Always love going to the rink, but during COVID, there seems to be no safety policy in place. To many unmasked people huddled up in a small space. I dont like the fact that kids can now skate on the carpet. I got rolled over by some wild thing teenager, while I was sitting on the bench and holding an infant. In the past, you skated on the carpet briefly, just to get to the chair to sit down. On our first social outing since the Pandemic, will not to skate. Its more dangerous with the skaters skating up and down the carpet, and skating over people, than it is trying to social distancing. No store supervision on or off the floor.

I’m not much of a skater but the kids love this place. We come here often and they skate for hours. My little one is starting to like skating too so now its a family affair. Love that they play games with the kids so its not just hours of going around and around and around...Only have one complaint - would be nice if the DJ played todays hits. We recently rented the space for a fundraiser and the DJ was playing 90s early 2000s music, which was perfectly fine for most of the parents but the kids complained about the music.

Was there for a birthday party. Was a very nice venue for kids who would like a skating party. Pizza was good and the kids had a blast. Was an all around clean place and staff was very hospitable.

It was cool and satisfied the skating urge but the music was so loud tonight. It was louder than the other rinks we have visited. I left with a serious headache and it didnt help that the lights kept going off and on so many times for which seemed to be for no reason. The food was okay and the prices of the toys were a bit high. Its a great place for families to hangout, have a quick dinner, and gain a full body workout all in the same place. I love skating but I think Ill be visiting other local rinks on days that are less crowded. I have small twins and like to keep a eye on them. I lost sight of them in the crowd a few times. I also didnt like how the more experienced skaters brushed so many smaller kids. Back in the day, the experienced skaters stayed to the outside and the less experienced skaters stayed closer to the inner circle. It was not like that tonight. The older kids were skating all over the place causing a lot of kids to lose their balance. Ill probably go there again in the future when my kids are a bit older and able to handle themselves on the floor. It was too chaotic for my taste. I have 4 stars because this is not unusual for a skating rink. I just gave my review for other protective parents off small children. Theyre other skating days or rinks that are a bit more laid back to keep your sanity.

Awesome! Cant recommend a roller rink higher. Good family place and the gentlemen that teaches Saturday morning is phenomenal. Good at explaining things to kids.

Review №14

So clean!!! And the best part, the owners are Christians. The rental skates and the whole building actually are well taken care of. The snack bar prices are way too high though. This place is worth the drive from Hampton for roller skating.

Review №15

Good clean fun definitely family friendly atmosphere if there was anything to say that was wrong was that there was just a little too much hip hop music. But I guess thats what kids like huh Id like to have heard a little more christ-centered music

Very great experience. The kids loved the music selection. Very affordable prices. The pizza was made fresh and was delicious. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Review №17

We loved everything except for the police on the floor. He blew his whistle constantly yelling at people. The only exception was the young girls he flirted with and broke rules his own rules with on the floor. He didnt set a very good example. He just showed off his skating to the girls. He was the only negative person who worked in the rink. Everyone else was wonderful..

Review №21

I had no idea what kind of music they were playing. I am 44 perhaps I’m out of the loop. Even at my age I still know modern music. My husband who wasn’t skating had to pay to get in. It’s just not the experience I remember as a teen. Freestyle music, rap, rock music, contests for costumes and best skate dancers etc. Virginia is different than California I suppose. I guess I will skate and listen to my AirPods outside of my house. So disappointing.

It’s wonderful. It can be hard trying not to hit people who don’t know how to skate, then I fall trying to not hit them. They don’t know when to turn the lights off. But it’s really fun to skate and they have to close early Andy they gave us a ticket to come back FREEE

Great place to take the kids for some skating fun. This place reminds me of my childhood skating rink. Very family friendly. There should be a skating rink like this in the Western Branch and Churchland area. :-)

Br
Review №27

We went here on a Groupon and have now gone back several times. The rink is big enough. It usually isnt very crowded and everybody is polite. It is hit or miss on the skating officials, they sometimes enforce rules, and sometimes not, so if you are a rule follower this can be frustrating. Im not, so I didnt notice until my wife pointed it out, she is a rule follower. They have a snack bar and they do birthday parties. There are also lockers to lock up your stuff. You can bring your own skates or rollerblades, but they will rent those to you as well. It is good wholesome family fun. We have only been on weekends and in the afternoon.

