Galaxy Skateway was a fun afternoon for us. To be able to rent shoes and go skate for aome physical…read morefun now-a-days is very cool still. Galaxy skate had a whole system in place, with payment to picking skates to people helping in the skate rink. Fun lights and definitely temperature controlled so it was cool inside. This is a big plus since you work up a sweat sometimes going fast. Entrance feels not the happiest and a little unwelcoming - would suggest the front security person and register person have a little training in customer service and a smile. Its OK to be tough and be kind. The 1st encounter should always feel welcoming. Price was very clear online so what i expected to pay was accurate. And the skates and tables were nicely spread out. Food spread to another area as well. Lots of tables to hang and eat and talk. We skated for an hour + enjoyed the music. Thanks for an easy activity for kids and adults.

Our package included pizza, which was a nice touch, but everything else on the menu was definitely overpriced. Overall, a fun experience -- just be prepared to spend a little extra if you want more than what's in the package.

My 11 year old daughter has been taking group skating lessons for 3 weeks now and she loves it. The…read morestaff are very friendly and they are really good with the kids. I have even seen some adults out on the ice learning to skate too. The class is 45 minutes long. The instructors start off with some warm up exercises to the beat of some music and this lasts about 5 minutes. The music is then turned off and they break the students up in groups which is based on their experience levels. They then work on different techniques; starting, stopping, going backwards etc. That lasts 35 minutes. The final 5 minutes is free skate with the music back on and everyone skates in a big circle. Pure fun. I forgot how much I paid for the lessons, but I think it was in the 100 range for 4 lessons. The sessions are usually 8 weeks long, but my daughter started in middle so we were prorated. The reason why I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 was because the rental skates suck. The skates are beat up and the blades are dull. Beyond that the lessons are solid. Remember to tell them Dan sent you and bring a jacket because it's cold in there:)

I've been to my fair share of ice skating rinks and I've never been to one that caters to so many…read morestudents and not offer a student discount. I just found it strange, however, they do offer an additional item that I've never seen either. Complimentary hot chocolate for everyone who purchased a ticket to ice skate. The quality of the rentals aren't too great... it was not only the fact that my skate hurt but it hurt to the degree that I had to take several breaks because of the pain. When I went to take my break to get my hot chocolate, the king stared to get long because whoever was the cashier was not there and chatting in the back. The two food preparers saw us and didn't say anything, not even a greeting or "there will be someone with you soon". That in my opinion is a complete lack of training and lack of customer service. I do have to give credit where credit is due. The rink itself is probably one of the largest ones in the area and well kept, clean, and friendly towards kids, but it definitely needs improvement in terms of additional services offered and customer service itself.

So to start with I really like the locker rooms, size and space is good but could use a certain…read morespot for sticks. My main problem has to do with the bathrooms and locker rooms. For the bathrooms, I've only seen the woman's but only one stall has a lock and that's a small one so if someone in a wheelchair had to use the bathroom they can't since the door doesn't shut. The ice is a bit bump and kinda needs to be redone by the zamboni door. Also, I was jumping the doors and, these ones here are tall and skinny, the metal pillars that hold the boards together kind of stick out and while I was jumping the boards I got cut on my stomach.

Right from the first day everybody here was so friendly and getting checked in each time I come has been a breeze! The prices here are reasonable and it costs $14 for admission and if you need skates it is another $6. Luckily for me I can come when I want and get skates included in my lessons. The place could definitely use a little bit of a touch up but they do have a food and drink area as well a concession stand that has pretty decent prices. I have gotten their hot chocolate a couple times and it is very refreshing and warms me up nicely after a lesson of ice skating! They have open skating in the morning and afternoon but I do wish they could have a little more control over the open skating because there have been so many times I've almost run over kids because the staff members are not watching kids that are going sideways or the wrong way as everyone else. Overall an amazing Ice Arena , which could use a little bit of a refresh, but nothing that would prevent me from coming here in the future when I'm done with my lessons!

We were able to bring everything we needed, and the hostess was professional, flexible, and quick to assist with anything that came up. The kids and parents had an amazing time.

The RINK is a pop up holiday ice skating rink in Las Olas Oceanside Park. It is across the street…read morefrom A1A. Parking is available at the garage or at nearby street spaces that are metered. This "ice" skating rink is not your typical rink. Instead of ice the rink is 4,000 square feet of eco friendly self lubricating, dual layer tongue and groove panels. There is no need for refrigeration. It acts just like ice. The rink isn't that big but it's decorated for the holidays and they play festive music. The novelty is getting to skate outside when the temperature is today 81 degrees. I even saw Santa getting his groove on this morning. Sessions are $20. This a great date night idea or a unique thing to bring the kids to do. It is also pretty fun to watch South Floridians who have never been on ice trying to skate. Hurry in because the rink will only be here until January 1st.

It is NOT ice and does not feel anything like ice. Furthermore, the signage at the rink never makes this clear. The "ice" is simply white plastic tiles. The skates don't work at all, they just slip until you fall down. The experience is not enjoyable for anyone. Almost all the other people I encountered in the rink seemed pretty unhappy with the experience as well. Kids are bound to be frustrated, especially if they know what ice skating is really like. These folks should be shut down for false advertising as it is not clear that what is on the floor is not really ice based on the signs out front. Avoid this place unless you want to be ripped off.

Game‑saver at Pure Hockey Pompano…read more Five stars is not enough. Shane and Miranda at Pure Hockey in Pompano Beach delivered the kind of customer service you almost never see anymore. I walked in with an emergency skate repair about an hour before ice time. The clock was not my friend. They listened, triaged the issue on the spot, gave me clear options, then got to work immediately. No excuses, no upsell, just pros who care about getting players back on the ice. They treated my skates like their own, moved with urgency, and kept me updated so I knew exactly what was happening. The repair was finished just in time, and because of Shane and Miranda I made my skate and had a great session. What could have been a wasted night turned into a win. This is elite‑level service. Calm under pressure, precise work, and genuine kindness. I will be recommending every single player I skate with to go see them for any hockey need, from repairs to gear. To the Pure Hockey team reading this, put an A on their jerseys. To Shane and Miranda, thank you for the clutch save. You earned a customer for life. - Rocky Wilson, local player

The excellent customer service started with my first call over to the shop. I had called a couple…read moreother places in the area, and the people over the phone were not nearly as helpful or friendly. I will admit, I went to the shop not for hockey-related needs. I needed help heat molding my new figure skates and having the blade set properly to the boot. All three staff members that I worked with at the store were super helpful and provided me great guidance. Even though they are a hockey store, they can provide some assistance to people with figure skates. As there aren't a lot of figure skating shops in South Florida, I was very appreciative to know that they could do heat molding and can help sharpen blades in the future. The store is quite large and appears to have a lot of hockey related gear. It's bright and very clean. I witnessed one of the staff members helping a young boy try hockey skates out and, she was very knowledgeable and patient with the family. I would certainly recommend Pure Hockey to anybody who deals with sports out on the ice.
