Skate City Arvada is my favorite rink in the Denver and surrounding areas. As an avid skater, this rink feels like home. I love that you can glide on and off the rink without having to step up or down. It feels like a safer environment and the rink is smooth. I've made wonderful memories in this rink and will continue coming back time and time again. I mean what's more fun than getting those step back in time nostalgic feels? read more

What an absolute GEM!!! This place has brought so much joy into my life, I can't even express what a treasure it is. Their Summer card $1 session (that hasn't changed in price in SIXTY years!!!) is a gift to the greater Denver surrounding cities. This is an act of kindness by the owners, who I would love to meet one day and thank them personally for financing pure joy for others read more

This Skate City location is a bit of a trek for us, but it's absolutely worth it for the adult nights. Saturday nights at the Westminster Skate City is something I always look forward to. They do a great job creating a space where you can just skate, unwind, and have fun. I also appreciate that this company offers different adult nights across their locations. It makes it easy for me to skate multiple times a week without it getting repetitive. The regulars here are always friendly, which makes a big difference. It's a welcoming environment, and I consistently have a great time every time I come. I haven't run into the same issue with gum on the floor at this location. The rink floor has been in better shape overall in my experience. Just like with the other locations, the staff and management are friendly. Overall, I really enjoy this place and always look forward to coming back. read more

We have been twice recently and always have a blast. It's great for my 5yo but there are clearly kids of all ages having a blast. The staff is awesome - someone named Caitlin (spl?) was very kind helpful at concessions, the MC was engaging and fun, and the check in person was positive and professional. Will def go back. read more

The people at this place are really interesting to say the least. The employees brake the rules that are supposed to follow. Like I saw an employee on their phone while on the rink. Other than that when I went to go get my skates no one was at the booth, so I waited for like 5 minutes before an employee came over. Once we got through those issues they had fun games and the employees attitudes were nice enough. read more

Great place to learn to skate. I signed my daughter up for beginner skate lessons after attending a bunch of birthday parties here and having to use the skate trainer. She really wanted to learn and it is an in expensive activity (30 for a month and it includes free skate for 2 hours after) but I wasn't expecting such wonderful instruction from a top notch skater. I was really impressed with the amount she learned just the first day. We were also able to sign the family up for an annual pass to skate on Saturday's from 10-12 for $10 each. We have really enjoyed spending time at skate city. read more

Had an amazing time celebrating my daughter's birthday. Atmosphere was great. Rehianna was amazing and very helpful. Millie was a great host. My entire party had a great experience. We will definitely be back. The entire Skate City crew was respectful and welcoming. read more

I can't recommend this place anymore. It's really frustrating. It seems to be the only game in town for roller skating lessons for kids. The only other place I could find only offers outdoor excursions for kids with their parents. The lessons were all 18+ at a nicer roller skating rink, Roller City. Everything was broken when we've visited. Toilets, tables, seats, wifi. I hate sitting around here waiting for my kid to finish lessons. It's abysmal and depressing. read more

Three stars for Adult Skate night! First time visiting and I really enjoyed being transported back to the 1990s. Seriously! This place is no fuss and affordable. $24 for two people gave us 2.5 hours of skating with rentals. I had zero expectations and had a lot of fun. Adult night was great even if I nearly got taken out by some folks with way more skill than me. Crowd was an interesting mix too! All skills. I was a beginner and really enjoyed seeing professionals (yes, really!) do their thing. Lockers are $1 (4 quarters only) but just wear a fanny pack and some old shoes you don't mind leaving out and you're good to go! read more

When you just wanna skate, feel a cool wind under you as you go fast or slow in the rink is amazing. It is mostly ran by young, kind adults, which is dope to see young people working at a good place for families and friends to have a good time. The food here is basic, but just like growing up, in another state, the skate rinks are all the same. Don't have high expectations, stay neutral on that and remember to have fun! That is really what you came for! -They have rental skates and some styles/sizes for sale, and some lockers, candy and snack selections. My son learned how to skate here, note for parents they also rent hand rails on wheels! You and your loved one/s are going to make beautiful memories. read more

