March 16, 2025 | Orange: What a fun night skating at Holiday Skate Center! My friend & I were invited to a birthday party on a Sunday night here! It was a great chance to celebrate, experience a new skating rink and in a different location; far away from home, but worth it! Inside: It's really tropical inside! I love seeing the sunset decor around the skating rink, the tall palm trees painted along the walls, colorful lighting, as well as colorful groovy carpet! Haha! Also, the place was decorated for St. Patrick's Day, which was the following day! There are lockers to keep valuables for $.50, and a full on concession stand! Crowd: Super friendly, as well as hilarious! We laughed plenty, met so many new people, as well as heard a number of interesting stories! The crowd truly reflected a bunch of the happiest people I've met! The energy was uplifting! Also, it was really cool to see several familiar faces from another skating rink!! While I was able to capture a bit of a skating, I put my phone away for the remainder of the night, when the floor was packed with people!! Music: Different nights, different music; a variety was played! Parking: Plentiful & free! Birthday Party: There were a lot of people, as it was the pastor's birthday! People really showed up for him! The party was catered; there was plenty of food for everyone! Thanks again, very kind & what a delicious surprise! Overall: We had fun celebrating the birthday guy, meeting, laughing & skating with new people, as well as an overall great time! Cheers to a fun Girls' Night Out!

Skating to their favorite numbers!

We wanted to do something unique and different for my daughter's 16th birthday party, and this was it!! I'm so happy that I did my research into the various skating rinks in the area because this totally fit everything that we were looking for as a venue option for her birthday. We ended up going with their recommendation of hosting a Friday evening party where there would be less (younger) kids, better music options as well as the option of guests staying a little longer, if needed. Our daughter and her guests had so much fun, and the staff were really helpful in ensuring that everything went smoothly for us. We will definitely be back!!

Had my bday party here last weekend. Of the different rinks I called they had the availability I needed and the best package. The staff are great! Anthony, manager, was super welcoming, accommodating and clear. Sydney, the DJ, was easy to work with and communicative. And Kyle supported with folks getting their skates and helped out on the rink. Thanks Holiday for making my birthday smooth and special.

The perfect place to bring your kids for a skate on a Saturday morning. Very family friendly. The music was good, and they had lots of skate games for the kids.

A very old school skate center just like the 80s. I don't think a single thing has changed. Even the carpet looks from the 80s.

Ask the Community - Holiday Skate Center

Is this place open? I can't seem to get a response email or phone.

Yes just take care to call during business hours.

I am hearing that this place was sold to a developer and will be permanently closing down in August 2023, is this true? I can't find any information about this other than what I was told.

Still open as of 9/29/2023 🤷🏻‍♀️

Are there lockers for rent?

Yes .50 cents

Does anyone have photos of the shop inside that sells skates, wheels, etc? I'm interested in buying a pair and not sure if I should buy online, Fountain Valley, or Holiday Skate.

If you can, don't go to either! Go to SK8 fanatics in paramount. They will have every bit of equipment you would need for a new pair of skates and they have amazing service and repair as well. You can even make a custom set if you like with your own… 

Do they have an adult night 21+ during the week? And what kind of music?

There are Adult Nights (18+) every Thursday and Sunday, both starting at 8 pm. The Thursday Adult Night features a variety of music, including some hip-hop. The Sunday Adult Night is classic soul and R&B. The Sunday Adult Night draws a mostly older… 

Do they allow you to skate on fiberglass wheels?

Yes!

Do they sell gift cards?

Gift Certificates are available in any amount.

Can anyone give insight to the skating classes? I would like to bring my kids as they had trouble on the rink when we went, and I want them to have fun skating, but does a half hour class really help the kids learn?

No. Don't waste your money. We had a bad experience here. Staff had attitude and we also tried the skate mate which was a mickey mouse pvc pipe they made. The skate mate was a waste because it didn't help. If anything you have a 99% chance of fatal… 

How much is it to rent the skate mate?

She is correct, they are $5 to rent. I saw several children using them just fine though. Out of my two kids, one did great with the skatemate and the other did not benefit from using the skatemate.

Do they have a restaurant or snack bar? If so what do they serve

No restaurant. Basic snacks and foods that you would expect at a high school football game. Come skate, eat elsewhere!

What day is it less busy on?

