If it's been a while (like probably never) then you should head out to Zone One. This isn't just an ordinary skating rink. It has the biggest rink I've ever seen. You can enjoy gliding on this beautiful surface. Zone One is appropriate for large corporate social events as well as group events and just general having a night out. As the name implies, even though it is primarily for adults at night, there is plenty for kids to do. It strikes me as the kind of place you would rent out for a large event yet you won't break the bank. I had a great time, and plan to return soon. On Amherst Street, just east of Main Street, Zone One is a short walk from the Amherst Metro Rail station and is on bus route 32. I saw no impediments for wheel chair access except the doors are manual. There is a rather high curb by the street so be careful. The staff wore masks, as did customers, but the rules are changing. The ventilation is excellent. The place has plenty of room so keeping a safe distance is easy. Because the venue is new, hours may be flexible. Currently closed Mondays and Tuesday, but this could change.

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.

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!

My first experience was Brewfest, where the wide expanse of the ground floor made it a perfect space for hosting multiple vendors without traffic jams. I came back for the silos, twice. Once they were hosting a chalk festival, allocating enough space in their outdoor half as well. Last year we returned in late October for a haunted story tour. You'll need to bundle up as the silo is not heated for cold nights, but the experience was entertaining and well thought through. Their main building however had excellent temperature control. Last night we attended a concert at the venue. There was ample paid parking (cash only, bring a tenner) and the entrance is clearly marked. They take security seriously with metal detecting and staff by the stage without feeling overbearing. They are there to help keep the fun safe, not be party poopers. They let people crowd surf and mosh, helping them down to avoid potential injury. The tickets were digitally scanned at entry before you hit the cafe. One of our party splurged on buying herself dinner, which she admitted was pricey. Though she did also mention it was very fresh and delicious with higher quality standards than most venues. This may be because you can get dinner here at their restaurant, doubling down as the place to be. My friend said he comes every year to watch Roller Derby as well. I've yet to hear anything bad about this place, which lets me comfortably say I might just have to peruse their event calendar for this little sparkling gem.

The inside was well ventilated and they ended up turning on the indoor fans for circulation which was super nice. They even handed out waters during the show! I was pleased. The weird issue was that people were trying to use the bathroom or call rides after the show and security was kind of rude about kicking everyone out.

    Wow! Awesome rink! So I came here on. Wednesday night (adult…read moreretro night). It was also the start of the annual Borderline Jam which I was unfamiliar with since I'm just getting back into skating again but there were so many incredibly talented skaters it just blew me away! I am just an average rollerblader. I haven't hit a rink in a quarter century until this past week so I can't even remember how to skate backwards but I still go fast and just flying around the rink listening to music on a great sound system with fun lighting was enough to make me happy and get great exercise too! Admission is usually $10 (I had to pay $15 because of the special event). There are skates to rent but I know nothing more as I have my own. There are plenty of lockers and they are a quarter to lock each time (I was busy skating and never opened it again until I left). The key doesn't have a wrist band so make sure you have a pocket or a fanny pack or something to put it in. There is a snack bar with things like pizza, pizza logs, nachos, popcorn, etc. at a fair price. There are also some alcoholic beverages! There's also vending machines with plenty of snacks and drinks. There is an arcade too which I wanted to play but unfortunately almost every game was turned off and no one at the ticket counter - im not sure if it is like that every adult night or just due to the special event but I wanted to play some games! Staff was friendly but so were the people! Everyone that came up to me was just genuinely being nice and inclusive and not being a creep. That really made me feel happy and excited to come back. What I love the most was all shapes sizes ages colors genders styles and skill sets all harmonized as one. Everyone was really enjoying themselves, getting along nicely, if someone is coming around you fast they will make a noise so you know or they may gently touch you for a moment so you know they rounding you so no one falls. It was really a nice venue with wonderful people where you can feel safe and free from all of the silly arguments you see on social media, or rudeness you see out in the wild quite often. Whether your 80 years old and still able to fly around the rink, younger and full of dance moves on skates that make heads turn, average like me, or just starting out and need some help .. and people there will be happy to help you ... this is the place to be! I really look forward to coming here again soon.

Our little kids love this program and look forward to their Monday night classes. The Classic hosts high school & youth hockey teams, free-skate sessions, private parties. Once the weather warms up, the Rink will be converted to an outdoor marketplace.

We took advantage of the Skate rentals, until we knew our boys were committed to learning to skate. At that point, we bought secondhand skates for them. There's a limited snack bar in the skating lodge. If you're craving something more substantial, you're within walking distance from some really great restaurants! I particularly love the second floor which overlooks the ice. It's wonderfully comfortable and cozy, outfitted with huge rocking chairs. Come on down during open hours to support the kids!

    I finally get to use the word Zaboni in a Yelp review!…read more After not having ice skated for a length of time that is longer than almost everyone still standing is alive, my friends decided they wanted to ice skating and wanted me to go with them. 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.

Ice is zambonied during high-volume times to keep everyone a little safer and it's an inexpenisve urban diversion for an hour or two. Outside of the "warm room" you use to rent and lace up skates, it's very cold throughout. There is coffee and hot cocoa available during high-traffic open-skate nights. Friday nights are, as one might recall from one's own youth, packed to the gills with preteens and teenagers of varying degrees of obnoxiousness. It's all ages and all skills, so be prepared to go around a fallen skater or two (or, alternately, to be that fallen skater). There's plenty of free parking behind the building, bathrooms, and snack machines. It's all cash-only for everything, so make sure to hit that ATM. Cheap, weekly adult skating lessons are offered. I am considering checking these out and will update. If one were to complain about anything, the open-skate hours are...really weird. Like, see the photo, but all over the place. I suspect hockey and other organized events take up most of the available ice time, but how many people head out to ice skate at 11 AM on a Monday?