Yeah, skate facilities are known to be a bit grimy and not the cleanest places... but this place goes beyond that. The bathrooms were beyond disgusting. They had zero soap and instead threw up some massive generic bottle of hand sanitizer. Of which, no kid would even use that (I witnessed first hand) probably due to the size and their inability to read and know what it's for ‍ I mean they are young kids that frequent places like this, make the conveniences easy for them to use... the toilet areas were dirty, unkept and clogged easily (witnessed again first hand) The kids leaving the bathrooms never washed their hands and went straight to the games... and I can pretty much guarantee those don't get cleaned either. If this place wants more customers... and survive as a business, I would highly recommend an overhaul on the bathrooms, and hire someone to be cleaning and maintaining the facilities and common areas at all times. read more

Met a bunch of friends here for the adult skate and had a blast. The tunes were pumping, the floor was jamming and there wasn't a kiddo to be seen. They must have recently installed new carpeting because I didn't notice any sweaty butt marks on the seating next to the rink. Super fun and I'll be back. read more

Skate City - Skating Rinks Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

It was a great family place. The music was appropriate for all ages. We had a birthday party here for a second year, and the staff here are nice. Bridget was a great host and very attentive. I wish the birthday time was longer because you have the cake, ice cream and pizza to do, so that can take an hour, and you only get 2 hours to skate. Other than, it was nice. Thank you staff! read more

I get that most of the employees here are teenagers so I'm willing to cut them a little slack, but the level of rudeness and incompetence is still astounding. Every employee I interacted with from the ticket purchase to skate rental to concessions was incredibly unpleasant. It's a horrible place to try and bring a small child because unlike other rinks they won't let you assist a small child without putting skates on and they force anyone using a skate trainer off the rink multiple times an hour for "games". My four year old left in tears because she wanted to keep skating and they wouldn't allow me to accompany her. read more

Tried take my son and daughter skating for the first time. Skate police enforcer guy stopped us four times in thirty minutes constantly telling us what we were doing wrong. In the middle of this we had to get off of the floor for "the get down dance" (not the most child friendly thing...force people off of the skating rink because a child must be able to squat down while skating which implies they're proficient at skating). Soon thereafter, my daughter started crying that she wants to get off of the floor because she wants to take a break (mind you she's moving at significantly slower pace than the rest of traffic because she's five and it's her first time). I had to skate backwards for no more than 5 meters before...you guessed it...here comes Walker Texas Ranger of the skating rink scolding us for going in the wrong direction. My daughter at this point has passed the closest exit so, as to not go against the direction of skating traffic with a mind boggling 8 people on the skating floor and to get her off safely. I quickly pick her up and try to skate her off the floor at which point said enforcers has an overt panic attack and tells me I'm "going to get my daughter killed." Did not feel like the manager was all that understanding. Dramatically over active "rule enforcement" not conducive to dealing with children that aren't absolutely proficient at skating already. Would avoid. read more

10/10, loved it. Worker Tara was there and she is so nice. Give her a raise ASAP. All employees are amazing

My son went on a field trip with class to this place and he doesn't know how to skate so he was calmly watching his friends skate, he mentioned and employee that was a short white lady went and grabbed him AGGRESSIVELY and moved him and told him he couldn't be in the area with out giving him an explanation of why she touched him the way she did. If you're dealing with children, these employees better be thoughtful about the way they handle children in the facility & to not touch any children incorrectly because that can cause a REAL problem . read more

Wonderful place to skate for the kids. The bathroom is always so dirty and unkempt. Wish the entrance and eating area did not smell like a burning toaster oven all the time! There's many great skaters who definitely know how to skate. Many skate really fast in front of slower skaters and small children and sometimes scare the little ones. Staff only chastise slower skaters accidentally going the wrong direction but not the skaters going backwards almost colliding into people?! All in all, great affordable place. read more

Not a city, per se - but very full of skates. Thursday and Sunday have adult nights in Arvada. Very worth the admission fee!