Friday night and weekend public sessions tend to be the busiest, while week nights Tuesday and Thursday are less so. The daytime afternoon sessions during the summer are also less busy in general.

How much does it cost to get in, also how much are the roller skates?

Admission varies from $7.50 to $9.50 depending on the session, plus $5.00 if you need to rent skates. There are special family rates on Saturday and Sunday evenings where the skate rental is included. A parent must skate with kids to qualify for the… 

Do they rent inline skates (roller blades)?

Holiday does not have inline skates for rent, only quads.

Do they have skates for sale there?

Yes.

What is the best way to contact them regarding birthday parties. I called every day and bunch of times. no pick up. any advice?

You can book most parties through Holiday's website, holidayskate.com. The website has detailed information about party types, prices, and options. You can readily check availability for a specific date on the website. Holiday offers its Ultimate… 

Is it fun?

All the fun!

Do they rent out inline skates?

No, they don't. They rent quads exclusively, but you can still use your own inlines on the rink.

The parking can be a bit difficult as its next to the busy Anahaeim Promenade.

Decent ice skating rink, but the ice could be smoother…read more Arrived at 11am last Saturday and there were still a couple street parking spaces available. They are right outside the rink so parking and walking over was super convenient. The parking has a limit of 90 minutes which is the same amount of time for one skating session so that worked out perfectly. There was also a parking lot nearby but I didn't wander over there. The inside of the facility is huge as well as the ice rink itself. I had registered online ahead of time, so I just had to give them my name at the check in counter. The rental skates are right next to the check in and u just told them my size. I should have gotten half a size smaller than my sneaker size for a snug fit. It's also better to wear thicker socks for a more comfortable wear since the skates can be quite stiff. There are benches to sit and change into the skates. Inside the rink there are benches and locker too (need two quarters). I left my shoes under the bench in the main lobby area and it was fine. One of the skates had wet shoelaces which I thought was weird, but other than that the skates were nice and clean. The inside of the rink area was quite cold so I'm glad I brought gloves. There were more people than I expected. (More than the website was showing how many people registered.) Despite the number of people, there was still a lot of space on the ice. The ice wasn't too bad, but I wish it was smoother. Over time, it got rougher from all the people skating. There were some tiny chips/dips in the ice too, which isn't very safe to skate over. Skating over them caused me to lose balance for a quick second. Thankfully no falls. I wish they would smooth it out at least once during the session. It's quite loud on the ice and hard to talk. The bench area was fine though.

At first I didn't know where to start and it was difficult to find people out on the floor to help. I was struggling to find the right helmet size and was ready to just call it go somewhere that had more staff (just to be clear i work in retail and I know it can be hard to get full staff on a holiday so I don't hold it against the store by any means I just chose the wrong day to shop lol) but then John over at the repair shop offered to help me out with the helmets adjusting them so I knew which size was right. So I kept going back to John to for any questions I had. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional I really appreciate him helping me out even though that wasn't his job to do. Management I want you to know John himself single-handedly kept this customer in the store when they were ready to leave and made sure my 1500 dollar sale didn't walk out the door. Thanks John!

I bought skates on sideline but didn't know anything about sizing for hockey skates and the results were predictably terrible. Everyone in the locker room really wanted to help me and recommend I go to a shop in Anaheim or to hockey monkey in Irvine. The guys vouching for hockey monkey won me over with their stories of how good the staff was. I did not have a good experience, will not go back, and do not recommend. As stated... total beginner. I informed the sales rep, Alex, about my price range and that I'm just getting started and he grabbed some skates. I settled on a a pair and he informed me of the baking process. He baked my skates, laced them up for me, told me he would be right back and that I needed to remain seated for them to cool. Then - unbeknownst to me - he clocked out and went home. I waited there with my family ( we were hard to miss) until a manager came and told me the store was closed. I felt like a complete idiot. I hadn't even paid for the skates yet. I didn't know the process. The manager told me they still needed to be sharpened. They were nice enough to do that after close and the guy doing the sharpening was cool. But I was still really disappointed and felt stupid. Everyone in the hockey community has been cool up until this point. Very discouraging. Here is the kicker. I was just sitting there. Prime customer for gear. You could have sold me waxed laces, orthotics, pads, helmet, Anything! Im super new to the sport and definitely could have used the help. Easy sales. I will be going to the other store the guys recommended in Anaheim and probably play it again or online. Why would I ever go back to MonkeySports?!?
