAgra campus and near the old market allows for plenty of restaurant food options before and/or after a little fresh air. Metered street (free on Sundays and holidays) and nearby garage parking is available. Recommend this venue for a little bit of outdoor fun! Open daily after 11 AM, check website for any updates.

I look forward to this event every year!…read more If you don't know this is a month long charity event held downtown. It supports the food banks and money raised from the rink goes to feed hungry mouths. Each ticket is $5 per person even if you bring your own skates. They do accept credit cards and you are encouraged to bring shelf stable items for donations that you put in this big blue bins. Kids under 5 are free. There is a very over priced "cafe" that I've never gotten anything at; a tiny glass of swiss miss cocoa is $2.00. A small hot dog is like $5.00 but I think it comes with chips(?) There are a couple big red tents set up where you can sit and hang out if skating isn't your thing and sometimes they have performances. The photos I uploaded were from one of them. Some of them I think are going to the Olympics they were really good! The cutest one was a who and the Grinch. So adorable!! The rink itself is okay, I wish it was bigger to be honest with you but you do with what you have. I also wish they'd smooth it out more often because after awhile it gets very liquidy and grooved. Makes skating kinda scary if you're like me and very uncoordinated. Be prepared to sign a waiver also, if you hurt yourself don't plan on suing ConAgra or anyone else at this place. If you bring a child you must sign a waiver for them and if you bring someone else's child THEIR parent or legal guardian must sign it and they bring it to the rink. You are not allowed to do it for them. You can download and print the waivers off the website. Again please keep in mind this is a holiday event and for 2014 the hours were: Friday, December 12 through Sunday, January 4, 2015 Sunday - Thursday: 1 - 10 pm Friday & Saturday: 1 pm - midnight Christmas Eve & New Year's Eve: 1 - 5 pm Closed Christmas & New Year's Day To wrap it up, yes it's super fun and I think everyone should at least TRY to ice skate once in their lives. I hug the wall the whole time like a baby but I still have fun doing it.

Plenty of ways to get in and it was nice a quick. We took some time to walk around and check everything out from different spots and there were very few locations that wouldn't be good to sit at! It was nice that they had a lot of local vendors and options instead of just name brand big brands for food and drinks too!

I saw people complaining about the smell but I mean hockey games are played here and their stuff stored in lockers so I figured that was going to be the case. It's not really even that bad. The concession stand has so much to offer for reasonable prices as well. Definitely a cool family trip!

4 Stars - Great facility, but scheduling and supervision need improvement…read moreThe Moylan Iceplex is a really nice facility overall. Having two rinks makes it easy for them to host a wide variety of activities, and there's almost always something going on. Between public skating, club hockey, adult ("old man") leagues, stick-and-puck sessions, and other events, it's a very active place for the hockey community. The staff have always been friendly in my experience, which makes a big difference. The facility itself is well set up, with places to eat and even a small arcade area, which is great if you're bringing kids or family members who aren't skating. Prices for skating sessions and activities are also pretty reasonable compared to many rinks. My main frustration is the scheduling. The posted schedules sometimes change without notice, which can be really frustrating when you drive there expecting ice time and find out it was changed or canceled. The other concern is supervision. During public skating especially, there often appears to be little or no monitoring on the ice. With a lot of kids skating at once, things can get chaotic and occasionally dangerous. Overall it's a great facility with a lot going for it, but better schedule management and more active supervision would make a big difference.

When I asked who was in charge of…read moreslowing the speed skaters, monitoring kids that were undoubtedly there to warm up before they changed for their hockey game next door - I was told no guard on duty. Many, many young kids were unable to skate because the "walkers" or blue plastic supports designed to aid beginners were being used as toys by older youth who clearly didn't need them. As soon as the Zamboni was able to clear the ice, older youth shaved the ice and dirtied it for no reason. But with no guard - who would stop them. It was a freaking free for all - and I paid to be a part of it. that's crap. I wish I'd asked for my money back.

The seats are uncomfortable unless you bring something else to sit on. I also like that you can sit inside so you're not freezing, that's another plus. The seats inside are only in one corner though so being able to see the game the whole time can be hard, keep that in mind. They don't sell any alcohol which isn't the end of the world but would make it better if they did. The people who work there are nice and keep it reasonably clean.

This is great place to go for fun night. The facility is clean and the rental skates kept up well…read more The staff were very friendly. Through the City of Omaha they have a skate date once a year.

Their new chef/owner is using his culinary skills to feature some of the best appetizers and dishes we've had in Omaha. Chef John Benton has created a menu that doesn't deprive you of enjoying the finer things in life all while not sacrificing your wallet. I chose my go to and ordered a blueberry mule. Didn't taste much blueberry but it was very refreshing so no complaints here. I've been craving spinach artichoke dip. We loved his take on this due to quite a few places having just a little spinach versus his that was very generous. Those chips were some of the best we have had. My husband chose the Short Rib Stroganoff. This in his opinion, is one of the best entrees they serve up. I chose the Shrimp Bruschetta Pasta and asked if they could accommodate adding some grilled chicken. It was just a $5 charge for that addition. the cream was light but flavorful. That garlic bread was so full of garlic cheesiness! Server Joseph was great and we enjoyed his efficiency with everything we ordered. He was attentive but not overly attentive. Nobody wants a server that when you look up they are staring at you every 5 minutes. Especially when you're trying to get your romantic evening started. Great night and great experience. We spent just under $100 with tip included.

Okay, we came back again and I'm happy to report our food was delicious. The cornbread with brown…read morebutter appetizer might be one of the most amazing apps I've ever had. I had the spicy chicken sandwich, which was good, but the truffle fries stole the show. We also had a cookie skillet for dessert which was over the top with Reese's added. Yum! We all enjoyed the food. The service though...yikes. I'm not sure if our server Jess was new or maybe just a bit spacey, but it was bad. To start, services was slooooow, and we were one of maybe 4-5 tables. It took a good 15 mins just for our drinks to arrive. Next, she never cleared a single plate or menu from the table the entire meal. And we had 2 apps, 7 entrees, and 2 desserts! And lastly, we had to ask for a box four separate times before we finally got one. We'd ask and then the next thing you know she is wiping a table, talking to a coworker, etc. It honestly was weird! Our meal ended up taking waaaay longer than necessary just because of constant weird delays like this.
