Love coming here! Good music with a variety (old and new stuff). Decent prices on concessions. Staff are willing to play songs and games at request. Decor is totally 80s but its cute and nostalgic. Side note: cant chew gum here

Didnt like the fact that we had to lock up everything, now days people like to steal everywhere you go. They need something for adults learning to skate! LoL Was there to have fun with my nephew Mayo

There is no such thing as a bad roller skating rink. From the high scale and aesthetically pleasing rinks to the low end rinks of small towns, there is only varying degrees of “its good” when it comes to roller skating. Or that’s what I thought until I came to the rola-Rena. Admittedly, it take a lot of skill to suck all the fun out of something as simple and enjoyable as roller skating. It’s almost inspiring that they were able to get people to pay to come into this sweaty, unwelcoming environment with horrible interior design. If you like getting ripped off, getting yelled at for skating “too fast” by ornery old people, doing physical activity in a 110 degree room, or falling on a crusty floor that hasn’t been cleaned since the 1800s, I highly recommend!

Back in the 80s we had fun here. Mary wasnt so insane back then. Please dont bring your kids here. If you dont believe me, read the most recent reviews and even go back a few years. Its not good anymore.

I love that the people that run the place can be very nice. They even take some song request. Kids that are 5 and under get something to help and teach them to roller blade or roller skate. I suggest this place for birthdays.

I work for Badger State Brewing & we put on a 70s Roller Disco staff party at the Rola-Rena last March & loved every minute of it. Mary was so great & super helpful with putting the entire thing together. We cant wait to get another one on the books for 2019!

Staff is rude. I had a garbage can held up to my face and told to spit out my gum (Im not skating and am an adult...). I was also told I had to put my coat in a locker instead of wear it. We had a school function here, and the staff made everyone wait outside in the cold. The staff taking money (CASH ONLY) was very, very slow. She also didnt allow a baby in a carrier to come in! I cant believe this place and people in it exist. Im mind-blown. I will never come back.

This was the worst experience ever! They don’t allow car seats or strollers so I had to take my 6 month out of his car seat and hold him the entire time. She charged me for carrying him...he’s 6 months old. No places to change a baby or toddler. The owner yells at you for chewing gum. Takes away the helpers from kids older than 5 who need help. Overpriced. Cash only. If you need a size larger than 11 you aren’t skating. My shoes stuck to the ground when I walked. Oh and in case you were wondering my baby ended up not skating. We will never return and tell others never to go there either.

This place is horrendous. You can’t “go fast” and can get your skates taken away. If there was an option for less than a one star I would the lady really wants to make sure everyone has FUN but the people who can’t skate get pulled out even when they don’t want to not to mention the people that can skate and are getting pulled off the rink when they are just trying to have fun. Mary is the owner and is your worst nightmare of a middle school teacher. TERRIBLE do not recommend it.

First off the owner is rude as hell! I dropped my daughter off for a birthday party and I couldnt even go in and get her settled in because I didnt pay. She literally told me to get out. Who the hell charges people just to come in. If I couldve given a zero I would have!!! I cant even believe there still in business with an attitude like that. Not to mention all of there stupid new rules.

Review №13

This place is so unprofessional. My daughter went here for an afterschool program. They would teach them how to skate. I usually pick her up but on this occasion her dad was picking her up. He forgot the time that he was supposed to be there because again Im the one that usually gets her. My phone was not able to get any calls so I did not receive the calls from them. When I talked to my daughter and apologized for being late she told me that the lady Mary told her that if she wasnt picked up in the next couple of minutes that she would have to stand outside. I assume this would have been by HERSELF! My daughter is 8 years old! When I called Mary to ask her why would she threaten a child... she was rude and hung up the phone in my face. I pulled my daughter from the program. Shes lucky she didnt actually leave my child outside by herself because I swear I would have been put in an orange jumpsuit after I was finished with her

Do not patronize this business! I have never seen a so called business operate in such fashion. Wouldn’t let my daughter in with my grandson in her arms to get Sicily settled as she was there for a birthday party. Wanted to charge Shane Reno and I for coming in to pick up Sicily. Ripped my daughter off 15.00 by not giving her change from her 20.00 bill. On and on, they don’t take care of the floor everyone there was falling. Horrible woman that operates it, wanted to call the cops on me cause I wouldn’t pay for picking up Sicily, urgh

Cash only, bring cash.., No ATM, No change machine, a couple game machines not functioning.prizes outdated. Kid friendly 3-12ish environment, the young lady working the skate counter was very pleasant.One person running the door, and the snack stand, and birthday parties. She was obviously very overwhelmed. Caused several 30min waits for bottles of water and another one for change. I will say only polite words by all staff. However, I hope this is not the norm but an exception to the rule. I hope they have or hire another persons to run the snack bar. Would greatly improve the experience.

Mary is crazy! She took away my water bottle and said I had to buy water for $1.75! Never going here again got yelled at just for “going too fast” she also took away my coat and hat just for not having it in her gross locker. Not to mention this disgusting place! I saw her come directly from the rink then put her crusty hand into a cotton candy bag! Someone needs to take this lady back to the DMV!

Went there for the first time. Had my boys 10th birthday party there. The Rink floor is warped and sticky, you HAVE TO skate extremely slow or youll get yelled at and then escorted out the door, you have to use the provided lockers that are $.50 each, no standing around or socializing.. you MUST be skating at all times!! No cell phones on the floor at all! They will hold up everyones paid time to make sure all phones are put back into the lockers and pay another $.50 Dont get me wrong.. its an OK place to skate and if the lady there had a little or help, she wouldnt feel so overwhelmed?! We will travel to Kimberly and Appleton from now on.

