We proceed to hand out invitations to my daughter's friends. He calls us an HOUR before the party to tell us he decided not to open the skate center! Terrible communication, super unprofessional. Luckily I was able to take my group and our money to a different skate center in Crest Hill. I will never spend a dime there again.

They do it right here, you're going to have a blast! We came on a normal afternoon and found the place to be inviting and well taken care of. Having been to other rinks in the area this one definitely falls at the top of the heap. It feels a bit pricey but, I think, you're paying up for a quality spot. This place has it all: skate rental, lockers, skate aids, food, seats to spectate, the whole nine yards! And, like I said, it's all well taken care of; and clean too! Not to mention the staff, which is ample and friendly. We had a blast skating for about 1.5 hours and even grabbed a snack at the on-site bar/restaurant (that has full view of the rink! Cool!). I'm a fan of the ice area and will be returning in the future.

North rink is great... south rink is a work in progress…read more I wish we lived closer, because it would be great to catch a Chicago Steel game here. As for youth hockey, it's a nice venue to visit. My son likes the ice here and the seating is great on the North rink. The South rink seems to always be under construction and there was one game a few months back where there were not enough seats for all the parents. There's a Rookie's Pub attached, so it's a perfect complement to watch a game and have a meal (and a beer). The area snack shop is on the expensive side, so it's hard to justify going there when you can have a nicely cooked meal at Rookie's for a few dollars more. The snack shop should really try to compete by offering competitive prices and options. I saw the comment about no drinking water from 2022. Well, it's almost 2023 and the fountains still don't work, though the bottle filler does. There's a lot of ticky, tacky complaints from other reviews, but overall, you'll enjoy your time here.

You don't feel like just another customer--they make you feel valued and appreciated every single visit. The space is always clean, organized, and full of fun.

I'm 30 and still enjoyed it very much! It's not very big but they have a nice set up. They have food and drinks. They have a game section. They keep their floor nice. They have nice employees. Some of their skates seem outdated, we have been missing insoles and laces too short. You can take them back up to the counter and they will happily replace them though. They can sometimes do "glow skate" for a little longer than my family enjoys. It hasn't been like that every time, so I'm not sure how long it's supposed to be. I don't mind skating in the dark a little but for an hour is too long for me. Even my kids were complaining that particular visit. Overall it's a pleasant family oriented place.

ONCE UPON A TIME.......IN LOMBARD…read more This beloved indoor entertainment center is still hanging in there after 40+ years. I'll admit, I didn't have "attend a work outing at Enchanted Castle" on my 2025 bingo card, yet here we are. I found myself reminiscing about birthdays from the past, how many tokens I spent here as a preteen, and what on earth I was doing at a kids entertainment center with a group of engineers. As they've been since 1983, Enchanted Castle on Roosevelt Rd in Lombard is a one-stop shop for fun.  They have party rooms, a large arcade with ticket counter and 7-8 different attractions.  It's like a bigger version of Chuck E Cheese with a medieval theme, a Dave & Busters aimed at kiddos. You can pay for things a la carte, or get a $40 "max pack" that gets you a $15 game card and access to any 3 attractions.  Our large group hit up the arcade, mini golf, laser tag, and go karts.  One staffer helped us out during our time here, and kudos to her for being patient when we couldn't make up our minds on what to do next. I'll start with the best: the go karts ($9/pp).  Although the track itself is small and not terribly exciting, these go karts were peppy and handled well.  You get a decent number of laps, too, and it must be popular enough to warrant having its own dedicated entrance off to the right - Castle Karts. Next came laser tag ($9/pp).  The packs seemed heavy, but the guns were very accurate IMO.  It was a 'capture the flag' objective and despite a small arena, there was just enough space to move around.  They also have Route 66 mini bowling ($5/pp), bumper cars ($5/pp), a scaled down 'Scrambler' type ride ($5/pp), and a playground area with slides ($5/kid). The glow in the dark Black Knight's "Adventure" Golf ($7/pp) was the weak link of the bunch.  9 holes of poorly lit, uninspired putt putt with odd scenery choices - they couldn't decide between skeletons or squires - and lazy hole design led to several in our group bailing partway through.  One girl even twisted her ankle walking around an obstacle!  This is an area that could definitely benefit from a facelift or new attraction. Back in the 90's and early 2000's, Enchanted Castle had a 3D motion theater that played several iWerks films like Dino Island, Alpha One Cowboy, and Red Rock Run.  This wild motion simulator was always the highlight of my visit, but I can't find ANY record of it in web archives..... was this a fever dream?? Their arcade has a mix of new and old, lots of ticket redemption games with flashy shoot-em-ups sprinkled in.  They had Beat Saber VR (for a whopping 24 credits) as well as some vintage games like the one where you use an air cannon to shoot out the clown's teeth.  Many years ago, they had a dedicated area for pinball machines....now they have none.  *sigh* I expected very little from the food and was pleasantly surprised.  The italian beef ($12) was pretty good, no complaints about the fries.  The large appetizer platter ($40) had a little bit of everything: 7 mozza stix, 7 wings, 7 tenders, 12 mini tacos, and 8 pretzel sticks with dipping sauces.  They also had beer on tap @ $6.50 per pint, not too bad. * TL;DR * Enchanted Castle is supposed to be for young'ins, but if you have fun here as a grown-up I won't tell anyone. Being in business for 43 years is no small feat, especially when you consider the sweeping effect COVID had on the realm of indoor entertainment.  I'm amazed (and relieved) that Enchanted Castle's drawbridge has stayed open despite so much volatility in the world.  I don't imagine that the handful of folks we saw on a Thursday afternoon is representative of how much foot traffic EC actually gets. Here's to hoping they have many more years ahead of them, making joyful memories for scores of kids in the western Chicago suburbs.  I'd hate to see an indelible part of my childhood be gone for good. "The handsome prince raced his mighty steed around the go kart track, while the beautiful princess enjoyed several games of Skee-Ball.  And they played happily ever after!"

