We have been coming to Center Ice since October 2024, and we enrolled our son in the Learn to Skate…read moreprogram when he was just 4 years old. Now, in May 2026, he has graduated from the program and moved on to Hockey 101 at age 5. We truly have nothing bad to say about the program or the coaches. They have always treated our son with love, patience, and respect. Even though there are many children in each session, the coaches consistently make an effort to provide one-on-one feedback to every child, regardless of skill level. They are kind, encouraging, and genuinely seem to love what they do. We are incredibly proud of how far our son has come, and so are his coaches. The program director, Vinny, has been especially wonderful. He is professional, caring, and so sweet with all the kids. What really stood out to us is that he remembered our son by name and even recalled when he first started the program. He was just as excited as we were when our son moved up to Hockey 101, which meant a lot to us as parents. The facilities are always clean, the rinks are very well maintained, and the overall environment feels welcoming and organized. The food is pretty good, and the snack bar is perfect for grabbing a quick bite or drink, although I do feel some items are a bit overpriced. The hockey shop has also been an amazing resource for us. The staff there are truly a delight. They are patient with our son, even when he gets easily distracted, and they never try to upsell unnecessary equipment. Instead, they work within your budget and genuinely try to help you find the best option possible. You can also tell they truly enjoy interacting with the kids. Since we were completely new to hockey when we started, they took the time to teach us how to lace skates properly, make sure equipment fit correctly, and they even taped our son's stick for us. Over time, we've started to feel a real sense of community at the rink, and a lot of that comes from the positive environment created by the skating program and staff. We have also enrolled our son in private one-on-one lessons, and Coach Ava has been a fantastic fit for him. She is kind, fun, professional, and wonderful with children. Overall, we are incredibly grateful for the positive experience our family has had at Center Ice. Watching our son grow in confidence and skill here has been really special for us. You can see the progression in the pics! lol

Great facility!

Yummy restaurant ( get the wings) and lots of viewing throughout to see the various rinks. Clean bathrooms, clean and well maintained general areas. Snack bar but I've honestly never purchased anything there. Reasonable prices too.

We went here recently for a Child's Birthday Party and had an excellent experience!…read more For starters, I was really impressed with the quality of the skating floor. We've been to some rinks around here and the floor is really greasy/oily. If you know, you know that really makes it hard to fully maintain full control when turning and cutting. We also really appreciated that they had a little corner of the floor tucked away for the little skaters. Our little one loved it over there as an escape from the crowd and more experienced skaters. Also, in the larger sizes they had some really nice roller hockey style inline skates. I don't think there are enough of those to cover all sizes, but if you are lucky enough to get a pair, they definitely looked legit. We'll definitely be back to this location again. The DJ also played a good mix of old school vs new school music.

Many people may have the similar new year resolution to exercise. I decide to add a suggestion to…read morethe gym that I am normally go to at this review. Not many people know about this gym that is part of the Hillsborough County Park and Recreation department. We have use this gym for our badminton club free play night for almost a year. This facilities have soccer field at the back of the building. Many activities took place at this location include children soccer team. The media room have computer for the after school care. They also have the theater performance art class. They have high impact aerobic class and low impact exercise class. The gym floor is two basketball courts two volley ball courts or four badminton courts. Our badminton club play two night a week. This building is actually our tax money to build it. The gym floor is spring board with wood flooring. They are very nice. Please check out the available classes that are ongoing now by calling the center or walk up to the main lobby for the available exercise class. Make good use of this new facilities.

Awesome playground and covered benches…read more I came here for a Mom's club playdate. It was a snack potluck and hang out. I snagged the last parking spot (as others have mentioned the parking lot is small, but you can park at the school if you can't find a spot.) I only walked through the actual rec building to get to the park. I was amazed by the outside area. The benches are covered and there are a ton of cubby holes where you can store your stuff. The playground is covered too! We're in Florida, shade matters! There is also a huge grassy area in case you want to throw a ball or just let your child run around and blow off steam. Whatever floats your boat. Once my child starts walking I'm sure we will be back many times.

They have learn to skate programs and you can bring your kids out to try out hockey for free- they supply all of the equipment. How awesome is it that you can have your kids try it before investing ?! My niece plays roller hockey there and it has transformed her from a shy girl to outgoing and confident. It's more than fun- it's a positive character building program you don't want to let your kids pass up.

First and foremost I can't say enough how great our ref Sage was! We had SO MUCH FUN and I have to…read moreadmit we had a rambunctious group of teens/preteens that she handled like a boss. Those boys (and my husband, sister and I) had the best time. Other refs kept swiping our fields after she would call them but we let her know we didn't mind and she just kept asking our son (bday kid) what his preference was. My favorite was the field with the barrels. Everyone loved the woodsy areas (I did too) but there was just something so creepy and fun about the barrel field where everyone was easily obscured. I hope that if we come again sometime soon we see Sage again, she was just awesome. Now for the tips, don't do what we did and let your kid send out the invite to his buds without keeping track of who and whether they signed the waiver. Check in is a little tough, but I think if we had been better about this it would have been less frustrating. Also, the people working the air and gun station (especially during gun return) did a wonderful job helping us wrangle all the guns and masks, which the boys had everywhere (another area where we struggled). All in all, definitely next level as far as birthdays go. Every single kid playing was grinning ear to ear and did a great job following the rules (another area where it was so great having Sage with us).

The views and the architecture in Cuscaden Park are second to none. They reek of old Tampa and Ybor history. And the fact that this pool is smack dab in the middle of the urban core is nothing short of awesome! Now the downside... while there's a lot to love about Cuscaden Pool, if you're planning a pool day/picnic, think again. You cannot bring any food or beverages into the pool area: not behind the fence where the seats are, not anywhere. IMO, this puts a bit of a damper on what otherwise is a fantastic pool park in Tampa's urban core.