I'm disappointed in this place. Terribly managed now. Rude clientele. Skate elsewhere to avoid literal poop.

No enforcement of masks. Adults and children alike not wearing masks. Besides staff, there was probably 3 other people wearing masks.

Wonderful business I had a blast and the staff were super friendly and helpful, would recommend for a date

I came in today with my 4 teens to do some skating, we had planned our whole day around it. The thing is we are IN LINE skate users. Which we have never had an issue with. Skate places we have been to in the past always have an abundance of selections in sizes. Today we were told they only had a pair of size 9 and 14. (Atleast Shaq would be able to skate) -_- Anyways, The young kid working the skate counter with no really care as to how he approached customers proceeded to give my brother the size 9 in lines and told him to check the breaks cause quote "they had been acting up". Long story short we left 20 minutes in to being at this place after trying to use the other skates. 60$ out. And just super bummed. As a skate establishment y'all should work on making sure you have all sizes in BOTH in line and regular skates. I wanted to talk with the front desk people but we couldn't find anyone in the place working that looked over 19. So yelp it is. read more

We just had my son's 8th birthday party here and it was awesome! The staff were very attentive. My husband and I didn't have to do a thing. They provided the plates, etc for the food and drink. And even cut up the cake we brought and cleaned up our table afterward. My son and his friends were happy and he left with a new pair of skates which are included. His words "Best day ever!" read more

Skate City - Skating Rinks Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

So far I not impressed...Ive tried to call for the last week at least a dozen times to reschedule a birthday party and no one ever answers the phone. Ive emailed and gotten no response and physically went to skate city and the doors were locked. I understand they are open during certain times but you'd think they'd manage their voicemail system and call people back during the times they re open read more

Terrible horrible service went to 64th and sheridan on 08/04/2022 for the first time. all personal there are horrible So here is a story time we got there and paid the cashier told us the skates were on the really back that we have to get them ourselves and then that's what we did, when we went up there and we got our skates when we were there there was a black man that approached us and told us we were stealing that we shouldn't get those by ourselves. I that point we felt so bad so we decided to leave the place and ask for a refund so we went to the front and ask for the refund they made us wait like 20 minutes and then there came a man he was a good person and try to help us but he said he was going to call his boss when the boss came he just told us there was a refund and just gave us the money without giving us an apology or something he said he had to cut our wristbands and that's what he did and we left the place. so I do not recommend going to this place they're racist read more

Grease those wheels and get your speed skates ready to burn up the rink. Reliving the times when we had Skate City night in Jr. High. Still the same atmosphere, just different music. Enjoy adult night here on Thursdays. Not overly crowded and free from trippy kids for the night. read more

I just put a Complain with the CDC arvada COVID-19 claim center no mask required even though we're on level orange 95% of the kids and adults were not wearing mask this place should be shut down for not operating under the CDC guidelines read more

A group of friends and I went for the adult skate with bar service. I was attracted to this place in the first place due to the advertisements I saw online. It looked like a fun, cool place to hang out with some friends. When we arrived, the process to get inside was thorough but quick. They used metal detector scanners and made you sign a waiver. There were a few choices of alcohol but I'm not a big drinker so I did not have any. My friends had some beers that they enjoyed though. The floor was smooth for skating, the music was popular and fun. There were less restrictions than normal since it was a 21+ party which was great. I had some nachos and they were good, like regular nachos. The customer service was fine. I also noticed that the entire place was very clean, even the bathroom. The only complaint is that I don't enjoy how far away the skates are at. I wish they were in a more central location near the arcade and concessions. Or there should at least be easily identifiable signs so people who have never been there can find it. read more

