My first time to the Hertz Arena was for the Phil Wickham's show. The arena was kept clean and…read moreeveryone was helpful. My only issue is with security at the door. I watched a woman allowed to bring a PURSE into the show that was way over the card they were carrying and holding up to bags. However my wallet was too long and I had to get out of line after waiting for 30 minutes to put it back in my car, and then return to an even longer line, almost getting stuck in a passing rain front. Maybe if I would have thrown a stank like the Karen in front of me with the purse, I could have gotten my way too. People should all be held to the same standard regardless of throwing a fit or not. How is a purse allowed but not a wallet that literally can only hold cards? I will definitely go back to a show here though but I will make sure to have a clear bag or smaller wallet to not upset the security guard that snapped at me for just saying it's a wallet.

First time here for anything, parking is $30, or $50 for preferred. If you have a handicap placard…read moreshow it to them & they'll get you closer. Easy in, about 10 minutes getting out. Everything is very accessible, food, drink, selling of concert items. The sound & videography was incredible, I was surprised as this just isn't a venue for concerts. I would highly recommend it. I brought a jacket but it wasn't needed & we were on the main floor where the ice would be if they were playing hockey.

Yes they play popular music from tik tok songs and there are mostly teenagers working here but that's what's to be expected for a skating rink. This location is smaller than the Astro skate in orlando but it was fine and we are glad to have the option!

The place is definitely showing it's age. The skate rink seems a bit run down and neglected.

The place might be salvageable but needs investment and new management. Also agree with the others on the music, mostly inappropriate music being played, not really fitting for the ages having birthday parties here.

It's an old facility, looks nice from the outside but the inside is a sad story. Wish they'd refurbish this place because it's popular and they have so much to offer the community. The north and south rink get really busy during open skate and classes. The cafe area gets crowded with parents who does not want to freeze on the bleachers. There's also a gym, dance and martial arts studio on the 2nd level. A pro shop and a roller derby rink. Rates are reasonable for 1 kid but 3x weekly lessons for 3 is pretty hefty. Staff are very friendly and are super to everyone that comes. Cafe has drinks and snacks that are reasonably priced

His private coach Mark was outstanding, the PlaySight system for drills was very engaging in the immediacy of feedback on every ball hit, and Nick Bolleteri had a visible presence and engagement with the teens.

It is not inexpensive, but when we consider how many hours of high quality instruction our son received, it is more than worth it.
