I paid $4,750 for summer camp. A few weeks later, due to the pandemic, I was laid off. I immediately contacted them asking for a refund. It took 3 weeks for the owner to finally respond and refused a refund. I have them plenty of notice and cost no expense to them but he is choosing to keep all of my money. He is only out for himself and has no regard for the community her services.

Great roller hockey venue with a jungle gym for youngsters. There are two rinks both with clear glass that are not scuffed up, this is a plus The spectator area sits about 4 feet above the rinks. Not enough seating is why Im giving this place 4 stars. Bathrooms are clean.

My daughter attends summer camp there and cant stop raving about it! They offer so much for the kids to do in a day. The counselors are all amazing and really take the time out to get to know the kids individually.

Mens league hockey here is awful. Roof leaks. They wont put new tape on the rink with completely faded crease lines. The rinks do not get cleaned. You have to supply your own pucks. Refs do not care at all and youll be lucky to get 2 refs a game. Youll still have to pay for 2 refs even if only one shows up. Management just does not care about anything and is an embarrassment to hockey.

Our company used this location for a charity function with about 200 people. The employees here were accommodating and very friendly. The location was perfect for our event, large, clean, organized and it had a great area for food. The restrooms are large and clean. The location was a little chilly, but other than that, it was a perfect spot for our event.

Fun place for the whole family. Loved the Lacrosse clinic for beginners. Friday night skate nights are back and their aftercare and summer camp are full of fun.

This place is okay for the children to go the only thing I didmt like is that they dont have the rails for smaller children to hold on while they skate which is why I didnt have my daughters party here

Hands down one of the dirtiest places you will ever visit. Little to no maintenance performed anywhere, especially in the rinks.Edit 2/23/19: Rink is now under new ownership and things are improving. I added one star to my original review. New owner is almost always present and is working furiously to make needed improvements including significant cleaning. Thank you Anthony for the improvements!

This place rocked. I did the adult disco party. And it was awesome. Manager on duty was great. Literally had the whole place to ourselves. Staff was responsive and courteous. I would definitely do it again!

You couldnt beat it for the price! I took myself and my three kids for 5 hours and it only cost us $45. Skating, GIANT climbing gym thing w/slides, bounce house. A lot of the skates were really beat up and they advertise an arcade on their site which isnt there anymore but other than that it was great. We had a blast and cant wait to go back!

Marple Sports Arena is a great place to bring the family. The play area was a favorite. You can also play sports there, like inline hockey. The new ownership has focused on every detail to make your experience the best. Excellent value!

As far as the rink goes they are close to full size, but the locker room are small and dirty, also the parking lot is pretty small if there is any tournament, they will run out of parking space.

Pretty cool place to take the family skating. We had a blast as its the only place around town where you can still skate. We were given two pairs of broken blades which was the only down side.

I am writing about my experience yesterday at the Marple Sports Arena for my childs 5th birthday party. I honestly think I am being generous by giving 2 stars. Whomever the owner of this place is really needs to train their employees on customer service. Our party host was helpful, however, every chance she got she was on her cell phone and hurdled in a corner with another employee talking badly about the guests. I have multiple people apart of my party come to me to tell me our host was talking badly about people. There was poor communication with the employee working the Moon Bounces at the time and I had to walk back and fourth to talk to the gentleman working the Moon Bounce to allow my party guests on since I paid $40 extra for them. Finally I was able to grab my party hosts attention and she explained the stamp on my guests wristbands. The gentleman working the Moon Bounce was on his cell phone more than he was monitoring the bounces. I saw 3 or 4 employees duct taping the blue Moon Bounce, honestly I was waiting for it to pop at any second. Why I had to pay an extra $40 for my guests to jump on a public Moon Bounce that is literally on its last leg it beyond me. The Mountain was pretty old, a lot of wear and tare & I doubt its being cleaned properly. The gentleman monitoring the Mountain was on an ear piece and talking on his cell phone the entire time. The Mountain was dark and when I asked if there was any more lighting I was told no. The pizza was cheap so I didnt want to complain but it was extremely under cooked. The girls working behind the snack bar were rude. Multiple people from my party said when they stood in line, the girls just stared at them. No one asked Can I help you or What would you like, nothing. I am thankful my daughter had fun regardless, however, I would never go back and I would never recommend this place for a birthday party. This was way overpriced for what you get in return and the poor treatment from the entire staff is enough to make you want to walk out. I remember coming to this place as a child and thinking it was the best place in the world. Very disappointing.

