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 Some of their skates seem outdated, we have been missing insoles and laces too short.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.

Fast forward to now, I've had the pleasure of watching my kiddos take ice skating lessons here! You really can't beat the location-- it lives just off the food court in the Coral Ridge Mall. Pricing seems to be standard (you're looking at about $10 a time with admission and skate rental). Check their website for public skate-- it's offered daily but differs day to day from mornings to afternoons to evenings. Learn to Skate is available for literally anyone-- age 3 and up, all levels! It runs you about $120 a session-- that ends up being about 8 sessions? So with the instruction you are receiving plus the skate rental and two free admissions/skate passes they throw in I feel like it's fairly priced. Learn to Skate classes are Tuesdays or Saturdays. My kiddos started white knuckling on the side and now can zoom on the ice (though there is still much room for improvement). I found the instructors to be insanely patient and kind. The staff was responsive and knowledgable. Overall, Coral Ridge Ice Arena is a great spot to celebrate a birthday, learn to skate or just people watch as you enjoy the food court.

The ice area is great for entertainment, though it could really use a facelift. We took advantage…read moreof the open ice hours on NYE from 1-4pm. There were 6 of us and about 200+ other people. I expected this, but I was shocked that there wasn't anyone in a position of authority patrolling the ice given the number of customers. No one directing the flow of skating, no one telling the slower skaters to hug the wall rather than stand in the middle of the rink. Our experience was fine, but the customer service is crappy at best. All of the little helper aids for kids who need assistance on the ice were loaned out (to some pretty big kids who obviously didn't need them), so the littlest one in our group was too unsteady to skate even with an adult helping him. We got to watch the Zamboni clean the ice, so that was fun. Around 2:30 they made an announcement asking everyone to get off the ice -- kind of a pain when the rink had just opened an hour before. Recommend because there's nothing else like it in the area. Just expect to have to navigate crowds and the fact that you make not get skates in your size.

Review Visit: December 9th, 2012…read more The place where I almost shattered my jaw. That's right. I nearly shattered my jaw while ice skating at the Owens Recreational Center. Matt, Erin, and I decided to stay in the local area and see what we could do without having to drive far to see something new. My friend Adam was a big time hockey fan and suggested I check out the Owens Recreational Center for an evening of fun ice skating. Something new and something fun? Sign me up. We arrived and paid for our skates. Erin declined to take a chance on the ice, so it was just two goofy friends slipping and sliding out on the ice. As a kid, I had a ton of experience rollerblading around my neighborhood. The concept of ice skating had to be familiar to rollerblading, right? It turns out... yes... and no... While the concept is the same, the fact that you are on slippery ice adds a whole new aspect to it. Matt and I had many 'oh crap' moments while getting our bearings but once we got going, we held up pretty well. That's when the trouble started. I got cocky. I got over confident. My ability to adapt and attune myself to whatever it is that I am doing is good and bad. It wasn't long before I was speeding around, zipping and swerving around others. This lasted for quite awhile and I had to stop a few times to catch my breath. Ice skating required a lot more physical activity than I expected. During one of my breaks, Erin urged caution since I was still a newbie and I was going faster than I thought. I took her advice at first but in the heat of the moment and the adrenaline of speeding over ice, I was got going a little too fast and ended up banking a turn a little too sharp. My skate got caught up on the ice and I slammed down hard. Not only did I slam down hard but I landed on the right side of my jaw first and then the rest of my body hit the ice. For a long few seconds, I laid there with the worst going through my mind. All my dental work was destroyed. My jaw was going to be broken. I was going to be on a liquid diet for months while cleaning the wires that held my jaw in place. As I slowly got up and Matt came over to see if I was alright, a wave of relief washed over me. A few wiggles of my jaw and probing of my teeth with my tongue, I knew I was lucky to avoid a trip to the hospital. I didn't get completely lucky as my jaw did swell up a bit, there was a gash on the inside of my cheek and I was sure that I was going to kick myself in the backside super hard later for having the night of skating end a bit early. Yes, after that hard fall I decided to call it quits. We did get to skate for maybe 30 minutes in total which doesn't sound like much but that's more than enough if you aren't trained for skating at all. Aside from my jaw being tender the next day, I remember my ankles and calves were super sore, in a good way. The Owens Center does offer other activities. Obviously after nearly shattering my jaw, I wasn't too keen on exploring the rest of the facility but check out their website below to see if there is anything there that might interest you. And that's how I nearly shattered my jaw.
