They allow for skate rentals, bring your own skates, walkers to borrow for those unsteady on skates, and an area to practice. Their is a ref, snack bar, themed skate nights and music. My mom loved to rollerskate when she was younger, and this was a great way for me to honor, celebrate her memory for a fun pastime she enjoyed.

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!

Update from after our party: This was a great and reasonable place for our 2 year olds birthday party. You could invite 15 kids and no charge for their adults. They ordered our pizza for us so we didn't have to pick it up or sign for it (we did still pay for it and chose what to get from Pescis Pizza) You're able to decorate the room 15 mins before the start of your party. We brought in a cooler of drinks for the guests and cupcakes. That along with the pizza felt like enough time for our 45mins in the room after bouncing for an hour. We had kids ranging from 2-10 and I think all the kids had a blast. They texted me a few days prior to check in and provide electronic waivers for guests to fill out prior and reminded to have everyone wear socks. I really appreciated them texting vs calling it's just so much easier.

Thankfully, my size skate was not available at the skate rental counter, so the pressure was off. Well, at least for the first hour. Then skates became available and off I went! For just $3 I was suddenly on the ice. The skates felt good. I remembered how the shoes fit when I was younger and how to stand in them and keep my ankles straight. What I had forgotten was how easy it is get going really fast in almost nothing flat. Yikes! How do you slow down??? Well, I didn't crash, run over any other skaters, or fall down. I'd call it a complete success! There's public skating all year round every day. I was surprised about the walkers and other assists available. This facility is on the #25 Delaware bus route. And yes, there is a real Zamboni machine driven by a Zambonier.

The glow in the dark aspect is neat and adds a fun layer to the game. The entire course is in one room so if it is crowded you're right on top of everyone, which isn't the best. The course itself isn't too difficult, it's mainly just using angles since there isn't a lot of elevation changes. However, the starting point on a lot of the holes where you place the ball, the rug is a bit bunched up so you have to move your ball or else you just hit the bunch. I've gone twice, once on a Friday night which was packed and on Halloween which was abandoned and when I took the pictures. I would recommend this place if you like mini golf, though try not to go at a busy time.