We hosted our daughters first birthday party here. We used one rink for the buffet/table seating area and the other for a bounce house, slide and other games for the kids. They also had a blast in the Marple mountain and arcade! The party was entertaining for all from the kids to the grandparents. The staff was amazing to work with from the initial planning stages to set up and clean up the night of the party. We wanted to throw our daughter a very special party and Marple Sports Arena took it to another level. We cant thank them enough for a great night for our little girl, family and friends!!

Marple Sports Arena was the perfect place to hold a fundraiser for our local elementary school. They had activities for all ages including an Arcade, Moonbounce, roller skating (with awesome music playing) and of course, the famous Marple Mountain! Kindergartens all the way up to 5th graders had a blast! I have never seen kids smile & laugh so much as when they were on the roller rink. A great photo opportunity for yearbook pictures :-) The employees were attentive to all of our needs & kept a good eye out for all the kids. Parents commented on how nice the facilities were. Clean, convenient and affordable! Whats not to love?!

I went here with my family to celebrate a birthday and I was not pleased. The food was too salty and the food took too long to come out. Also the music that they were playing was not appropriate for kids I heard several curse word in most of the songs. I also think the bathrooms need to be checked often, when i went in there most of the toilets were not flushed and it was just unsanitary.

Marple Sports Arena is the best after school care in delco. My son Angelos last day was today there after 3 great years with them. Their staff Mike, Kelly, and Ashley are simply the best. I know my son will miss them all. Thanks a bunch!! Matt Risi

Kids had a great time!! The super combo was a great value $22 got them everything the arena had to offer and kept them entertained all day. I am considering having my childs next party there seems like a good deal. All in all a great spot but a little tough to find on regular GPS but came right up on my smart phone GPS.

My favorite recreation/sports zone in the Eastern Hemisphere!!!!Marple Sports arena is the mecca of family sports entertainment bar none in the Greater Philadelphia area. Conveniently located near all major interchanges, this fun zone offers an extensive menu and variety of games and activities to keep kids busy all day long.Pricess are extremely reasonable (compared to many of the local competitors), and the environment is safe, comfortable and inviting. I take my kids here all the time and have recommended this place to MANY friends and family.If you are looking for an outstanding experience for your family, or just want to drop a group of kids off for the day to run some errands, this is the place to do it--and it wont break the bank!....You will thank me later

Review №58

Not welcoming at all! Came in and walked to the front office the guy sat at his desk and just stared at me like I had two heads. When I asked him for help he directed me elsewhere. When I went to another section of the facility I was directed back to the front desk. Wanted to take my boys to the arcade, moon bounce and mountain attraction and they were looking at me strange like they didn’t know what I was talking about.I Brought a Groupon for $47 dollars and they wouldn’t even honor it.Not an arcade card or nothing. Waste of time travel and money.

Best facility around!!! I play Adult hockey and the leagues are evenly matched up. When a team is too strong, they get sent up the next season. They even have music between faceoffs and post live stats during the games. Great layout in the facility and a nice proshop when you need some new gear!!! Only place to play in my opinion.

My children were registered for the first week of Marple Sports Camp in 2012.My daughter Lauren Kinard, 6 years old,thoroughly enjoyed her week at Marple. She cried and pouted on her last day, sad that she had to say goodbye. Im happy to know that you all have created such a warm, welcoming, and fun environment for the kids. Thanks for posting pics on FB also. Nice to see her all smile and giggles in all the pics. Arnez,my 9yr old son, also enjoyed himself. He has also expressed wishing he could continue camping at Marple.Im surprising them with another week at Marple. By far, per the two of them, this is the best camp they have ever attended.