Skate City is like every single other suburban skating rink I've been to in 30 years. Meaning everything is good enough to serve the ultimate purpose for why you are there: to skate. Unless you have some unreasonable expectations, I can't fathom how you'd be disappointed (nor could I see how you'd be particularly impressed...) As with all other skating rinks, the whole place is run by teenagers who seem to have just enough of a handle on their responsibilities to keep the machine moving. There are bathrooms and they aren't fancy nor disgusting. There is a snack bar. It has snacks. I might harbor regret for my wallet though not fear for my life. You can choose to look like a flailing idiot in either inline skates or old school skates. They have helper things for little kids that are basically a walker device with wheels. I learned to skate before inline skates existed and several years later was grinding rails and riding ramps with my inlines, and there's one thing I just figured out when I was here: absolutely nobody looks elegant on roller skates of any kind. Period. I cannot speak to cost or value; came here for one of my kids' friends' birthday. They skated. I skated. It was fun. The end. read more

The staff was great and very friendly BUT...they do not care if people are wearing masks or not. Saw SOOO many people without masks, on the roller rink and off. read more

I have made a complaint against one of Skate City Arvada employees and I have asked the management to call me back. that was a week ago and I still have not heard anything from them. Employees name is Jacob he works the counter where you get your skate rentals from. this employee Jacob has a really short temper have seen him get off the skating rink yelling screaming and swearing multiple times Seen him go back to his work area slamming things around. I have witnessed Jacob grab a kid by the arm then proceeded to scream in the kids face and then dragged kid off the skating ring by his arm still screaming at him. all the kid did was fall down. That is unacceptable Behavior by employee. Jacob likes to have unappropriate relationships with customers. the customer in this case is my sister. He claims her as his girlfriend then he thinks he has control over her and the people she hangs out with including family. He didn't like me hanging around with my sister so he tried to intimidate me. The first time he tried. He skated so close behind me that i can feel him. I speed skating away. the second time he tryed I turn around and face him stood up for myself. He made me feel unsafe to the point to where I felt like I needed to defend myself. Then while me and my sister were eating he sit there at second entrance of the skating rink sat there and stared me down for 20 minutes straight. I've been going to the skating rink for years and I never felt unsafe until Jacob started working there. In my personal opinion Jacob needs to be let go/fired. No one should feel unsafe by an employee I've made a complaint against him before. I ask management to call me back and they have not i have not heard from the management or i have not seen any disciplinary action taken against him/jacob. read more

Ok! I held my sons 8th birthday party at Skate City last weekend. The party was epic! We paid $179.00 for 15 party kids plus skate rentals, we received a 30 day pass and skates for the birthday boy, 3 pizzas, 2 pitchers of soda, ice cream, 2 hours of skating time and the kids had so much fun. All of the party kids said they want their next birthday there. They also said it was THE BEST Birthday Ever! I am very, very happy my son and his friends had so much fun. We also go to bring in our piñata and family friends, for free. I would give the event center 5 starts, but the pizza was a little bland, and the announcer was slacking to announce cake and ice cream, plus it was a little crowded, but then again, it was Sunday. Highly recommended. read more

I would like to report that the manager of this place never wears a mask properly. We have gone many times and he always has his mask down on his chin or on his nose. It is not clean at all. read more

this place is pretty dope mane

Got one star only because I cant give no stars. Prepaid for a 15 kid birthday party($200) and only 6 kids were able to make it for various reasons. Was told that I had to pay $4 extra for inline skates, I spoke with the manager and was then told I had to only pay $1 for inline skates...for $200 you get one pair of inline skates for the birthday kid, 15 skate passes, kid sized drinks, and baby sized ice cream. Over half of their very small arcade selection actually works. Most have missing or broken buttons required to play the game. Some just take your quarters and guess what, no refunds. This place is exploiting children for massive profit margin markups and outright theft. I will never visit this place again. read more

WOW! I can't believe this place is still around! I'm not reviewing this as a recent visitor, but as a visitor from the past! I came here as a kid (11-12) in 1981 - 1982. They used to have a glowing city painted on the back wall and I thought it was the COOLEST PLACE! They also played the best music while you were skating back then! Even today, when I hear a song from that time period,I say, " That's a Skate City kind of song!" So while I can't review it for today's times, I can say THANK YOU for being a great part of childhood! I'm glad the place still exists for today's kids! read more
