My sons love Penn Skate! We drive from NJ to go there. Its a huge rugged and industrious warehouse. Lots of ramps to keep you entertained. Its perfect for anyone who likes skateboards, skooters, and bikes. They also have a shop, they sell, rent and repair bikes, skooters and skateboards. I met another family that also drive from over a hour from NJ. Penn Skate gets 5 stars from us.

One of the only good indoor skateparks left in the area.

Awesome rhythm section with 5 box jumps. Owner/staff super cool. Drove up from VA and definitely want to come back. 2 criticisms: allow bikes in the whole park and open during the day. Even so, what this place has to offer is totally unique from anywhere Ive ever been. Local BMX crew all dope.

Got my first skateboard here. The owner was really helpful and nice. The indoor skate park is pretty big and a bit intimidating.

Great place and very nice owner. The park is great, big, and has great ramps. It is great for beginners to professionals. This is the greatest skatepark ever. I spent 23 hours here skateboarding last weekend.

Great place, my son has been wanting to try a foam pit for a long time and had a great time. Reasonably priced, nice staff that don’t breathe down your neck. We’ll be back soon.

Picked up some cheap skates after being off them for 15 years. So great to be welcomed back like family and to have such a well kept and generally awesome place to shake off the cobwebs. Its rare to find a business owner who take as much pride in their work as Chris does. Cheers!

It was a great day. It was gloomy and gray outside, so it was the perfect time to try this place out. It did not disappoint. We were there from 11AM to 9PM. They close from 4:00 to 4:30 on a Saturday. The gentleman behind the counter(assuming it was the owner) was so compliant, and just an all around nice guy. Id give this place 5 stars, but it was a little dirty. No fault of the owner, but from all the people who dont know how to clean up after themselves. There is a shop that sells bikes, scooters, and parts needed to keep running. There is an arcade, a great spot for the adults to hang while the kids are doing there thing. Will definitely be back.

Nice place ...this is a tough business ..they always try to keep improving and the culture is full of really nice people..so no matter your skill level.. everyone is always willing to help and give tips

So cleanly! All ramps are extremely well kept! The bowl in the back is made of cardboard, its great to hear that the owner cares about using recycled materials. There is a special section for parents of scooterers to hang out, and if your type of woman is the kind with the let me speak to the manager haircut, youll have luck there. Theres some holes in most ramps from missing cardboard, it adds a great challenge. The foam pit is the jewel in the crown of Penn Skates dedication to meet OSHA standards and is very obviously cleaned on the daily. Lastly, Id like to add that the food is delicious!

A great place to ride. Is a fair price for the amount of time you get to ride. And its a great park. It has a bike section, skate section, two bowls, and a foam pit. PLUS they have a cool shop connected that has some good stuff. And even a little food section where you can get something to eat and drink. Over all a good place. Grear vibe and people. Ramps are maintained and even changed up every now and then. Good place, greatly recommend to go check out

Ramps are kinda of bumpy ,fun...only thing I dislike is how they close off half the park to bmxers tbh is the only real reason for my rating

Review №36

The session I went to on a Sunday was absolutely way too full. More than half the bike section was unrideable because everyone sits in the way on the street side. The box side is not easy. Steep, technical lips, and weird run ups. The street side looks okay but I would way rather have ridden the side that doesn’t allow bikes (more than any other section). And that section barely had anyone in it.Cool to ride the little devil bowl but that in itself is not enough to make me a regular. Also I think it’s a super weird business practice (and not good customer service) to end a session and kick 40-50 people out promptly at 430...I mean they’re capitalizing.. but I doubt I’ll ever be back.

This place is great to perform your latest trick or just have a good time with your self. It was a great chance to learn from other riders. Penn skate is the place where you can go and create a routine. I love it hope it never goes away.

Awesome park. Has foam pit and ramps. Good food and shop too. The whole park is open to scooters, skateboards, rollerbaldes etc. If you bike, you can only ride half the park. Otherwise, 10/10

Review №41

Wasnt that great- the guy working the counter/register at the time I went in acted really, really rude towards me, and the little kid that was in front of me. The park was rickety as hell, and really doesnt feel very good to skate. The cameras in every corner made it feel like some kind of government facility more than a skatepark. Felt like more of a hassle than a good time. Plenty of better places to skate than this creepy place.

Review №47

My kid told me he slammed a door by accident or should I say the door slammed behind him. The owner Chris started screaming at him calling him names. This guy is a tool and lost multiple sales that day and a good customer because he likes to verbally attack kids. As for the park, it is garbage. You would think someone who has been or is trying to make money off the industry for years would have a good park and know how to respect their customers. Nope this guy chris is a tool and I know pro skaters that would back my words up.

Its ok for being the only indoor park around. Bmx takes of the place pretty quick. Scooters are also in masses.

Review №54

The park is ok its not as bad as some people make it out to be. They have a new bowl and foam pit which is pretty sick and fun to skate. This is a park to let your imagination loose and make fun obstacles set ups or try new things. Its 12 dollars for like 4 or 5 hours. The owner is strict he hates people braking the rules or cocky kids and thats his right. He isnt a dick hes just strict about his park. Overall its a decent park and right now one of the only indoor parks left around this area of PA Id say its worth going to check out just make sure you have your id or waver signed and notarized if youre under 18 also you can flow around pretty good you just cant skate from one end to the other but theres plenty of things to cruise a line and flow
