A Change has come to support the community of Knoxville through a brand new safe after school fun center. Thanks to the Change Center, now our youth and families with kids have a beautiful place to have fun and feel safe. I'm really excited about the positive change here on East Tennessee. The Change Center is a safe and affordable multi- fun center for the whole entire family. Special Thanks to Two amazing young ladies, Tonya and Artece for going out their way to show kindness to my son and I.

We attended our great grandsons skate party. Everyone had a great time. Brought back such wonderful…read morememories as I used to take my son skating there back in the late 70's and during the 80's! The owners have taken the rink to a new level. The skating floor is beautiful and the wall murals are well done. I love that they have a large skate team and so proud that they have won competitions. I would highly recommend taking your children to Roll Arena Party Zone and have a fun family time. And visit the snack bar. Good selection of food items and excellent prices. Kudos to the young people working the snack bar for being friendly and polite. All in all, a great fun family oriented place.

Pros: -big smooth floor…read more -reduced price if you bring your own skates -very clean -lots of parking -friendly staff -friendly crowd -mix of skill levels Cons: -terrible music- the teenage "DJs" play 2010 era rap the entire time, even on adult skate. If you're so lucky as to hear something else, they'll cut it off halfway thru to play Like A G6 or worse, a Christian country song with no beat. They have their own Christian music night- shouldn't that be enough? They did not play my request, Islands in the Stream. -weirdly low drop-ceilings make it feel claustrophobic -I wish there were practice lines in the middle of the floor for figure skating -I wish they offered a punch card/season pass for regulars

Absolutely distraught at how fast this once beloved childhood jewel is no longer going to be…read moregetting much of my family's business anymore. This has been a slow down-hill compiled mix of dissatisfaction over these few years that tonight has taken the cake. We are no longer allowed, as an adults in our OWN skates, to step outside ON their oning, NOT gravel, and then reenter, without removing your skates first. Let me repeat: im not talking about rental skates, YOU MUST TAKE OFF YOUR OWN SKATES. Mind you this place has NO SERVICE INSIDE. This has been the first time in ALL of my years, as an adult AND many years not, that I have EVER heard of this rule. Not to mention, I have a UMBILICAL HERNIA, and I came out tonight JUST TO SEE if I could still be okay to skate because I'm very much a dedicated skater. And to be met with even more difficulties than I have already, not wanting to explain to a TEENAGER just exactly WHY it might hurt to take these bad boys on and off just for a few seconds outside, JUST wanting to do the ONE THING that makes everything better for me? Rocks? ROCKS??? COMING INSIDE IS THE REASONING? Why??? cause they might have to sweep a little more? Trip hazards? In comparison of the inconveniences costumers face every time they visit here, they want to act like us stepping out for two seconds with OUR OWN BOUGHT AND PAID FOR skates, on is an issue? I took a video of their oning, and the ONE rock there? TOO BIG to get stuck in a skate. If there were rocks in your SKATE you couldn't ROLL, let alone skate far enough to drag the rocks inside . And to add a perfect PERSONAL example to the uselessness of this rule, MY KID spilled the nerds candy available at the concessions on the floor (don't worry we pick up our messes) and how did I find them? WITH MY SKATE. Multiply that by every kid in a busy night, I would BET MONEY those come up on the floor more often than I have EVER seen rocks Inside. A month ago(April 5th) for my sisters birthday party we RENTED out the rink, they didn't have this rule I am upset because physically it HURTS me now and takes so much time to do those motions repetitively for a simple two hour Skate window; removing the skates cuts into my already drastically limited skate time. AS DOES HAVING TO WAIT AROUND and then teach my daughter how to kindly ASK THE EMPLOYEES TO SERVE YOU BEYOND THE TICKET BOOTH. (Not that that's their fault if staffing is wonky, but come on now! Again, your customers Compromise For You, the business THEY CHOOSE to continue to support for YEARS. Maybe compromise for them and not threaten employees they will be fired if they don't enforce this petty and POINTLESS stuff...this has been the final straw. Being a customer since I was 9 years old( I am 28 years old now), this honestly breaks my heart for ALL of my fond memories here. I was (or tired to be) very nice to your young employees, I tried to offer understanding of the matter, asking understanding in return and blamed long finger nails instead if my health; but after this, we will not continue to pay outrageous prices for less windows of skate times, be UNDERSTANDING to your business and employees as customers in our wait times at concessions to be met with such ridiculous new rules that show you do not care to compromise for the ones that wanted to keep you here as long as you all have been. Evey visit has done nothing but give me more and more reasons this just isn't fun enough to want to pay this much and be treated like teenagers. This is fully a business-run issue, Not these poor teenage employees they have to push these new "stipulations" and have to deal with more disgruntled folks like me. I do hope these "little things" that break the customer's hopes in having that safe but still fun and enjoyable aspect, can find a medium being useful annd reasonable instead of just down-right petty. I hope they show us our opinions do actually matter to these owners so they can find better solutions to accommodate the people who kept them in business for so long before another part of all our childhood nostalgia is pushed to non-existence because business just "isn't the same."

I visited Ober Mountain in early January of this year and spent 2 days enjoyng activities…read more The first day consisted of participating in the fun pass, which gave us a list of activites we could do on the mountain like going to the zoo, ice skating, ice bumper cars, scenic lifts, etc. As an adult, the pass felt a little underwhelming but I can imagine a kid enjoying their time with this pass. I would recommend that you find a groupon/deal to get it at a cheaper rate rather than the usual $50/ticket they offer it for because I genuinely do not think it is worth the $50. I would definitely NOT recommend the fun pass for adults, but would for children (at the discounted price). Our second day on the mountain, we went snowboarding and that was a very fun time for my group and I. Ober has snow machines, so it is not real snow and instead is icy, artificial snow. I can imagine during the colder season, it may be softer and covered much more. I went in early January for reference. The employees are very nice with helping you strap in boots and understanding how to strap into board as well. I decided to do a lesson, which I would recommend for anyone who has not snowboarded before. Although I enjoyed my time, I do agree that it is fairly pricy, considering the size of the mountain compared to other resorts I have seen. I understand the weather determines which lifts are avaliable but the "snow" was ice, no where near snow texture. I think a day of snowboarding would cost roughly $150+ here for day pass and gear rental. My downsides for Ober are the price, the fun pass, and the snow.

One of the highlights was riding the Gatlinburg Aerial Tramway up and down the mountain--it was truly an experience in itself with amazing views. Once at the top, there was plenty to do. The kids loved the carousel and rode it multiple times every time we passed by. We also enjoyed the ice bumper cars, the wildlife habitat, and visiting Gatlinburg SkyLift Park. One of the most magical moments of the day was when it started snowing during our SkyLift ride--it was absolutely beautiful and something we won't forget. It was definitely very cold, but the scenery made it completely worth it. Unfortunately, the mountain coasters were closed due to the rain turning into snow, but there were still plenty of other activities to enjoy. The only thing I wish we had gotten to do was ice skating--the line and wait time were just too long before we had to leave. Overall, it was a very fun experience that everyone in our family enjoyed.
