    First time here, I've also never skated before. Parking is a bit tight. Had a blast, learned how to skate in a few hours. Looking into purchasing my own skates. I'll definitely be back.

    Such a fun place to spend any day, night, or occasion here. Came here a couple of times before and parking is always a nightmare. There used to be a parking lot behind the venue but it was roped off last time I went. The parking in the plaza is limited as well as street parking. You can park in the adjacent lot that's for the grocery store but it's subject to being towed. There's a waiver you need to sign before you can pay and skate. It basically says if you get harmed it's not their fault. The waiver is valid for a year. The skates runs a bit smaller than your shoe size. I'm a 11.5 in Nikes and went with a 10. There are no half sizes. 10 was snugged but it makes me feel like I have better control than the 11. There are a few places to sit and out on your skates. Next to the registration desk there are a few arcade style games and there's the food court. Prices are okay and has a lot of candy and pretzels and pizza. Think bowling alley type food. There's also a store in case you want to buy your own skates or gear etc The rink is wood floor. It's an oval shape. Way less than the size of a football field. If you're an okay skater, you can probably do a lap in about 90 seconds to 2 minutes. It goes counterclockwise. The outter area of the rink is for the less skilled and the inner circle is for faster, skilled, and people who generally like to do tricks but it's not mutually exclusive. Music is the best part. They always have bangers on. I went on a Saturday night and it was mostly rnb and pop. The other time I went on a Friday night and it was adults only. It was more of a mixture of rap, rnb, pop, and some punk. Interaction with staff is limited but they are chill and cool. There are bathrooms in the side of the building past the food court. Men's are on the right. Women on the left. There are no gender neutral ones. As the music plays there are strobing light and it's low lit.

    If I could rate this place based on service, I would give it a one star. The workers are rude, not helpful and don't make you feel welcomed. The only reason why I'm giving this place four is because one. The location is closer to my home to. It's super fun place to be at with family of friends! So you make it fun! Also, there is absolutely no AC, so be prepared to sweat!

    LEGENDARY! Love this place! Come skate and support skate world! Not many places left in SD to skate! Cheap fun entertainment.

    Fun 12-5pm summer family kids skate

    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon for a birthday party. It was busy, but not too crowded. There were still plenty of tables and space. The place doesn't seem very modern, unless 90s is the theme they're going for. As a geriatric millennial, it was nostalgic for me considering I haven't been to a skate rink in forever. Anyways.. the skates for rent seemed to be in decent condition. They had plenty of those walker things for new skaters, but all short ones.. I think it'd be cool if they had some adult size ones too. There's a few arcade games for alternative entertainment, but not many. Also a small snack stand available. Staff was nice and the place was clean. It was warmer weather, and the had huge fans blowing for a bit more circulation.

    The fam bam!

    Ask the Community - Skateworld

    Do they have blades?

    Yes they have roller blades

    Does this place have air conditioning?

    No, it does not

    Do they serve beer at the snack bar?

    No alcohol here

    Do they have gf or vegan-friendly food options?

    Are they open on Labor Day (Sept. 2)? They don't ever pick the phone and their website doesn't say anything.

    What about two grown ups? No kids just wanna have fun, is it worth it?

    Yes, Definitely! Go...

    Mydaughter wants to have her 12th birthday party here, are there good package deals? we are looking at maybe 7-10 kids/

    They have party packages on their website. I think their packages are much cheaper than at other party venues. It was perfect for my daughter's bday party last year. Their cheapest package is for up to 10 skaters.

    Skate World is a San Diego institution and I'm so glad to have this close enough to access.
