Hmmm. Do I write a review about the actual Ice Gardens Arena or the circus we attended which was…read morethe reason we were here? I think I have to include some experiences from both. So one day I come into work and in the lunch room are a stack of tickets admitting one child for free per paying adult to the Garden Brothers Circus. I have two step kids age 8, and 6 and immediately thought they might enjoy this. After talking it over with my husband he went online and purchased two adult tickets (9.95 + a fee, total about $25.00) that we used with the free tickets. This arena was quite a drive, roughly an hour and all highway driving. When we got there I was very unhappy to see they were charging $5.00 to park. I wasn't all that surprised but I think they should tell you that in advance (online when ordering your tickets maybe??). Being a couple of people who rarely carry cash this speed bump made us journey further down the road for an ATM. Once parked and inside you pass by a plethora of carny type food and toys, with many circus folks barking out what they are selling. All incredibly overpriced garbage both food and novelties alike. And they don't just stay in one area. All throughout the performances the vendors walked the crowd shouting out "popcorn, lemonade, laser guns, spinning tops!" Incredibly annoying. A lady two rows in front of me bought her kids some slushies for $12.00 a piece! There better be some booze in that because that's just cray cray! Once you get past all the junk food and novelties it really hits you. The barnyard smell of good ole poo. Which brought me to the realization that Oh my they still use animals in circuses?! Last time I attended a circus was over 30 years ago when they used tigers, lions, and monkeys and well you name it. I really thought that they stopped using animals and was pretty sad to see that they had about 5 camels that they were selling tickets to ride them in a small circle on the arena. We could also see two elephants that they brought out during intermission to also sell tickets for rides around a circle. It's pretty disheartening to know that they still imprison these ginormous creatures making them preform and live in small quarters. I felt pretty bad about that. I only hope that these types of performances are on the out and will not be continued much longer. The show that the performers put on was perfectly fine without the use of the animals. My favorite was a lady gymnast who had some mad parkour skills and shot a bow and arrow from her foot to break a balloon all while holding herself upside-down with just one hand. Total badass. Overall the circus was fun, but there is no need to have animals perform for the amusement of humans. Though it was an amazing thing to see, it's cruel and needs to stop. I don't think I would see another one if I knew they used animals. The facility was pretty run down too. I think Cal-U plays hockey there. Not a very clean place and I am not just talking about the elephant dung.

I brought my daughter here today for her first time skating. This was my first trip to the ice…read moregarden in years, I hadn't been here since I came to watch my high schools hockey games. I saw on Facebook they have a toddler ice skating class so we decided to try it out. The class was absolutely perfect. I have to say it really exceeded my expectations. I was really nervous about her being on the ice for the first time, especially without me, but the instructors were really great. They made the class fun for the kids and made sure everyone was included. The cost was 11$ which included skates and about an hour long class. We will definitely be back! (Helmet and gloves are required for ice babies class)

I understand "policies" but maybe there could be further consideration for the parents that are required to be there. Skate Castle doesn't charge adult spectators. - Skate floor can get a bit overcrowded - Adults of children/adults skating with their younger children skating around extremely fast at times and others getting run into/knocked down - Concessions are a bit on the higher side ($3.50 for a small slushie) My kids ended up having a blast which offset the higher prices of all the things, but I'm not so sure that we'll be going back here too often.

My two younger ones really liked the small roller rink to start out. This was their first time ever skating. There is a lot of steps to go up to the roller rink from the parking lot.

I decided not to tempt the fates, especially since the last time I roller skated, I crack my one bone from my knee to my ankle...yeah, wasn't going down that route again. Like most skating rinks in this area the building looks a bit unassuming. In fact it looks like either an industrial building or an oversized garage. I think it's a bit confusing at this area as well since they have self-storage units for rent as well. Inside, instantly taken back to the 90s. You have to be buzzed into the place, but only after you either purchase an entrance, or are there for a party. A little extra safety precaution that doesn't allow for anyone in that shouldn't be there. The rink is your typical setup, right in the middle of the floor with a walkway around it for the most part. There is a party room, an arcade, a concession stand, and the place where you get your skates/trade in arcade tickets to get your prize. The party room is not all that great. When you book a party you are given a section of the room and you will share it with at least one other group, and it can be up to four other groups sharing the room with you. A missed opportunity here is the blocked connection to the arcade. As for the food, I did not try it. It looked like premade everything, thrown together pizza. Speaking of the arcade, it was where I spent most of my time with my nephew and niece. Typical arcade games that you can earn tickets through. Skeeball, basketball, skill games, etc. Those seem to be provided my Slinky Action Zone, at least that is what the slip says when you trade them in. Overall, great experience, but odd hours.

There is only one sheet of ice but the arena in general is so well maintained and situated in a nice park area that it is hard to give them anything but 5 stars. The lobby area is large with large windows to watch from the warmth of the lobby. There is a very nice snack bar where they make fresh pizza and other grill items like hamburgers and eggs. The coffee isn't the best tasting, but it is fresh and hot - and costs just $1. There are a couple TVs hanging from the walls and a small arcade. I didn't see a pro-shop but they do sell a few items like tape in a vending machine. The lone negative in the lobby is the restrooms. They're dingy and usually dirty when I've been there. The ice rink is very bright. All the lights work and the score board functions properly. They also have a board that displays shots on goal, a nice feature that not all rinks have. A nice thing they do, which no other rink does for amateur hockey and least at the A level, is cut the ice between 2nd and 3rd period. That is an awesome thing. There is a lot of room for the spectators, and the steps are not steep. Very comfortable. This rink doesn't want people to watch along the glass at the corners, and they have put visual obstructions on the glass to discourage people from standing there. They probably have a good reason, but as a parent I often like to stand where I have the best vantage point to see him play and hopefully get action pictures. They have a large parking lot too. With the nice amenities for parents, this is a good venue for tournament games, or any activity that requires you to spend time here waiting, This is a rink that I always look forward to coming to.
