Floor is in horrible shape. Feels like Michigan roads. They painted the floor, thats it.

Not ran like a proper rollerskating center. No floor guards or staff supervising the floor. Parents with muddy shoes walking on the floor with drinks in their hands. The new owners should stick to laser tag places.Rinks should not be dead on a winter Friday night. Riverside Arena and Skate World should be visited and notes taken.

My favorite local roller rink. Weve been going here for over 15yrs and it still rocks. Clean, safe, diverse, great music.

Love visiting here! Great, friendly, staff and the kids love the music that’s played while they skate. Some arcade games that can keep the adults entertained for a bit too. Good place!

Took my daughter there for her first time rollerblading. I decided I would skate with her to gain confidence. Well if you don’t own slate you better not think of renting theirs. The guy behind the skate rental even said how bad the skates were and I quote, “the skates are older than me”. Went through 3 pairs before finally giving up. Manager Dan seemed annoyed that I was upset at how they didn’t have any size 10, that actually functioned properly. It unfortunately will be the reason why I will not return with my daughter. I was very frustrated at the whole experience, not to mention every time I tried on a new pair I had to wait in a line of about 12 ppl while only 1 person worked the skate rental and play space area combined. The entire place is unorganized. Sad to see this place go downhill as it was great memories of my childhood. I wish I took pictures of how terrible their skates were!

My son is a beginner and we found coming earlier gives him the space he needs to get comfortable. The music is good, nothing disrespectful. The employees are nice and very helpful, clean facilities. We will definitely be back.

Paid 9.50 to get in and 4 for blades. The dj was so bad, at times no music, music skipping. This was my first time to try adult skate and I dont suggest it if its that dj. Bad experience

Review №17

Very nice place, diverse music, wasnt really crowded, the lighting was great... I had nachos and pizza and they were both good for skating rink food... I would definitely go back and I highly recommend taking your kids... oh I forgot!!! They have a play escape for the kids, so once you see this goodbye skating lol...

Review №18

I enjoyed my time here with my friends and the music was nice as they took requested songs, however when I was trying to help someone who was struggling and kept of falling, the staff over the microphone told me off and said the eighth grader attending the child please stop. Now I get how it can be dangerous but I am a pretty good skater and I have helped a couple of people myself so I completely understand where the staff is coming from but to call me an eighth grader sort of angered me. I am old enough to drive my car but I am a bit short so I can understand where they thought I was an eighth grader but I thought that was rude to bluntly stop me from helping someone just because I look young.

The building itself is pretty old, but the price is relatively cheap. They rent out decent skates. The lights were pretty cool at night on the rink. I would have preferred better music (more family friendly).

Edit: I am changing my rating and review as I was reached by the manager and has taken my feedback. He had shown great respect and desire to improve the relationship and customer satisfaction. Thats very much appreciated. Hope the training sessions will be improved to treat the beginners as beginners

Fun for the whole family! The only downfall is when the ticket booth is closed the wait is longer to purchase tickets at the snack stand.

Review №22

Too expensive! They charge for every little thing. Also, it cost me nearly $25 to enter for just two of us, and I had my own skates! Its a nice rink, but Ill be poor if I took my child weekly!

Review №23

This place was a childhood favorite. When we went back last week for a birthday party the memories just came flooding back. They have roller skates and inline for rental or you can bring your own for a $4? Inspection fee I believe. They have a newly built caged play structure for a $6 fee which was a little pricey but our daughter loved it. The staff was friendly and did their jobs well so we will def be back for a open skate.

Gum on the floor, no one watching the floor(Floor guard), didnt play one game. But the gentlemen at the door was super nice! Good sized floor and a really cool looking bounce house type thing!

Review №27

Very pricey for no reason , admission 9.50 per person and skate rental is $5, there floor is not as smooth as other skating rinks, snack bar is decent but pricey, music Slection was decent , they have a nice place scape area for kids that cost 6$ , its a nice place just expensive and I don’t like the skating floor

Review №31

Pretty fun place, we went for a bday party and everything for my little one was paid for just about. The staff was pretty good although they tend to not pay attention to the entrance to the play area so kids get lined up at the entrance but in fairness, its also the desk where you rent skates. The food was solid also so overall, pretty fun for the whole family.

Went there for the first time for a birthday party. Very nice environment and kids and adults all had a great time. Adult rental blades were incredibly uncomfortable though. Padding was non existent and the locks wouldnt click into place. Time to update them!

So much to do. Even for kids who dont skate. Love it.

Review №34

Delightful place. Very loud. Today they had the play ground open for the school event. The lady staff was kind but the men staff were crass. Typically the manager on duty was extremely rude. Too stringent on time. The games ended at 8:30 pm and he said that we were supposed to get the tickets before that. Also disallowed my kid to get juice while we were next and last in line. The manager was harsh on the old lady staff. And we were paying. I only went there because it was a school event. No reason to go to this place otherwise.

Went with a friend for some nice time. You will have one too if you can manage yourself with skates on :)

We had a surprise birthday party for our son today and our experience with the staff was awesome. Right from the start it was smooth. I left a voicemail message one evening and received a return call from Dan the next morning. Dan and Dave answered all of my questions and were very professional (we actually canceled our reservation with another venue because they werent responding in a timely manner). The remodeling look great. When we arrived, our host, Alex took care of our every need and then some! He went beyond our expectations as a host. He was extremely professional, courteous, and personable. He was very attentive. He kept a smile on his face the whole time (I could tell he had a great spirit). It was great to see a young man take pride and act so professionally. I would recommend Bonaventure as a party venue. The prices are affordable, and the kids had a great time. The staff there this evening were all professional, helpful, and nice. Alex, I commend you. Stay on the right road-you will go far with that attitude!

