    Best Ice Skating rink in Houston, Texas.
    Andrew L.

    The Woodlands Ice Rink is by far the best ice skating rink in Houston, Texas. The staff is always friendly + professional and the ice is always kept in tip top shape. I used to go to an ice rink on the other side of Houston until my friends discovered this place. The owners are extremely friendly and are unbelievably passionate about the sport as well. I love that Alexandra really goes all out to make the kids have an amazing time for parties and weekends. I look forward to getting a chance to come by again soon.

    Lovely view from the cold benches outside the rink.

    Same train wreck year after year. Excessive prices, disorganized, no parking, and when an issue comes up, no attempt to correct it. This year's issues: No parking nearby AND all entrances to building off Lake Robbins are locked. Very confusing & time consuming to actually get in to the building. After you purchase the tickets online, you still have to stand in line again at the ticket counter to obtain a sticker to skate. Perhaps they can have a separate line or attendant for people who have already purchased tickets? Then another wait for skates. By the time we hit the rink after parking, nearly 30 mins passed by. They also now require you to pay for a reserved table if you want to sit inside the rink. I brought my daughter and her friend and reserved an inside table, so I could keep and eye on them and hold on to their belongings. The person at the ticket counter instructs me to look for a table with my name on it. So I spend another 10 mins looking for it with all the kids' stuff in my hands. Guess what? No table. So I go back to the ticket counter and inquire about it. Oops! Looks like for some reason, my payment on the table reservation went through. But they don't actually have any table availability for me. So they said they would refund me the cost of the table (will have to see if they actually do that). I asked what I was supposed to do, and I was instructed to sit on the benches outside the rink. I spent $50 for this fantastic experience. If the above is your idea of a great Sunday afternoon, by all means, go here. Next time my daughter begs to go ice skating here, I will really have to put my foot down and say no. A few years back (right before Covid hit), I saw an elderly woman fall and bleeding from her head on the ice. I said "we need to call 911, the woman has had a head injury and is on a blood thinner (I had asked her)." And the rink manager said, "No, we only call an ambulance if the injured person asks for one." Really? You are expecting a person bleeding from the head to take care of her own ambulance? I wish they would shut this rink down, TBH. It's awful. Update to original review: Just saw a woman sitting outside the rink in a wheelchair surrounded by EMS workers and an ambulance nearby. Further confirms safety issues with this rink.

    the woodlands ice rink has amazing customer service, with their large smiles on their faces at all times. the ice rink it's self is a perfect size and very family friendly highly recommended!!

    We recently had my daughter's birthday party at this location and I must say it was awesome! My daughter and her guests had a wonderful experience with the characters (Elsa, Anna, & Belle) and it made for a truly special experience. The facility was very clean and the decorations were very festive. All the staff were very attentive and friendly. If you're looking for a unique birthday experience I highly suggest this business.

    The over view of the ice rink. There are food and drink vendors including a bar! And tables to sit at or reserve.

    It's always great finding a skating rink in your pie. I wish it was open all year round rather than just during school holidays. It be great to see a open skate every night of the week. But also be sweet to have a hockey league.

    This place is AWESOME! BRKThrough is such a unique and fun experience. The website does a great job…read moreof explaining everything. I've only been here once and I would definitely come back! My husband and I booked the 2 hour experience. It seems like a lot of time, but once you play, it feels like it's not enough! The rooms truly are best played with 2-4 players. There are some rooms where 2 people is nearly impossible to get a perfect score, and there are some rooms where people would just be standing around if you have more than 4 players. Your team will have a team leader who will wear a specific wristband that opens the rooms and allows you to view your score on a big screen in the hallways. If your team doesn't care about rankings and want to just play for fun, then you can go at your own pace or split up if possible, depending on the size of your team. For example, if you have a total of 6 people playing, you could be one team with 1 team captain. For scoring, it would be best to stick together. Or you can split into two teams and have two team captains. That way, your team could split up into teams of 2 and 4 or 3 and 3 depending on the game/room. If you do care about rankings, then stick with your team and try to solve as many rooms as possible and get the perfect score. The rooms are so different! It's a lot of fun. There is definitely something for every one and many rooms to solve. Within the 2 hours, my husband and I were not able to go through all the rooms. Man, after we were done, we wanted to play more! It was exhilarating because you are trying to get through as many rooms as you can and trying to get the best score. It's like we were on a game show. haha Some rooms are addicting to where you want to just play it over and over again, but if you care about your ranking, just move on! lol The rooms have a time limit, which helps you pace yourself and prevent people from hogging a room the entire time. It gives off a "minute-it to win-it" vibe. Running around and trying to find an available room is also fun in itself. It's like a labyrinth in there. There were some technical issues with some rooms. For example, there was a soccer room where one of the goals would not score at all, so that messed with our points. There was another room involving a subway where I seriously think several answers were not on the posters provided. However, it was still fun! The employees were all super nice! One of the employees even helped us play in one room because it was one of those rooms where it would have been impossible to get a good score with only 2 people. I would say this isn't exactly a "one and done" type place. If you play with different people, it will be a different experience. Certain rooms you can definitely memorize and just plug in the answers. However, there are other rooms that are sports and arcade style, so replaying it would still be fun. Furthermore, you may not finish all the rooms the first time and by the next time you come back, they may have added additional rooms/games. Also, since they track rankings, you could try to get a better score the next time you come. The price is sort of expensive, but I think it's worth it. I mean, it's not something I would do every weekend, but I can definitely see us coming back a few more times for special occasions. They do serve food inside the venue. They have a really cool little glass box outside of each room to put your drinks inside. Also, they have free lockers to put in your purse and other valuables if you wish. There are also several cool photo opportunities. This place is just amazing. You have to just come and experience it yourself! This place is perfect for birthday parties, family outings, date night, or just to try something new. I highly recommend this place!

