As I teenager it is very fun place to come and hangout with your friends and skate the workers are…read morevery nice and funny

I remember in both elementary and middle school my friends and I used to go here. The staff was…read morealways pretty rough here and disrespectful to absolutely everyone. It was to a point where my mom would not leave me and my friends alone here she would stay to make sure that we weren't being disrespected by staff members. You can even see on the Google reviews they were always yelling at children and talking down to people degrading them. My real problem comes in with the owner or previous owner Daniel. What happened 5 years ago when I was 12. I would go as far as saying, I was harassed by him, and he started to hate campaign against me to his staff. so what happened was he had this area section off, and it was only being restricted by a chain that was attached two column walls. One of my friends had tripped over this, and that caused part of the wall to fall off with the chain. It was a very clean break and a very small chunk of wall. It probably only would've took some basic home repair glue or whatever to fix it. The owner started yelling at everyone who was crowding the area seeing what happened. I don't even think he asked my friend if she was OK. This resulted in us being very embarrassed and upset, and especially me because I knew that my mother and my parents had been giving this place a lot of money at that point. We had bought several pairs of rollerskates off of them and rollerskate bags. We had come basically every Friday. Bringing in money every Friday. So even 12-year-old was like if this is how you're gonna treat a paying customer I'm gonna leave a bad review. Of course, my bad review when I was 12 was probably not very helpful and it was probably exaggerated. The day after I made the review, I did end up deleting it because I felt bad and my friends had also made bad reviews, but none of them faced the hatred that I faced when I came back to the skating rink. when I came back, Daniel the owner yelled. What are you doing here? I was like I deleted the review and I just want to skate like normal. With the skates that I bought off YOU. And bag I bought off YOU DANIEL! he should appreciate that we were such loyal customers, I understand 12-year-old me might've made a mistake and he's allowed to allow whoever he does or doesn't want in his establishment. My mother was with me and tried to talk to him, he would not allow me to even step foot in the skating rink, but he let my mom go into a private room with him where she told me that he just yelled at her so she left. I believe he took her in the privacy to yell at her because he knew that he would be stopped if he did it in public. When a review is deleted, you have nothing to be mad about anymore. It's gone. And your customers are back so why are you mad? this is not good business. I am only 5 feet and 100 pounds, and I was probably even smaller when I was 12 because I'm 18 years old now and I know I'm right for this bad review. I cannot be guilt tripped into deleting it ever again. my size is relevant to the rest of the story because he had this big guy when I tried to enter the room, I think I was just trying to go with my mom. But he had this big guy, literally go chest to chest with a child. This man was pointing me out and not even saying anything to me, but "out". Daniel, you put 12 year-old me in danger by separating me from my mother I could have been kidnapped and you know the type of people besides kids that come to skating rinks. they don't have stellar records let's just say that. to me it just sounds like Daniel was a big coward because I know he wouldn't have yelled at my mom or me if my father was there. My father wouldn't have allowed it and he wouldn't have done it with another man in his presence. Who was not below him. His staff is below him so they have to listen. Daniel is lucky that we stopped my father from going over there. I would call this harassment and a hate campaign, I would say it's harassment because he brought my mother into a private room to yell at her. That is in intimidation and very threatening to my mother. He intimidated me with that large man, even though he never needed a large man to do that he just could've told me stay out of there. To me the fact that he turned his staff against me too, was a hate campaign because I was friends with those people. And all of his staff just seemed like they had turned against me. Keep in mind the review had been deleted. I had apologized and his customers had all come back, so there was really nothing to be like this about. He knew we were loyal customers.

This is the most chaotic ice skating place I've ever been to in my life! Like some of the other…read morereviewers mention, there's absolutely no enforcement of any rules during public skating hours (rules are posted on the wall with explanation there is no one on guard). This means that there are people skating in OPPOSITE direction and also cutting straight across from one end to another instead of going in circles. Though I did enjoy the two hours I spent skating, I had to be on guard at all times for my safety. I'm not sure if there's another indoor ice skating place in Greensboro where you can feel safe, but Orange County Sportsplex in Hillsborough is less than an hour away from Greensboro and is much safer and nicer.

I recently moved from San Diego, Ca. and my daughter has been skating since she was 4. This is my…read moreexperience and to be honest I am a little unsure how this rink is still open. I'm giving it 1 star because the people who work there are absolutely wonderful! It is the actual rink that is the problem. My daughter has been telling me how bad the ice is but until I went and saw it myself, I was so sad to see the conditions of the ice. I saw the rental skates in such bad condition with the leather falling off and its just so sad. Often they don't even have the Zamboni midway during open skate time. They have an area for a snack bar but its not open. Bring your own drinks and food as they have 1 snack machine which is filthy. They don't even have a proper Pro Shop for both figure and hockey skaters. Its only for hockey, which is rather interesting because figure skaters produce more income. The ice needs to have a full ice removal and start over. The ice is disconnecting from the wall and is concaving. The insulation on the ceiling is not keeping the rink cool enough as there are holes in the ceiling that I am positive are from hockey pucks going through the insulation. I witnessed many falls especielly to the little ones. To the parent's who put helmets on their children, I commend you. I see such potential for birthday parties and interactions on the ice, but it's very clear that this is a rink for just the bare minimum and that's it. It's very sad to see, especially coming from a beach city and realizing that all 3 rinks that are in San Diego are incredible, then moving here only to see 1 rink thats falling apart and no other one to go to except Charlotte. From one business owner to another, it appears as though the owner doesn't care about the rink as if its just an investment not as a business. I see so much potential that his owner could do, but instead of realizing the full potential, the owner is clearly letting it go. I'm sure that he or she feels that if something happens seriously to someone, the rink has insurance. To me seeing how bad of a state this is in, I am shocked it is still open.
