Even though I live in the city, it felt great to get out and enjoy the nice weather for once…read moreinstead of hiding indoors like some true New Yorkers. My friend was in town and told me about a DJ playing at a roller skating rink, and suddenly I was transported back to the era when roller rinks ruled the City. So we went, both of us pretending we were twenty years younger. When I got off the train in Bushwick, the neighborhood hit me with all the color, murals, and creative energy like it was trying to convince me to move there immediately. It was semi-loud, bright, artistic, and basically screamed welcome to Brooklyn. At the rink, I filled out the waiver on my phone, showed it to the staff, and rented skates for seven dollars. Considering I had not roller skated in many years, I probably should have signed a second waiver promising not to sue if I fell dramatically. But once I put those skates on, the nostalgia kicked in. Back in the day, New York had roller rinks everywhere. Now they are rare, so seeing this place alive and buzzing made me root for it instantly. The rink itself is not massive, but it is big enough to make you feel confident and terrified at the same time. The crowd was a mix of beginners clinging to the rail like it was a lifeline and pros gliding around like skating versions of Michael Jackson. Meanwhile I was in the middle lane praying I would not become the next viral wipeout video. The opening DJ was decent, but the headlining DJ never really materialized. Maybe he was invisible. Maybe he was on a coffee break. Maybe he was spiritually mixing from another dimension. Either way, I was a little disappointed. Music is a big part of the experience and if the DJ is not matching the vibe, it's like dancing with no rhythm. At one point, as a former pro DJ, I even thought about asking for the manager so I could apply for my own DJ set. I mean, how hard could it be? All jokes aside, I had a really good time. My friend and I laughed, the people were friendly, and the atmosphere was fun. I would definitely recommend this place. I have only been once, but I will absolutely go back again, hopefully with better music and fewer near-death skating experiences. Photos coming soon!

I've skated here twice (Autumn and Spring) and enjoyed myself BOTH times…read more I own quad skates, so that $15 rental fee is not a factor. If you do rent, the two-toned suede skates are cute. I believe the electronic locker is $5 and fit 2 jackets, shoes and smaller bags. There was plenty of booth and bench seating near the wide bar and around the edges of the rink. The spacious bathroom is well stocked. The service from the bar was prompt and pleasant. My favorite things were the salmon nachos and coconut water. The surface of the skating floor is smooth, and provide a comfy skating experience even for less frequent/ unseasoned skaters. The center of the floor is dedicated to learners and tricks. At times the stage is accessible for shenanigans & live shows/ DJs. The floor can be very contested on more popular night and sor special events, which less than ideal for faster skaters and easy maneuvering around folks. This is a welcome indoor activity that is weather proof and I approve.

Nice place to skate. Very friendly…read more As an opportunity, they should restrict the number of people who pay for the day use, since the rink is often crowded. We pay a high amount for the season and sometimes we are not able to use it due to the amount of people who pay per day.

This indoor rink is ok. What I will say I can't stand about it???? The music. Skating is supposed…read moreto be fun but with the non stop country music it really misses the mark. Someone who makes these skating playlists obviously loves country. With 80 percent of the skaters being under the age of twenty you all really need to just give up on the country music. I mean... this is the tri state area not upstate or Texas.

It also has skate rental, lockers, food & drink for purchase, and good seating. It's great for all from new skaters, becuase they provide safety walker for beginners.

I went to an event hosted by RollerWave over at Rockaway Beach this past Saturday and have an…read moreabsolute blast! Entry was free (unheard of in this day and age!) and skate rentals were only $20+tax. Believe me when I say the energy of all the skaters, employees and DJ were off the charts! Everyone was positive, enthusiastic, supportive and friendly! There were impromptu conga lines, electric slide dances and smiles aplenty. I must have skated for about 3 hours with only the occasional 3 minute break to catch my breath. In case you got hungry or thirsty, there were small mom n pop food and drink vendors by the entrance charging very reasonable prices. The best part was being amongst such talented skaters! I've only been skating three times now but I feel like I leveled up just by watching others here. If you're new to skating, rest assured that the community is as friendly as they are skilled! 5/5 beach skating event.. thank you RollerWave NYC!

