    A postet of their Sundaes concert series
    Peter O.

    Located at very historical place. Played a concert the recently. Very many people came there and were very enthusiastic. Free ice cream for everyone is not a bad thing too))

    The Greek Festival happening at the Harris Pavilion

    The Harris Pavilion is a great spot to relax at during the weekends. Take a trip to the near by farmers market on a Saturday morning and pick up a little lunch to take and enjoy by the pavilion. There are many events held at the pavilion throughout the summer season and in the winter you can enjoy I've skating.

In a world where trampoline parks charge $20+ a kid for an hour, this place feels like a miracle. It was pretty crowded, but they keep a good flow going on the floor, good music, and a great family friendly atmosphere. They have the little walker/roller carts for children to learn on, but fair warning they do run out so get there early or you might be waiting. You might think that with such a cheap entry fee they make up the money on concessions, but nope. A bottle of water is still only $1 here. Honestly, Bush Tabernacle seems like a community service project gone right and just what parents of cabin-fevered kids need in this area. I hadn't skated it like 20 years and somehow picked it right back up, and it was fun for me too. In addition to the skating rink, they also have a small free play game area where kids can take a break with Fortnite, Rocket League, etc., as well as two air hockey tables and a ping pong table. There's a large area with tables for renting out for parties, too. I was pleasantly surprised by this place, and the whole family wants to come back soon.

    Took my kids to rollerskate for the 4:30 to 6:30 PM session to blow off some steam before dinner…read more Terrible rink, doesn't seem family friendly, walked into lord knows what trying to take my 4 year old to pee (weed smoke, a woman dressed for a much more adult experience at 5:30pm).... I turned around and walked right out of there without investigating further. The vibes were off in that bathroom, I can tell you that much. They seemed alarmed that I was trying to come in there at all let alone with a four-year-old, even though the bathroom was a public bathroom.... I don't know how this place can call itself a roller skating rink with that horrible floor. The skates were plastic and awful. I really feel ripped off and extremely disappointed. The chairs were disgusting. I washed all of our clothes and coats as soon as we got home. I will never be returning. Such wasted money. In addition there was a DJ playing music and it was so loud. My kids were extremely overstimulated and just yelling by the time we left, then complained of headaches on the car ride home.

    Went here for the first time to try the roller skating rink. And all I can say is that this place…read moreis just "average." I love the concept, and this seems like a great place for an extreme beginner (like me) to practice because it wasn't very crowded when I went at 5:30 pm on a weekday. But there were so many things that I also didn't like about the place. First, the rental skates are DIRTY and DUSTY and DOWNRIGHT disgusting. They do not seem to be properly cleaned or maintained, and I don't think they are even sanitized between users. They only come in derby style (with the completely flat sole, without a little heel), and I also found them to run very narrow. (And I have a regular width foot in the most common women's size. So I'm not hard to fit!) I spent almost 30 minutes of my 2-hour reservation simply trying to find a pair that didn't hurt my feet and with wheels that rolled properly. The shoes themselves are super filthy and dusty with disintegrating shoelaces, and when you go to put them on, the wheels are covered in so much dirt and hair and they get your pants dirty just touching them. Second, it is difficult to watch your things while you're skating. There are no lockers or secure areas to place your things. Rather just outside the rink there is a long built-in bench you can sit on to put on your skates, with rows of open cubby holes above it for you to store your things. But the entire area is facing out -- away from the rink and toward the rest of the building. That means it wouldn't be safe for you to leave a purse there unattended, nor would it be wise to leave your water bottle either. Although I felt fine storing my jacket and shoes there, I had to carry the rest of my stuff with me (and I placed my water bottle on the inside ledge so I could try to keep an eye on it). The whole thing seems poorly designed for adult users. Plus it was dirty -- with chewed balls of gum littering the area and even random press-on fingernails in the cubbies. Third, the handful of "cabana" seating areas that are around the rink seem so beat-up and dilapidated. All the pillows are dirty and deflated. The wicker is beat-up. Everything about the place just seem unkempt and uncared for. Whoever owns this place ought to be ashamed! There is no reason for it to be this bad. Fourth, the rink itself is ok. It's not a shiny floor like you might remember from childhood, but rather a slightly soft black snap-together floor. It was perfectly fine for skating though. There is no "rail" surrounding the rink though. If you find that you need to try to break a fall/come to a stop, there is almost nothing but smooth wall. (There was some kind of light fixture plate jutting out from the wall--screws and all--near the emergency exist when I was there. It was a definite safety hazard, and I don't think the establishment even cares. Fifth, there does seem to be a food stand and restrooms nearby. But I didn't use either of those, so I can't speak to the quality, cleanliness, etc. of any of it. Sixth, there is a decent parking lot out front. But it doesn't belong to Kraken. You have to pay a separate company to park out front (electronically, kind of like using ParkMobile). So that sucks. This place should at least validate your parking for a set amount of time. Seventh, the bulk of the building is devoted to pickleball. There are several courts all over, while the skating rink is in the very back. When I first arrived, there was hardly anyone playing. But as the night progressed, the pickle ball courts all got lots of us with multiple crowds. Because the backs of the cabanas are super close to pickle ball courts, it would seem prudent to me to put mesh along the back of the cabanas, so that there's no chance of an errant pickle ball flying into the cabana and hitting someone -- let alone flying onto the court and hitting an unsuspecting skater. It seems like this would be a no-brainer from the establishment's perspective, but it hasn't been done. So all of these things made for a mediocre experience. Now what were the good things, you ask? Well, I think if you can bring your own skates, then it's nice to have a place where you can safely practice in NW DC (and without having to go all the way to the Anacostia skate park). But other than that, there's not too much more I can say. If this place were in an inconvenient location, then these 3 stars would fall all the way down to 1 star.

We live close to the Fairfax Ice Rink so were not expecting too much of a difference, but we were impressed as soon as we pulled up into the parking lot. The lobby is expansive with lots of space to walk around, sit down, and put on your skates. The girls at the front desk were SO friendly and helpful -- even volunteering to help us lug in our snow penguins from the rental area to the ice rink when they realized we were outnumbered by little kiddos There is a dedicated hockey rink as well as an Olympic sized rink that we utilized for public skate. My sister did not partake in skating, but was able to watch on the stands. Everything was well maintained and I saw tons of staff cleaning, supervising, and just overall doing an amazing job the whole time I was there. Seriously, color me impressed.

Sick of it and after years of gently suggesting some possible alternatives, like use your many hours of dead ice for just lessons, and allow mid level and beginner players to have the entire ice and you might actually get more of us to come out. Segregate small kids on one side and adults on the other with no lessons if you want to mix ages.