    Some of the rooms were lacking any intelligent explanation. Therefore, it was a waste of time. Just…read moreprovide one clue at least. They kept telling us our minds were not to think a certain way. It was insulting. I submit our group over thought each room due to a lack of clues.

    Comfy yes, but Convenient? No…read more The Woodlands Resort has so much potential of being a perfect staycation upon driving unto the grounds, but from check in, slowly but surely, you see the extravagant smoke and mirrors of inconvenience that envelops this place. Just checking in is a hassle. Although they advertise in their welcome paraphenanlia that carts are available to take you from the visitor lot to the hotel from 12 to 5, the carts were parked and no one around to drive them. Note- the lot in front of the hotel where you check in is not for overnight parking- you will be towed! After driving around the lot twice, I pulled up and asked the conceirge if I could drop my luggage off while I parked and walked to the hotel. He told me no problem although I was not asked to check it in and get like a ticket to validate my pickup once I parked my car. Luckily, no one else had dropped off their luggage and shifts hadn't changed to have an issue. Check in was a breeze with the typical show me your license and credit card in case of incidentals. Note- They put a $150 hold on your credit card. You're asked if you want 1 or 2 hotel keys which I should have said two because I accidently locked myself out my room night 2 as I had changed bags and picked up the key sleeve without the key in it! That also proved to be quite easy as I just proved my identity through my address and telephone nunber without an id. Although the people were quite nice here, what wasn't so nice was the 2 little bottles of water they give you and no whee to fill them. Sure, get the ice bucket and let the ice melt into water but if you frequently drink water, that will not be enough! You have a little bit of luck when you attend meetings or breakfast in the conference center across the way where they'll have water available. Other than that, those two water bottles per day are all you're going to get! Additionally,, I was extremely disappointed that I found my room the next day not attended to and without water and towels and I had been gone from the room from 9am to 3pm. I called down to front and shared the disatisfaction and in 10 minutes I was given 2 extra bottles besides the two for the day and plenty of towels for my stay (or maybe they didn't want me contacting them again). The scenery of the resort takes away some of the inconveniences of the hotel. If you had to stay here for a conference for several days, you wouldn't feel isolated or enclosed inside since you have to walk outside to get to the conference center, the gym, and breakfast. However, we did have individuals that were present for the event I was attending that had limited mobility. It would have been nice to at least accommodate those individuals. I even helped other attendees carry luggage to their car to the visitor lot because AGAIN no one was driving around carts to assist people in this regard and it was the first weekend that summer had started ,so you know it was hot!!!! Drinks at the bar are slow as molasses with one bartender. The first night I was there, the young lady behind the bar looked so overwhelmed... I didn't even want to order, but someone else was paying for my drink and insisted, so I ordered a lemon drop. I did ask if she knew how to make it and she said yes. It wasn't the worse but not the best. Others in my party stated the same. I did enjoy the gym that had just enough cardio, weight machines, and other aerebic equipment to get a good sweat. Towels and water are in the room along with disinfecting wipes. Breakfast is plentiful with lots of choices. I do love a good omelet and fresh juice bar! You can request a cup of coffee to go too! Certainly if I came here again I would be prepared to have my own water and my walking shoes ready. Pretty location but an hour drive for me using the toll. It's a toss up if I would come back if the organization that organized the conference I attended chose this location for a conference next year.
