    My family visited Medina Skateland so the kids could skate together. We had a great time at this…read moreroller rink. The rink was clean and well maintained, which made it safe for the kids. The atmosphere was fun but a little old-fashioned. I actually liked that because it reminded me of the skate parties I used to go to when I was a kid. All the staff were friendly and really cared about the customers. The skate patrol even checked on kids who fell to make sure they were okay. I spoke with the owner during our visit, and he told me how hard Covid was for small businesses like his. You can tell they are trying to save money and keep the rink open. The building could use a facelift in some places, but it didn't take away from our fun. For a snack, we ordered a pizza and some pretzels. The food was okay--nothing special--but the kids were happy with it. They ate quickly and went right back to skating. We could tell the kids were having a blast. Overall, it was a great family experience and I would visit again. I recommend Medina Skateland if you want a fun, friendly place to take your kids skating.

    My daughter and I came here on Monday afternoon. It was January 2, a lot of places were closed. We…read morewere so happy to find this open. We love trying new skating rinks! We had so much fun together. They played fun music, a lot from Disney movies. There were lots of people and kids all around my daughters age. She loved it!! They were supposed to be open until three, but stayed open later because there is so many people. We would definitely recommend coming here if you're a skating fan like us! The price was $6/pp and four dollars if he needed to rent skates. They also had a cute little concession stand. We were having too much fun skating, so never got to visit it but will next time. Thanks for letting us. Have a great afternoon together!!

    This place has potential: the pizza was passable, the attractions for toddlers were numerous (think…read moreChuck-E's), and the staff was friendly and attentive. However, IMO as an expert-level skater, this place has a lot of serious and highly dangerous problems that need fixing before I'd consider going there again. The most obvious and notable issue is that there are no skating floor guards. The only floor guard is also the DJ, who aside from having two jobs to do, can only see about 1/3 of the floor from the booth without literally (as in literally, not as in emphatically) sticking his neck out onto the floor. Also, according to a youngster who said he'd been skating there for four years, they apparently only have one rule they enforce, which is that you can't skate against the flow of traffic. This meant that, at any particular point in time, I saw people standing on the rink; sitting on the low wall dangling their skates over the rink; taking a shortcut by walking across the rink (against traffic) carrying their toddlers in their arms or their infants in car seats (I swear I'm not making this up BTW); walking around the rink with their toddler in their arms; laying on the floor with their skates over the rink; jumping onto the rink from two steps up on a razor-style scooter; etc. Just to be clear: I've never seen any of these activities allowed at any other rink at which I've skated. The next major issue is the design and condition of the floor, which was rippled in all four corners. Aside from the already-noted poor design and placement of the DJ booth, there are no markings indicating the floor is a good 6" lower than the main entrance, and the difference is tremendously difficult to detect in the dark. There are also four separate entrances onto the floor, three of which have two extra stair steps to climb to get onto and out of the rink. For bonus points, there's a hockey-rink-style swinging door hidden in the low wall on one end that opens into traffic - If you hit it, it won't close; it will swing fully open. All of these entrances made avoiding the toddlers who naturally head straight for the nearest exit from wherever they are fiendishly difficult. (It boggles my mind that someone insures this place.) I felt bad for the manager, who looked like she expected to get yelled at by an angry parent at any moment, and wouldn't look me in the eye when I went to ask about the floor guard situation. If I were her, I'd get out, and fast.

    My husband and I drove and hour to come here for the first time (it was the closest one to us…read morebecause we live in the middle of nowhere) but apparently Friday is game night, which was not posted on their website or we wouldn't have come. We got to go around the rink once and then they played games for the next two hours with no free skate at all. We left having paid to do one lap around. Very disappointed drive home.
