This place is a blast from the past. Expect things as they used to be. You can still watch one of the regulars disco skating. Super fun! Kevin, the original owner for 50 years, is a man who knows all about skating and loves teaching people how to skate. He knows hundreds of the past and current skaters by name and treats everyone like your favorite ornery grandpa would. Love it!! read more

We had an absolute BLAST going here, Staff were really friendly and the owner was really sweet! The music was really great for pacing myself 10/10 Would recommend! read more

Terrible experience at Skate Ranch. We waited about 10 minutes just to get skates with no help at all. When we finally spoke up, the older employee gave us attitude instead of helping. All we did was politely say we'd been waiting, and instead of apologizing, he made us wait even longer. Completely unprofessional. What made it worse was as we were walking away, he insulted my little brother and called him a "dumbass." That's completely unacceptable, especially toward a kid. On top of that, the bathroom was disgusting--no soap, no running water, and it was completely trashed. Customer service and cleanliness here are terrible. I won't be coming back. read more

Keep it Old Skool! Great rink, nice staff and good selection at snack bar. Plenty of seating around the rink as well as in snack bar area. I went on Adult night and the music selection was fantastic. My only concern was the lighting. Was far too dark inside for me, especially towards the back of the rink. read more

Came here with my friends and family on a Friday night and really enjoyed myself. The food and drinks were good. They upgraded with security and employees. The customer service was awesome. read more

We had a great birthday party!! So easy to plan and book. Micah was our host and he was awesome!!

Been my favorite place to skate since I was a kid! Now my daughter is living it. Thanks yall

The owner or manager is rude and ugly. Uses profanity. Do not recommend. My daughter was using the wall to hang onto. He told her to get the fuck off the wall. She also got ran over and knocked down. He came by and asked if her brains were falling out. She told him no so he said you're fine then. read more

What a fun night! The prices here are reasonable! $8 for an adult, $1 slice pizza, drinks are not expensive either! The staff were all nice, and helpful. One even carried the pizza to our table and brought us plates and napkins...we didn't catch the name but he was super buff. The skates were in good condition, too! Be warned it gets hot fast skating, so don't forget your sweat bands and short sleeves! read more

I have good memories of skating as a kid. But the music played is one step short of pornographic. I know you play whats popular, but really? Is this what you would want your kids to listen to? Iggy Azalea - Fancy "feels so good, getting what I want...Chandelier swinging I don't give a F***" Jason Derulo - Wiggle "I want to penetrate you, separate you, take it out and feed it to you" Mad Cobra - Flex " Crying, moaning, work you till the morning, Spread your feet," I'm a freedom loving adult, so I'll vote with my money and not come back. If this is what you expose your kids to then feel free. read more

One of my favorite places in Lubbock. Iconic place in Lubbock. Owners are great people. Skate hard my friends

This is an old roller skating ring from god know when, my guess is the 70's but probably even before that. It's not modern and it's not fancy. The rink floor is waxed cement and if you fall it will hurt, a lot. The old gentleman who runs the place has probably been there since it's inception. I'm betting this place is a Lubbock institution. Worth checking out for sure! read more

Skate Ranch - Skate ranch 1974 flashbacks - Skating Rinks Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Love SkateRanch. I've been coming since I was a kid. The Bakers have a great thing going. Come visit this Lubbock landmark.

This is usually our favorite place. Decided to come at night during Spring Break. They've been closed for two hours. Tables are dirty. Trash cans full. I've seen it cleaner. read more

The hours and prices are different than it says online. 2:00-4:30 during the Friday we came at $6 a skater w/skate rental. But there's plenty of space and a really nice old gentleman running the place. Retro-fun! read more

Awesome place to come skate and relive some childhood memories. Our biggest issue was finding it since we were from out of town and were depending on the Yelp directions. It's the wrong address. The actual address is 4701 W Loop 289, Lubbock, TX read more

I find it funny that the owner of the skate ranch is unconcerned about the safety or the well being of any child visiting. On Friday 3/25/11, my daughter got jumped and beat up outside the building. It is very sad that the owner doesnt take any steps to make sure kids are safe at all times. read more

My kids go there and skate all the time and are on the hockey team i think the owner is a WONDERFUL man and all he is concerned about is the kids. He does all this out of the kindness of his heart you dont find many people or places like this anymore. read more