We like this place and our toddlers love it!…read more I've been here on and off for the past few decades with a variety of groups; today it was 3 adults and 3 toddlers. For a gloomy weather day post Christmas to get the littles out of the house this was a great adventure. We spent the first hour upstairs in the kiddie section of the arcade and spent about $20 worth of "tokens" on our reusable card between ride on machines, air hockey, candy pick up games, and driving games. We went downstairs when we were ready to eat some pizza, mozzarella sticks, curly fries, and hot dogs. Once we ordered we decided to do a half hour game which was $28 for 2 shoe rentals. We made it work so the grown ups could watch and "help" the toddlers push the ball down the ramp into the bumpered lane. We'll be back and recommend this place to local families. Extra points for all restrooms having changing tables, men's & women's! Expect a loud noise environment with teenage workers, and you'll be all set.

The open skating rink featured a lot of people here. Staff was attentive to make sure no one was lollygagging and helping out the little ones and some adults that fell down a lot. This place has a few hockey Rinks inside and this place has a lot of activities going on here as well. Everything about this place is fairly maintained as well. On certain days the parking can be a little chaotic especially when they have hockey games or practices here. Overall, I did enjoy my visit here. Definitely check this place out!

There was pretty limited seating inside the rink we were on. There were a few hightop tables near our teams' locker room, and the rest of the seating looked like rollaway bleachers. I can't speak to the quality of the glass for shooting here, but the rink was pretty dark compared to others I've been in, so my photos on the bench came out darker than anticipated. The lighting was also warmer than expected. I do have to say that while hockey is a chippy sport, some of the fan behavior from the home fans was concerning, despite how loud some of our teams' fans may have been. Nothing to dig on the rink but just something to keep in mind! I do like that this rink had a well sized pro shop available. It came in handy for a few of our players. One final thing I want to note is that the restrooms are not located in the central lobby or in both rinks. They're located only in one of the rinks, so if you were on the rink we were, you had to leave the game and go to the other rink to get it. The women's restroom wasn't super accessible either. There's an incline as you go in, and the walkway between the stalls and the wall was slim.

Note: This review is for pubic/open skate…read more All Seasons Ice Rink gets the job done. It isn't glitz and glamor but the skates are sharp, the ice is cold, and the staff is cordial. We had a quick visit during their open skate hours and found everything to be as one would expect. While not the most impressive facility we found the entire experience, from skate rental to skate return, to be pleasant and fun. The one item that didn't make much sense to me, however, was their lack of skating aid for kids. Now look, I'm no expert on ice skating but it seems like a nice to have. When we inquired they said they didn't have them because it was an "insurance risk" (which to me seems like a blanket non-answer...). It just seems odd that every other rink I've been to has them but at this one it's too risky... That said, we had a good time and I have nothing else to either point out nor write home about. With many rinks reducing/eliminating their open skate hours this is a good option if you're in the area.
