Springfield Skateland - action shot for roller derby

Springfield Skateland

(15 reviews)

Absolutely ABYSMAL. I have never seen such an arrogantly incompetent ownership/management team IN…read moreMY LIFE. You pay full price to get into a two hour window of skating, they don't tell you when you pay if you are 5 minutes into that window or an hour and forty five minutes into that window. You would think they would say, "oh, you know you only have 20 minutes left to skate, right?" Nope. They'll take your money and blame you for the confusion. Then when you finally get out to skate, they clear the floor every couple of songs in order to play some stupid game that almost nobody wants to play. THEN they kick all the kids off the floor so that only adults can skate the last song that THEN opens the floor up for the next hour to ONLY adults. I swear, I have land, money, time and now desire to open up a skate park that is actually nice and doesn't have owners that are trying to fund their retirement and their grandkids retirement off the backs of their skaters, which really wouldn't be THAT bad if they offered a beautiful place to skate. I've only had this fire lit under me two other times in this life but I've accomplished my goals both of the other times and this time I am going to start tomorrow on working on this. I want this place out of business or completely reformed by the end of summer. They have become complacent by being the only place here in Springfield. I am going to change that. This place reset their hours during Covid, they crapped over their customers because they can. I aim to change that. I am SHOCKED at the ineptitude being practiced at this place. And the arrogance of the owner blew my mind. I have no words. I'm speechless. I am actually pissed to the point of doing something. Skateland, count your remaining days.

I've only ever been here during Adult Skate Night, which happens once a month. It's late night, a…read moregreat deal, and I don't have to worry about running into or falling over on a small child. I also have started bringing my own skates. However, if you don't have your own, roller skates are included in your entry fee, but roller blades are an extra cost. They recently redid the rink during COVID, so the wood floors are nice and smooth now! They have arcade games, a mini cafe with snacks and concession foods. There are also lockers that you can rent for a quarter to put your shoes and keys in while you skate. It is definitely a mom and pop kinda feel, family owned and run. Pre COVID, there was one adult skate night where they handed out cupcakes for the owners birthday. Another time we showed up to skate for the last half hour and the lady at the front counter gave us a discount since there was only a little time left to skate. I don't ever expect this to happen again, but it was a kind gesture that you really only get with locally owned places. My one complaint is that they play the same 90s rap music during Adult Skate Night. I wish they would mix it up. However, I'm so glad there is a skate rink still open and operating in Springfield.

Came ice skating with a few fiends, we where just having fun and a hour of ridding he didn't say…read moreanything no warning, then kicked us out an hour after not staying anything to stop what we where doing wrong, obviously he's not getting any , could've been a good guy and said hey cut that out or gave us a warning, hopefully he can get trained properly. Or better yet get fired for his lack of knowledge and being very unprofessional during his work hours, hope he felt good using his power of being a staff.

If you want to play hockey, there are both adult and youth leagues for all ages and abilities. The youth program is the only Olympic Development Program for hockey in the country. Ice Skating - There are classes and private lessons for ice skating for all ages as well. You can watch competitions and exhibitions at various times throughout the year. They also have open skate times almost every day - rental skates are available. The Ice park also has several spaces that you can rent for parties. If you don't like to skate, you can do a broom ball party on the ice. I haven't played, but it looks like fun. As a gal who grew up in the midwest with no access to ice sports, I love that my kids can learn these sports in such a nice facility.

Really nice workers, one showed my kids how to skate!!…read more Snack bar lady was kind to a boy that lost his money. Guards try to keep everyone safe and the guy at the skate counter helped me fix my old skates.. The once a month Dollar Skate makes it easy to bring the family. ALL in all we will be coming back!

Clean the place up! It looks so nasty and dirty!! In fact it was pretty smelly and dusty in areas!…read moreHaving a better variety from the snack bar is needed. The ladies at the front counter are very rude. And when spoken to they reply with a roll of the eyes or a head shake. If you own a business, you need to have a happy face at the front. You're the first person they see and the last person you see you should be welcoming,?warm and friendly. After all, they are spending money in your establishment! The clientele is clearly not expected to behave in a family environment. There's a lot of cussing and screaming from adolescent teenagers that dress like animals. All businesses have the right to refuse service so I wish they would learn to refuse service that isn't good for business! Music selection is poor. Bathrooms were dirty, and there was a girl in the bathroom vaping. There was a stabbing between two young teenage boys. Clearly not a safe place to be. Apparently from what I understand also birthday parties are not really well thought out. They've booked too many parties at one time in the evening so there's no other place for families to sit if they're not there for the party. You have to pay $2dollars per small drink per guest, which is clearly expensive. Most kids that are skating will not drink just one drink and of course they don't keep up with their drinks either. A package with free refills would be nice or something that you are spending $100 on drinks. It's NOT an adult bar! Just a poorly owned establishment that could have so much potential with a real business person running a true family friendly place. Oh and get better music too!

Don't let the small size fool you, this place is a lot of fun and doesn't feel too crowded when…read moreeveryone is moving around. The staff members are super nice and helpful and they have fun games for the skaters and music and lights. There's also a small amount of arcade games and air hockey upstairs and places the sit and hang out. We had a lot of fun here and the prices are reasonable too. The only thing I wish it had was a bar all the way around for less experienced skaters but there are a few places where skaters are able to hold on to things. I'd definitely suggest this place as a good hang out for families in the area.

This is a really fun place with a great staff! They're all helpful and friendly; and the guys who…read morerun the floor and do the games are very entertaining! If you're just learning to skate, they have these little rails on wheels that you can rent, which are sure to save bottoms from bruises. Whatever your age, if you're just learning, you can feel comfortable here. Everyone is very supportive. And if you're an old pro of a skater who hasn't been on the floor in awhile, it's time to come on back and get good again. A great place to have fun and get exercise without being out in the cold in winter, or the heat in summer. Think back on all the great memories you had growing up going to skate rinks with family and friends. Relive those memories and make new ones! This is one tradition that is still packed with fun!
