Shericia R.

*Pinches self* Is this the twilight zone? Did I wake up in the 80s? Why does my phone say "No Service"? Is there even Wi-Fi? Nope. Did I mention cash only? Everything about this skating rink screams 1980s- from the carpet, to the skates, to the lights, and the entire decor. It's like a renovation has never been done. If retro is your thing, then come here. Personally, I prefer a fusion of retro lights with modern upgrades. There are some arcade games if you didn't come to skate. There is also a concession stand that serves Pizza, corndogs, pretzels and other snacks. The health score is 100, but honestly, I would eat before coming here. There's a party space if you're looking into having a skate party. The music is diverse. While in here, I've heard music from 70s onward. The skates aren't the most comfortable. They're pretty old and it doesn't look like they upgrade them often. The restroom is clean enough to use, which is good since kids have to go every five minutes.

Fun for all ages. A bit chaotic at times but well worth it. Best to bring your own skates.

I have started roller skating as a new hobby and a fun way to burn calories. I decided to try this…read morerink on yesterday because it is open longer on Sundays in comparison to the rink that is closer to me. The lady at the front was nice, but she didn't tell us how much skates/admission were per person. If prices were posted, I didn't see them. Yesterday, it was myself, my husband, and our two boys. I brought my own skates and my husband didn't skate at all. I would have liked to know what the price was for us. Anyhow, the skating floor is big. The DJ played a nice, family friendly variety of music. I must admit. I was s not nervous to stop by because I saw some less than stellar reviews, but I can honestly say my family and I had a good time. None of the workers were rude to us or anyone that we saw. I would be okay with coming back here to skate.

They were asked to leave the premises by the owner. When later approached by the parent they said they did not want people hanging around their property

If I could give zero stars, I would. I traveled from Tuscaloosa, AL to Fultondale, AL for my…read moreGod-daughter's 9th birthday party. The party was supposed to start at 3 pm, but when I arrived at 3:30 pm, nothing had even begun. My sister and her guests were seated in the corner where we waited for over an hour. When we finally got into the room after 4:30 pm, nothing was ready! We had to decorate the room ourselves around the guests, and the pizza took another 30 minutes to arrive after requesting it from the manager. My daughter had turned in one of her Nike Panda Dunks for skates, but shortly after, she decided not to skate anymore. When she went to retrieve her shoe, the one they gave her was worn-out and dirty, and when they brought a second one, it was the wrong size. I went to the front to find the correct shoe, and they couldn't locate it. I waited an hour while they searched, and even the security guard got involved, asking me questions. When I pointed out the employee who took the shoe, she seemed clueless and disappeared after a brief attempt to help. The security guard informed me that they spoke with the owner, and his solution was to keep the other shoe and give his staff until the end of the night to find the missing one. I explained that we were headed to another event, and my daughter couldn't leave without shoes. The owner refused to accommodate us, stating I was being rude for not accepting his suggestion. He hung up on me after saying that was all he had to offer. At that point, I lost my patience. The owner took no responsibility for his staff's mistake, nor did he try to see things from my perspective. The manager made me go outside to talk, and I told her I'd be filing a police report since my property had effectively been stolen. Meanwhile, the employee who disappeared came back with her colleagues, and they took a break while the rest of the staff searched for the shoe. One of them apologized, but when I tried to ask questions, another employee rudely interrupted and rolled his eyes at me, saying, "It's not her fault, didn't we refund your party?" He clearly hadn't even spoken to me before that, as it wasn't my daughter's birthday party. It turns out, they had refunded another party because they had been waiting just as long as us without receiving pizza, drinks, or even a greeting. The entire situation was chaotic. After the police left and I realized I wasn't getting anywhere, I gave my address in the hopes that the owner would send a check if the shoe wasn't found. With all the stores closed, I couldn't buy new shoes for my daughter, so my sister gave her own shoes to my daughter so we could still attend our dinner plans. Thirty minutes after leaving, the manager called to say the owner had decided that if I bought new shoes, I could return the next day for reimbursement. I had suggested that earlier, but the owner dismissed it. I ended up having to stay the night in Fultondale to avoid driving an hour back and forth again. The manager was incredibly apologetic the next day, and they reimbursed me, but the entire ordeal was a massive inconvenience. The staff did their best, but the owner was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. If it weren't for the manager, Caliegh B., who fought hard to resolve the issue, I doubt I would have received my money back. I will never return to this establishment. And, yes, we missed the entire party while I stood around for over an hour waiting for them to search for the shoe. All the other guests had left by the time it was over.

My family has been traveling for a few weeks. We couldn't decide on where to go for our summer trip…read moreso we decided to see how many skate rinks we could skate at before returning home. So far we are day 5 and have skated at 5 different rinks. #11 rinks since NYE! This rink has the best floor of all of them!! It is so easy to skate on it. Nice and smooth but not overly slippery. The floor is clearly marked for newbies to know the area they should stay in without getting in the way of the more advanced skaters. We certainly aren't advanced skaters and hate feeling like we are holding people back. This place is great!! The music was awesome. We watch regulars helping new skaters with points and advice. Overall this has been our favorite rink yet!!!