Review №38

Could not be more disappointed with the customer service and how they treat people. The manager was beyond rude and I was not allowed to sit and be there if something happens to my daughters, at a young birthday party (which the parents scheduled and paid ahead for the party and kids) because I would not pay for myself to get in. I was not going to skate or eat, just sit and make sure my girls were okay. They told me I was not allowed to stay unless I paid a fee to sit because it was pizza night. I explained I would not be eating because I have severe food allergies and I could show them papers showing that. She said I do not care, to sit inside you have to pay. I have been here before for girl scout events and never once paid to sit and make sure my kids were okay. I guess the family values you say are important really arent. To make a parent sit in the car during a birthday party they brought their kids to and is not going to eat the pizza served or skate is mind blowing.

It’s a great place. Clean, not overly crowded, and the skaters seem well mannered for the most part. However, their music is WAY Loud...also, they need some maintenance on their blades. The skates are in good shape though.

This place was fun but really busy. Definitely would go during and not so busy time to help teach my little ones to skate better other than that its very clean and good food great price.

Great family place. Very friendly. Great pizza. Refs on the floor are amazing about helping anyone learn how to skate! Very aware of there surrounding and keep an eye on everyone! 100% recommended! Took my two year old and she loved it as well as her sisters who are 11 & 8. Both the older girls couldnt skate and the ref taught her how to skate!!

Review №48

Super fun for my kids. They came here for a birthday party. Its bigger than another area skating rink we have been to and frequent so that was nice. However, since it was a Saturday, it was extrememly busy with parties and general public skating. So, a bit overwhelming. But very nice and helpful staff and some of, what seem like, regulars were helpful with novice skaters trying to get to the middle of the rink.

Review №51

I’ve been coming here with my children for years on the weekends with no problems. This was actually one of my favorite places to skate with my kids because of the nice atmosphere. Tonight my children and I had an encounter with one of the most rudest, belligerent floor guards I’ve ever met. Based on this experience alone, I will not be coming back to this establishment. A person that irate should not be working around children.

Its okay, love skating. Reason for three stars was that the staff handing out skates wasnt very friendly, sure it was just a bad day. Also, there wasnt much policing of kids going the right way.. so it was kind of hard to skate.

Its nice to be able to skate if your kids are looking for something to burn that energy.. Lol.. and with how scarce the ranks are these days, its nice to support your local business that entertain.

I love that they have Christian/Gospel music which makes it very comfortable for me. I dont have to worry about my children being exposed to music I dont approve of. Its also trendy music so the children still have a good time

Review №74

Obsessed with this floor. Its so smooth....however this is a very Christian based business, so the music can vary.....and they have times blocked off for Christian only skaters. Wednesday and Thursday nights are the best times if youre on a budget. Its only $6 and theres free all you can eat pizza until 8 pm. One thing I dont like is the games, they get everyone off the rink for periods to play tag or red light green light. There is also a thing where they clear the rink of everyone and you cant skate for 5-10 minutes unless youve purchased a glow stick or have some type of lighted/disco element. Like wheels or a pacifier. Which I think is BS, bc the rest of us paid to be there skating and now youve excluded a group based on money essentially.....

Review №75

Love going on Saturdays morning. Very cheap, fun, and great exercise. the atmosphere is pleasant for all ages. Absolutely love the theme! The only thing I dont like is not enough supervision to enforce the rules while skating. The young boy today was missing 1/3 of the time, when he finally returned he was too busy skating with some others. Some of the smaller ones, all excited and full of energy, tend to forget them, which makes for a lot of collisions while skating. (Cutting through the practice area, going against the flow, etc. The older gentleman, who wasnt there, does a much better job but one or even two isnt enough for the crowd)

Review №76

The referees were friendly and inviting! Even when I first walked in the girl that have me tickets greeted us with a smile and told us to have a good time. The guy at the skate booth said the same and had the same smile and at one point the referees started dancing with people in the ring. They were very helpful any children that fell, they helped, and if any children needed to cross to the middle they walked with them. Very good time

Review №91

I decided to go there with my niece, cousin and father. It was fun with good music, but it was a bit too rowdy, bathrooms were dirty. and the staff wasnt really good. It could that I still look like Im a teenager (I look nothing my age), but when the person forgot to give me my ticket, they didnt even try to help. They just dimissed me when I had my receipt in hand. They didnt take me seriously at all, so I have to walk back to the person I purchased it from, sadly I had to interrupt them, and they gave it to me. Going there made me remember all the things I hated about high school, but it reminded me of some of the good things as I had a great time.

5 dollar minimum. Admission is $10 per adult including rental but then if you want roller blades then thats a SURPRISE $2.00 fee (uh oh $5.00 minimum so heres a $3.00 home-made gift card). You have to get a $0.50 locker too because they dont take your shoes at the rental counter like EVERY OTHER PLACE. I saw a fight and my sister had her breast grabbed by a mentally disabled teenager.
