Wow! Awesome rink! So I came here on. Wednesday night (adult…read moreretro night). It was also the start of the annual Borderline Jam which I was unfamiliar with since I'm just getting back into skating again but there were so many incredibly talented skaters it just blew me away! I am just an average rollerblader. I haven't hit a rink in a quarter century until this past week so I can't even remember how to skate backwards but I still go fast and just flying around the rink listening to music on a great sound system with fun lighting was enough to make me happy and get great exercise too! Admission is usually $10 (I had to pay $15 because of the special event). There are skates to rent but I know nothing more as I have my own. There are plenty of lockers and they are a quarter to lock each time (I was busy skating and never opened it again until I left). The key doesn't have a wrist band so make sure you have a pocket or a fanny pack or something to put it in. There is a snack bar with things like pizza, pizza logs, nachos, popcorn, etc. at a fair price. There are also some alcoholic beverages! There's also vending machines with plenty of snacks and drinks. There is an arcade too which I wanted to play but unfortunately almost every game was turned off and no one at the ticket counter - im not sure if it is like that every adult night or just due to the special event but I wanted to play some games! Staff was friendly but so were the people! Everyone that came up to me was just genuinely being nice and inclusive and not being a creep. That really made me feel happy and excited to come back. What I love the most was all shapes sizes ages colors genders styles and skill sets all harmonized as one. Everyone was really enjoying themselves, getting along nicely, if someone is coming around you fast they will make a noise so you know or they may gently touch you for a moment so you know they rounding you so no one falls. It was really a nice venue with wonderful people where you can feel safe and free from all of the silly arguments you see on social media, or rudeness you see out in the wild quite often. Whether your 80 years old and still able to fly around the rink, younger and full of dance moves on skates that make heads turn, average like me, or just starting out and need some help .. and people there will be happy to help you ... this is the place to be! I really look forward to coming here again soon.

If it's been a while (like probably never) then you should head out to Zone One. This isn't just an ordinary skating rink. It has the biggest rink I've ever seen. You can enjoy gliding on this beautiful surface. Zone One is appropriate for large corporate social events as well as group events and just general having a night out. As the name implies, even though it is primarily for adults at night, there is plenty for kids to do. It strikes me as the kind of place you would rent out for a large event yet you won't break the bank. I had a great time, and plan to return soon. On Amherst Street, just east of Main Street, Zone One is a short walk from the Amherst Metro Rail station and is on bus route 32. I saw no impediments for wheel chair access except the doors are manual. There is a rather high curb by the street so be careful. The staff wore masks, as did customers, but the rules are changing. The ventilation is excellent. The place has plenty of room so keeping a safe distance is easy. Because the venue is new, hours may be flexible. Currently closed Mondays and Tuesday, but this could change.

At nine dollars a piece, $6 Admission and $3 skate rental, it's easy on the wallet. When the windchill is below 20°, other than going to the movies or wandering around the mall, there are not a lot of options for physical activity. Good family fun. We ordered a pizza pie for $12. There is a lot more than just skating they have options of the arcade, bounce houses, laser tag too. Many kids celebrate their birthday there by purchasing a party plan. Glow in the dark atmosphere, with spinning like decorations, and a DJ spinning good tunes, makes for a fantastic time!

This summer the ice skating rink turned into a roller rink! My adult self had no idea how much I…read moremissed retro roller skating. This was such an amazing idea. I haven't been on real skates probably since I was about 10. I had such an amazing time and want to go back when it's less crowded. I happened to go when there was also a silent disco happening which made it even more amazing! Some people skated and did the disco, other chose to hang out and just do the disco. Whatever you preferred was fine. The disco had 3 stations to choose from and everyone was having a ball. Pricing was very reasonable. $6 adult admission, $4 skate rental and the silent disco headphones were $5. You only had to pay for what you needed. There were plenty of rentals available, Pro Tip- women's sizing ran really big. So if you need skates bring some higher socks to protect your ankles and head down for a great time. At different times the rink was a little crowded. Since most people aren't used to skating it could be a little tricky to get around. It definitely took me a few laps to get used to not being on stable ground. After about 30 minutes we were tired and were happy to leave the growing crowd. There were walker type devices to help you get your footing down if you needed some help. One of the more treacherous parts was skating on the sidewalk and into the rink. It might not be a bad idea to put on your skates near the entrance. You can also walk sideways up and down the ramp so you don't roll up and down. They are open most days until the end of October. Check their website for opening times and dates. Follow the Buffalo Waterfront on Facebook to see upcoming weekly events. Snack bar with retro candies and canned alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks available. It was nice to see all kinds of people, different ages and a family friendly event!

Throughout the years, all four of my children have been enrolled in various programs/classes. My three boys all started with the Hockey Skills offering in the Learn to Skate Program. Afterwards they went on and continued with the Learn to Skate program which is geared towards figure skating. This gave them a great base for playing travel and high school hockey. My daughter started in Learn to Skate and went on to private instruction and to eventually teach in the Learn to Skate program. She participated in many competitions and this gave her good experience with handling pressure, gaining confidence, and staying fit. Initially, we had no idea the impact that the Amherst Skating Club would have on our family. Enrolling our kids in Learn to Skate was a great move and helped all my kids stay in shape and become very good skaters. My daughter went on for years and was very active with the club. It was a great experience and feel fortunate to have been enrolled in many of their program offerings.

The Classic hosts high school & youth hockey teams, free-skate sessions, private parties. Once the weather warms up, the Rink will be converted to an outdoor marketplace. Facilities are immaculately clean, which is a tall order, considering the large members of people coming through the building every day. We took advantage of the Skate rentals, until we knew our boys were committed to learning to skate. At that point, we bought secondhand skates for them. There's a limited snack bar in the skating lodge. If you're craving something more substantial, you're within walking distance from some really great restaurants! I particularly love the second floor which overlooks the ice. It's wonderfully comfortable and cozy, outfitted with huge rocking chairs. Come on down during open hours to support the kids!