Edit: it was juice, not ice cream. Yeah they dont have ice cream. I wonder if theyd have given us that a minute after the arcade closed and us being the only one left in line.Dont ask for ice cream a minute after hours. The manager in duty is the king!

I grew up going to Bonaventure with my friends as a kid. We had so much fun back in the day and made some really great memories. So Im tickled that it has stood the test of time and I can continue to take my kids there. Weve had a few birthday parties here, too. Its a fun place to spend an afternoon. They have skating and games for the smaller kids who dont want to or cant skate yet. They have a nice little prize counter for the games, too. They also have a snack bar for some yummy treats. I would totally recommend this place for a fun afternoon or a birthday party for one of the kids!

Family Fun!! This was our first time going to Bonaventure and we will be back. Staff was friendly and facility was well maintained. It was well lit and my daughter said the light show was the best. I highly recommend this rink.

Review №41

I would highly recommend this location for your party or just a day out. Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. I had a party for my 6 year old and at the last minute several people canceled. Instead of taking all of my money it was suggested I move to the tables and pay for the kids as they come. They still gave me a few things and helped me with everything. I cant thank them enough for making sure that my baby had a ball!

It was good they just need better songs like more relevant when you skate and they need to be a little more strict when the announcer says to keep skating and not stand still

My daughters 13 year old birthday party was here! We couldnt have a picked a better location! Roger was hospitable and very very nice. Location was great and the staff was superb. Our party host was Alex. He was super attentive and make sure we had no problems. I highly recommend Bonaventure Skating Rink.. We will be back and we will tell others.

I skated at Bonaventure when I was a kid. I have some great memories and made many friends while skating there. I hadnt been there in quite a while but my son turned five and I wanted him to experience a part of my childhood that I really loved. BAD IDEA! I have never had such a negative experience at any place that Ive taken my family, like I did at Bonaventure! There was an older man that was extremely rude. It was obvious that helping us was a total inconvenience and he couldnt have been more obnoxious! I tried to locate a manager and explain the situation but could not find someone who was clearly in charge. I asked three employees if they could point me to the manager, and none could help. After getting something to eat in there over priced snack area, we decided to leave. My son needed to use the bathroom which was generally clean, except for the disgusting toilet filled with feces! Needless to say we will NEVER be back! If you want to go somewhere and have fun with your family...DONT GO HERE!!!!!!

They don’t play good music, and it isn’t loud. You guys need to play more hip hop music.

I honestly enjoy this place and hope the best for the members that work there. But, I dont think they should band hockey skates because of one person! And Im not gonna lie, I have done numerous of hockey stops on there old developed floor, but never once did I bring the wood up from the skating floor. I wish they can look at this message and understand my point of view. Ive been coming to Bonaventure for nearly 4 years and now it might be my last because of whats someone else did!!! Little do they realize Im the main reason why many of my peers come there. And yes, some do disrespect Mr.Roger-(manager) but I dont. All Im saying is this..... dont band a specific type of skate that people myself pay over 400$s for because of one person! Just band that one person with their type of skate!- Andrew B. Fountain

The staff was great, it was my first time with my almost 4 year old and he didnt last long... they refunded me and my son and said to come back again and the same deal applied! Very nice staff, we will be back to try again! We also stayed around and played a few games (they were not in the best condition, a few were missing pieces) but my son won 1,000 tickets!! He had a great time!

Review №72

Our first visit was very nice. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasnt very crowded, the kids were able to skate freely and enjoy themselves. The kids had fun, played games and the music was appropriate for family skate time. It was an enjoyable visit. I would go back again.

We had a make up class on Sunday, the class started 15 minutes late and lasted for 45 minutes instead of one hour. Roller blades were terrible and outdated . John the old man working in the skate department was incredibly rude , he has no sense to talk to women . The teacher told my wife to pick roller blades for my kid from the roller blades area and john started yelling at my wife and told her to get out . My wife told him that the teacher told her to pick up the roller blades but he was not in a mood to hear anything . When my wife told the whole incident to the teacher , although the teacher was apologetic but said she could not do any thing because the man is too rude to hear any advice.

Very nice family entertainment. The gentleman named Deangelo is always attentive, courteous and professional. The entire staff is wonderful.

I had my sons birthday party. Long story short I had to call police to safely escort us out as we were threatened to be kicked out. They refered to us as you people. We were told to pay for every table we occupied. The Manager said he can charge us whatever he wants, we were told to pay for water, no water service, no cleaning service. My guests who asked for water were told to take their cups to the water fountain and fill it. I had family and friends invited to this event. My guests were eating dinner and a server came and RUDELY ordered them to move to another table and walked away. I went to Roger/ manager and said all this was not necessary since we were paying for everything they demanded . He bluntly said HE WANTS TO KICK US OUT NOW!!!! Never again, will we go. This was my kids bday party, with friends and family were from out of town. What a shame!! Never again and i strongly recommend every peace loving parent to stay away from this place.

The place is a big mess... sorry but there is no service - if you organize a Borthday or a Party, expect nothing more than chaos and no help. all the time we were there there was hardly any water on tables, no water, service! save your time and money, take your party someplace else!
