Or someone like me that was a bit rusty can feel comfortable going around the rink at their own pace. I didn't go to snack bar- I was too focused on skating. I will tell you to size down one size if you rent skates as they do run big. My one complaint is they don't resurface the ice as frequently as the ice rink I've visited in NY. The staff was very kind and shared excitement with me that my daughter's birthday was approaching in a few weeks. This can definitely become a regular family adventure despite it being about 20 miles from home. And it's affordable!

I had a very unfortunate experience with Rink Manager Peter Montesano, during which he was rude and…read moreunhelpful in every way, and especially on the subject of a simple miscommunication which he helped escalate rather than resolve. The LearnToSkate program is from 9:15-11:15, which overlaps with Adult Skate from 10:00-11:15. Peter tried to make me to pay twice for the Adult Skate program even though I was already enrolled in a program that included that session. He loudly accused me in front of the entire rink multiple times for not registering, even though I had. Then, when I asked a clarification question about skating policy, he laughed at me and was extremely condescending. I felt like I was being targeted because I was a minority there. During my experience with him, instead of being patient and understanding, he was confrontational and extremely unprofessional, purposefully trying to publicly humiliate those unfamiliar with rink policies. I am very disappointed about my experience and hope I never have a run-in like that again. The rest of the staff is great, however, and helped resolve the issue right away.

Very modern architecture. The curves bounce the sound and keep the noise level up. It's a small…read morerink. There are really no bad seats - personally I think the standing room only tickets provide a really nice view. We were lucky enough to get second row seats but part of being so far forward was the disadvantage of an obstructed view of some of the far-side of the rink. It would be nice if they got a Jumbotron so you could see instant replays of the goals. Overall, pretty solid rink for a small school. I guess I am used to bigger stadiums such as Michigan Yost arena.

Came here recently for a birthday party & was actually pleasantly surprised because I had no idea…read morethis establishment even existed. Well first off- the inside and outside are a bit run down. I don't think they have changed anything much since it was built- or it appears that way anyway. Even the roller skating flooring looks original- but I could be wrong. They had about 6 birthday parties going at once- which was fine. The floor is decent sized and they have music- which is great. They also have a decent sized arcade- which is surprisingly affordable but beware- ski ball didn't work, terminator didn't work. I didn't get to try the pizza- but it looked ok. Overall- seemed like not a bad place to take the kids when you're bored if you live nearby & I heard the birthday party packages are extremely affordable! The skates- were not that- great. They were actually really old and difficult to use and maneuver. Even when I was skating straight- they kind of would veer to the sides. But what do I expect? One bummer for sure is- they don't rent rollerblades- but you can definitely bring your own! I'm rating 4 stars based on location, & affordability. I would rate 3.5 overall. Over here there is NOTHING around and quite frankly- we are in the middle of nowhere.