I came here to celebrate my cousin's 10th birthday on 3/5/2022. It is a black-owned business. It…read moreis a decent and spacious space. Admission is $10 and skate rental is $5. The music was very good and was played by a in-house DJ. The folding chairs were okay but weren't sturdy enough. This rollerskating rink is what the surrounding neighborhoods needed to satisfy the need for more indoor recreation. I'm glad they joined the neighborhood, Everyone needs a pair of roller skates....lol I'm kidding. It is a great way to burn calories while rollerskating. I hope that positive energy and positive vibes will remain in this business so that people can come and enjoy themselves safely while having fun. However, business owners just need to take more time to fix the necessary safety precautions to properly ensure that everyone doesn't hurt themselves. There was a metal piece on the floor that was indiscreetly covered by a shoddy rug and that needs to be addressed because it's an accident waiting to happen. Other than that, everything else is all good.

There is a small room before entering the rink with a few tables to sit down at and put your skates on. It becomes very crowded at the end of public skating hours as everyone is in the same area and there aren't many seats so it may be easier to exit the rink a few minutes before the public skating hours end. There are also a few open cubbies to store your belongings in. You need to make an account online in order to use the rink which can be done beforehand or in person with the QR code at the front desk. The ice rink also offers classes for children and adults.

Upon visiting a friend, I was looking around for ice rinks as a place to hang out. And I found…read morethis one to have a more reasonable price point at $15 per skating session which includes skate rentals. The skating session is a bit tricky, it can range from 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours but you would always know in advance upon online signup. The public skating session is available for registration online. As with any skating place, the skates that everyone uses are no good, always good to invest in a pair, more comfortable and won't ruin the experience. It's one hockey size rink with no lockers. They have cubbies to put your shoes and might fit a really small bag. They have vending machines at reasonable prices. Parking lot has a lot of spaces but apparently it does fill up quick. The place is very very very very old, but that didn't matter to me because the rink is good and the ice is not bad, works for the purpose.

Not very smooth per the skaters coming off that were more advanced. The beginner coaches here are very friendly, per some of the other parents, otherwise kids are coming for the freestyle practice sessions ($25) - you can pay online or in-person (though that's slower). The two sheets are the American and Canadian ice sheets. The main lobby has some wooden benches for skaters to put on gear, but if you want a table to work as an adult, go upstairs to the "cafe-ish" and viewing areas over the rinks (which is nice). Need a few more outlets, but you can find a few to charge up your phones/laptops.

The Westchester Skating Academy is the premier ice skating and hockey rink facility in the…read moreWestchester area. In addition to two full sized hockey rinks and skate rentals, it has a hockey and skate shop inside, and a lounge and snack bar upstairs known as Snackish. Snackish Cafe & Grill includes wholesome breakfast, lunch and snacking fare, and specialties like soups to warm you up when you're getting off the ice. I love the hot chocolate with marshmallows, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup with some brown sugar pop-tarts to warm me up and satisfy my sweet tooth. Staff is friendly and there are plenty of tvs upstairs to watch whatever hockey game is on or other sporting event.

Small tourneys, learn-to-skate, public ice, etc. Friendly local Westchester Ice Club. Relatively warm, too. Locker rooms, bathrooms on the older side, but a lot of folks with fond memories of skating and learning how to skate here. They also hold a lot of summer clinics - see posters in the lobby and around the rink.

The staff - headed up by director Haley Ruotolo - is exceptional, and have taught my son how to skate. Haley is responsive, lovely, flexible and accommodating. And the "Learn to Skate" program takes absolute beginners - even the most fearful - and teaches them to skate. And have fun doing it! Class size is kept to a very reasonable limit, and the staff to child ratio is fantastic. We also participated in the vacation "mini-camps", which were a great way to stay active over school breaks, and were a really good value too. Can't recommend this place enough!
