What a gem! I haven't been roller skating in probably over 15 years, so when I had the opportunity to take my two year old twins I thought why the heck not!
This is a charming little rink. Walking in the door I was immediately brought back to the hundreds of hours I spent in roller rinks as a kid. It had that same old school charm without feeling outdated.
There are a lot of options for those that want to skate. Family friendly times on the weekends, times for adults and older kids and, what we went for, a toddler time.
The staff was extremely accommodating. My daughter was scared to even try skates on but they helped her and by the end of the session, she was really enjoying herself. For the preschool skate, they have several riding toys and other items kids can push around if they don't want to wear skates. They also have skates that slide on over their shoes. It is very affordable - all three of us can skate with rentals for under $10. Much more affordable then most other toddler friendly activities.
Aside from the slide on skates for the younger kids, there are old school skates and roller blades available to try as well.
The thing that made the experience stand out to us was how friendly the staff was. The owner was helping us with skates, helping kids when they fell and all around just being wonderful and welcoming to every patron there.
The rink is clean and well maintained while still having that great retro vibe. There is also a disco ball and some cool lighting effects.
There is a snack bar with a variety of affordable items and a few small games, but I can't comment on their quality since we didn't take advantage of them (this time).
We all had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back. read more
