Got new roller skates for Christmas and was beyond pumped to try them out. So, I finally convinced…read morea friend to join me for Retro Night at Skate City on Tuesday, 8 to 11 PM, where they spin all the best 70s, 80s, and 90s jams. The cost? $11. I laced up those beauties and skated like a pro--no falls, no wobbles, just pure smooth moves...for a solid two hours. Then I took a break to chat by the wall, and wouldn't you know it, that's when gravity reminded me who's boss. Down I went, wrist first. Yep, broken wrist and surgery two days later. But honestly? Totally worth it. The music was blasting, the vibes were immaculate, and for a couple of hours, I was living my best retro dream. Once this wrist heals and I get myself a brace, you better believe I'll be back rolling and rocking those skates. Skate City's Retro Night = a blast. Just maybe bring some wrist guards... or maybe just don't stop to chat!

I gave Baxter Arena a five star rating because one my dad has been a season ticket holder for about…read morethe whole time the stadium has been created lol. But I also like it because the stadium is clean. If you have kids, it's a great idea to bring them here because you were able to give players high-fives when they're coming back in to the locker room or at locker room. After the game if they win, they have a fight song. Great way to get players to sign pucks. I've honestly been coming here for like my entire life. They've usually head home games every Friday and Saturday. On some occasions they have a Friday Sunday series which means instead of the games starting at 7:07pm they start at like 6:07. During intermission and they have a Chick-fil-A parachute drop. You always get a free Chick-fil-A tag Which usually comes with the other free chicken sandwich or eight piece nugget. For the second coupon both times I've done it. I've got an a godfathers, three dollars off a large pizza, and a buy one get one free PepperJax coupon. The stadium is really clean. They have three main concession stands, and they have some small other concession stands such as cold stone, Dippin dots and nacho stand a Durango's time out which has hot dogs, popcorn, candy, and drinks. Durango is the mascot he's always interacting with people. Go, Mavs! Bonus Baxter Arena also hosts volleyball and basketball. This is College hockey. But the arena is off-campus nearby the arena just like a five minute walk are some lacrosse fields. And also a baseball stadium . There are three parking lots. And needs Area right next to the stadium or you get a place to eat. My favorite one would be Gandolfo's. The concession stands are owned and operated by Savor. They also have a Lawlors stores where you can buy official game pucks, jerseys, replica jerseys, mini hockey sticks

We had a blast at the UNO Hockey game the other night, even though Minnesota won. I've been here…read moreonce before for a graduation, but this was the first time for a hockey game! Plenty of ways to get in and it was nice a quick. We took some time to walk around and check everything out from different spots and there were very few locations that wouldn't be good to sit at! It was nice that they had a lot of local vendors and options instead of just name brand big brands for food and drinks too!

2 Stars - Great facility and knowledgeable staff, but stick-and-puck experience is frustrating…read more Grover Ice is a really nice rink in many ways. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, which is a huge plus, especially if you're involved in hockey regularly. The facility itself is well designed, and the seating setup is much better than some other local rinks. You can go upstairs and watch the ice from above, which is actually very comfortable and makes it easy to follow what's happening without freezing like you sometimes do at other rinks. They also have food available and even serve alcohol, which adds to the overall experience for parents or spectators. The locker rooms are in much better condition than other local rinks as well. Unfortunately, the biggest issue is their stick-and-puck sessions. They allow coaches to come in and run drills with kids, which essentially takes up half the ice. On top of that, teams sometimes show up and start practicing, which ends up taking over another portion of the rink. They will place an extra net in the middle, but realistically it becomes very difficult to find space to just skate and work on your own skills. Considering what you pay for ice time, it's frustrating when the session turns into a partial team practice instead of open ice. Even more disappointing is that when this concern has been brought up, it doesn't seem like management is particularly interested in addressing it. Grover Ice has a lot going for it as a facility, but the way stick-and-puck is managed makes it hard to justify going if you're hoping for a fair chance to actually skate and practice.

I also love that they have indoor seats, instead of having seats close to the ice. Overall, my favorite rink because of the seating and food/drinks!!

4 Stars - Great facility, but scheduling and supervision need improvement…read moreThe Moylan Iceplex is a really nice facility overall. Having two rinks makes it easy for them to host a wide variety of activities, and there's almost always something going on. Between public skating, club hockey, adult ("old man") leagues, stick-and-puck sessions, and other events, it's a very active place for the hockey community. The staff have always been friendly in my experience, which makes a big difference. The facility itself is well set up, with places to eat and even a small arcade area, which is great if you're bringing kids or family members who aren't skating. Prices for skating sessions and activities are also pretty reasonable compared to many rinks. My main frustration is the scheduling. The posted schedules sometimes change without notice, which can be really frustrating when you drive there expecting ice time and find out it was changed or canceled. The other concern is supervision. During public skating especially, there often appears to be little or no monitoring on the ice. With a lot of kids skating at once, things can get chaotic and occasionally dangerous. Overall it's a great facility with a lot going for it, but better schedule management and more active supervision would make a big difference.

I saw people complaining about the smell but I mean hockey games are played here and their stuff stored in lockers so I figured that was going to be the case. It's not really even that bad. The concession stand has so much to offer for reasonable prices as well. Definitely a cool family trip!

When I asked who was in charge of…read moreslowing the speed skaters, monitoring kids that were undoubtedly there to warm up before they changed for their hockey game next door - I was told no guard on duty. Many, many young kids were unable to skate because the "walkers" or blue plastic supports designed to aid beginners were being used as toys by older youth who clearly didn't need them. As soon as the Zamboni was able to clear the ice, older youth shaved the ice and dirtied it for no reason. But with no guard - who would stop them. It was a freaking free for all - and I paid to be a part of it. that's crap. I wish I'd asked for my money back.

The seats are uncomfortable unless you bring something else to sit on. I also like that you can sit inside so you're not freezing, that's another plus. The seats inside are only in one corner though so being able to see the game the whole time can be hard, keep that in mind. They don't sell any alcohol which isn't the end of the world but would make it better if they did. The people who work there are nice and keep it reasonably clean.

It was not overly crowded so a good place to take kids just learning or older folks trying to remember how to skate!
