They do offer classes which I will take as well and we met one of the owners who was so gracious and he gave a friendly reminder that they do have lessons. We went on Sunday which was gospel skate day from 1pm-330 and it is free to the community. This is every Sunday! Donations are encouraged and if you need rentals it's $3. I think that is a tenfold blessing that they do that! This will be our go to after church. It was beautiful to see families skating of all ages! Loved seeing and feeling COMMUNITY:)

I am in my third season at Johnny's playing C3 hockey. This place is as good as it gets! From the…read morefirst time i walked in that smell of ice house hit me, and i knew i had found my home away from home in Chicago. The main reason to come here is to play hockey the ice is always good, the players are fun to compete with (the occasional goon, but its hockey ya gots to have some goons), they have a Gunzo's for sharping/tape/gear etc ,and last If you leave a pile of money on the floor of the locker room it will magically turn into a bucket of tall boys during the game. The reason to stay at Johnny's post game is The Stanley Club. This is the bar that overlooks the rink. The barkeeps are always spot on. The crowd is as you could have guessed hockey players, girlfriends/wife's of hockey players, and friends/fans of hockey. The bar is wood paneled and covered in hockey memorabilia. They are sponsored by Labatt's which is great since Labatt's is hard to find in this city. They also have Rat hockey most days of the week and fitness skates in the morning. If you play or just plain love watching hockey get your ass over to Johnny's IceHouse east or west!

Extremely frustrating. Without reservations or time limits, getting on the ice outside of work and…read moreschool hours is almost impossible unless you arrive over an hour early. We've tried twice, and the wait was extremely long. Beyond that, people save spots in line for their friends an family, so more people are ahead of you than you think. There should be at the very least a time limit for people to be on the ice, similar to how Rosemont does it.

We went on a very hot July Saturday early afternoon I know it's me on summer and the attraction…read moreseem like they should be done at night or at everything going on in the city I felt safe for coming coming in the afternoon with my daughter We did purchase online which save some time we went with a package that included the Mini golf axe throw and the go kart racing My strategy was to go with the theme that would be a long time we went to those 1st so we did the golf cart racing it's maybe about 15 or 20 minutes around the course but it's a very small course small course and a basically control like the Turbo speed which seemed to be a bad idea 2 young guys were racing each other and they hit the Turbo speed and they were unable to control their vehicles and crash on top of each other were one of the young men substain a substantial abrasion to his cheek. Also make sure that you secure your belongings because my daughter's phone pop out of her pocket then hit the floor of the vehicle and then bounced out onto the ground Next we did the ax throw which we're only supposed to get 2,3 throws but the young lady let us continue until we hit the target because we were the only customers over there so she let us get multiple turns which was really cool Lastly was the Mini golf they don't give you a pencil or a piece of paper or to keep score is really freestyle freestyling and people are walking around the course and kinda in the way so don't think of it as a complete game from start to finish you might have to alter courses But I think my favorite part was the Instagram worthy props and photo ops located all around the property to take some really awesome shots group shots in my daughter and I really got some nice photos together

My friends and I went on a Saturday night because they were new in town and to celebrate a…read morebirthday, so we figured this was a fun outing. When buying tickets online, you have to select a time slot, but that feature is completely useless. You can arrive whenever on your ticketed date and stay as long as you'd like. The problem is that on busy nights you face extremely long lines for the attractions and the park is over crowded- especially during COVID! There was no capacity limit set, no one (staff especially) was wearing masks, even though we were outside, social distancing wasn't enforced, and the props (axe, golf clubs and balls, go kart machines) weren't cleaned after each guest. Every attraction we headed to there was a long line, at least a 30 minute wait-- go karts have the longest line. Overall, Neon Summer is a nice concept, but they need better time management and crowd control because it was not enjoyable to wait 30+ minutes in every line, including the bars. If I were to go back it would be on a weekday or in the afternoon. The park is open to kids and adults, and kids can do all of the activities except axe throwing. On the website it states closed toe shoes must be worn, but that wasn't enforced. Staff was friendly and easy to talk to.

I came here to try ice skating for the first time in 25 years. Open skating fees and skate rental…read morefees are comparable to other arenas in the area. But, the perk here is that they don't charge more for non-residents to skate, so if you're bringing non-local friends, they won't have to pay more than you (unlike Evanston and other skating rinks). I do wish that they had some sort of pass card though like Evanston and Wilmette rinks both offer. Their website is a bit dated and confusing, but I sent them a message on Facebook to confirm their public skate hours and they got back to me within minutes, which was nice. They also have skate sharpening, which I definitely need before I try skating again (but haven't used that service yet). The rink itself is nice. It wasn't too crowded when I went during the week a week before Christmas, and the skaters I did meet were friendly. The woman at the desk was helpful as well. I'll definitely come back.

I used to go here when I was little. I thought ice skating would be like riding a bike. Nope...not…read moreat all! This was the first time my 6.5 year old son tried it and he was able to use a skate assistant sled. Unfortunately, the usage time is limited for others to use as well. And if a person didn't return theirs in the 20 minute slot, noone bothered going out to get it. So we patiently waited A few weeks later we go back here for a birthday party. I think we had an hour in the room and another hour on the rink. Not bad, but we felt rushed in the room eating & cake. Then, at the ice rink they had FOUR skate assistant sleds for us to use. Now, it's a party with about 20 kids, most of whom haven't skated before. So 'sharing' the sled was an issue. I asked someone that worked there if we could borrow more (because I know that had more & they weren't being used on the other side), but she said we are only allowed 4. Boo!

This is a nice barn with an ODR (outdoor rink). Nuff said…read more The locker rooms are nice for a barn and the bathrooms are clean. Based on what we saw, the programs here are well managed and the ice is well maintained (though a little rough in patches). There is plenty of parking if you're visiting. The only complaint is that the "so-called" visitor seating is very small and as a visiting parent I was shocked to be asked to move to the "right" section. Of course I didn't, because I was comfortable at center ice so I could see my son play at both ends. Aside from the unfriendly welcome from the opposing team, I think this is a great place to enroll your kids or come in for an open skate!

My issues with this spot is how expensive the residential season pass is for the lack of quality…read more It's $100/$125..... Admission fee is $6. Oakton offers the same admission fee only their Resident/Non-resident prices are $65/$75 (significantly cheaper). Quality of the ice. The rink isn't even smooth. Never once have I been here and the ice was smooth. Huge gashes in the ice which cause the less experienced skaters to fall more frequently. It's very dangerous actually. I DO NOT recommend this rink if you're a new skater or would like to teach your young ones how to skate. A better option that is the same price, better quality ice and a much safer experience would be Oakton Ice in Park Ridge. It's worth the extra mile honestly.
