I have never been on the ice before so I thought this could be a good opportunity to learn. However, when I arrived for the first day, they just told me to go on the rink and practice by myself for 30 minutes before the lesson. What am I suppose to practice???? A worker did try to help me for a little bit which I appreciate, but still I was just left on the ice alone afterwards. I can fall on ice outside for free, I didn't need to pay $160 for this. There's no refunds so love that for us. Imagine you sign up for piano lessons and you don't know how to read music or have any prior musical knowledge. And when you show up for class for the first time, they put you in an empty room with a piano and music sheet and tell you to practice. Like what tf are you practicing LMAO

I understand some of the songs we reccomended were a bit much, but it's unfair to ban artists, allow other people to play their songs and not ours, and just completly turning it off completly. You should have either turned rockbot off to begin with or allow EVERYONE the chance to play their music.

And with the lessons they also give you a couple free passes so you can come out and try out what you've learned. Awesome for rainy and cold days as well.

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.

It's very out of the way from College Hill. I decided to take Lyft to and from here, which was admittedly quite inconvenient. They did play good music!

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.

We came here with a group of our girl scouts for an event that was said to be a special one for them. There was only one thing that it made it special for them, face painting but nothing else that signified that it was a girl scout event. Nonetheless, the girls still had a lot of fun. What we like about this place is that they rent the training walkers for younger kids that aren't good on skates yet. They have a place to grab a quick bite and a drink, laser tag, a play climber, and an arcade. I was really surprised at the extra cost for the play climber - it is nothing fancy or super fun and should really be included in the entry price since it is right next to the skating floor.