First, the owner never updated that they were closed on Saturdays in the summer do we got there while it was closed. We dont drive so we took a bus there and called my mother for a ride. A woman also pulled up to go skating and called the owner to ask about times, mentioning we were there. We were offhandedly told not to stay too long. And we said we were waiting for a ride. About 20 minutes before our ride showed up the cops arrived and stated that we had been given multiple warnings to leave the property. (Which never happened.) We ended up leaving with just a warning but we werent doing anything aside from waiting for a ride! The owner was quite rude for lying to the police. Never coming back.

She kept yelling at me for to going to fast and going the wrong way. I could not bring my water bottle in so she took it. You Can just go in circles. Never going there again she taking the fun out of you. SHE NEEDS TO RETIRE. You can only duck down on limbo she never lowers the limbo she lifts it up for you. Hate this place. If you cant skate and your 5 or up you cant use those cart things to help you. HORRIBLE

Review №21

ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS. We had a party scheduled for upwards of 10 kids. We walked in the door, she rudely told us we couldnt bring in our 6 month old in his carseat/stroller. We questioned her, she became extremely rude with us, we got upset with her not allowing us to keep him there while he slept and she said I dont like your attitude, get out. Im taking all this down WILL NEVER RETURN. Ill go out of my way to tell every person how rude and incompetent she is.

Review №23

We take our grandchildren there frequently and enjoy the time, as do they. Mary makes you follow the RULES...which some dont know what rules are. the beginner gates must be shared...therefore a child cannot take it to their chair. If you do not believe your child can skate without one, make them wait for one to be available...dont let them go on the rink and injure themselves...as one reviewer stated. Yes, you pay to come inside...Mary cannot keep the place open if there isnt a bit of a profit. How many skating rinks do you find in todays world??? Take a chance and visit...Mary truly cares about the kids and keeping them safe!!! BTW...I have NEVER witnessed it being unclean !!!

Bad experience. Older woman that works there was rude, and should work at the dmv as it would fit her personality better. So many negative things I could say, but I’ll keep it short. Just skip it. If u have big feet and are brave enough to go, bring your own skates, they don’t have an large sizes.

Review №25

Cash only.....can anyone say IRS audit is due?The lady that runs this place is a capital B. There is a fee to sit there and watch your child skate or you can leave. With this lady in charge I am in now way going to leave her here without me. An absolute joke to pay $3.50 a person to watch my child skate. Only here for the Heritage night and will never be back. Time to open a real roller skate building and bury this place and it half dead owner in it.

Review №26

The owner, Mary is a nightmare. She was on everyones case not just personally but over the loud speaker embarrassing everyone. Constantly reminding everyone to stop skating so fast. She kicked my daughter off the skate floor for going under the limbo bar wrong. Then interrogated me when I was trying to go outside to my car. This place doesnt even deserve 1 star.

Review №27

Please ignore the negative reviews! I read some before going and we almost didnt go, thankfully we decided to try it anyway and are so glad we did! It was clean, low cost, family fun! Mary is wonderful!!! It was quite busy the day we visited and Mary was zipping around running things at an impressive pace, but when she saw my four year old struggling and unable to skate she stopped what she was doing, found my daughter some more age/ability appropriate skates and personally took her out on the rink to show her how to roll. My daughter was then very happily skating away. We will absolutely be back!

I grew up skating in another state. Both times I went to Rola-Rena I was so disappointed. The owner Mary was rude and besides her there was one other staff for the skate counter and the concession stand. I just hope that there will be another rink in Green Bay soon. Cause the community is not happy with her or the Rola-Rena.

Review №29

Horrible business! Not customer friendly at all. Unpleasant owner with teen staff charges parents $3.50 admission just to sit and watch kids skate. Went to a birthday party and only kids under 12 get a cupcake and there are no carry ins. Skate rentals only go up to size 10. Owner is very demanding...all coats in locker, no outside skates if you use them on the road...where else am I going to use my own skates? My home rink??? Everything is over priced and EVERYTHING is priced separately. Jackets not allowed to be laying around...you have to rent a 50 cent locker. Sorry, but skating is not THAT fun. Not worth the hassle.

Called to make a reservation for a church group. The owner was completely obnoxious and very rude. Would not accept our church group because we didnt have enough people. Overpriced place and obnoxious owner. She also has listed on her website different prices from what she actually told me on the phone. It was $1.50 per person on her website but was $5 when I called her. Definitely need more options for roller skating in town. This place is the worst.

Review №31

I had to resort to this place for my daughters birthday because the St. Mary Roller Rena shut down their business that year. All the negative reviews are accurate, its exactly what I experienced. I would not recommend this place, all of my guest, old to young, even a baby was treated badly by Mary and her staff. The cupcakes that come with the birthday package are so disgusting!!!!! One bite in and it was in the garbage. I tried it, it tasted like saw dust!

Place is horrible. The owner Mary threw our kids out because they were staking to fast. The kids were going as fast as the others on the floor. Then my pregnant girlfriend asked about our kids and Mary was rude to her. She told us all were all kicked out while putting her hand in my girlfriends face. Not sure how this place is still in business with the way the lady was so damn rude. The damn pizza wasnt even cooked all the way. Never will I ever go there again.

Ive been going to the Rola Rena since i was 4 yrs old and took lessons, which was in the 80s. It was the cool place to hang out and to me it is still a great place for kids and families. I had friends and relatives that worked there and I know the owner very well and she is very nice. There are reasons for the rules she has. As far as the price it is very cheap entertainment. The only problem i had was the teenagers and older kids skating too fast but other wise its a great place!

Review №34

The owner is so disrespectful. I havent been to this roller rena for so long but decided to look at the reviews because my friend apparently was in 4th grade and got punched and bitten by a kid, and she was the one getting blamed. Mary let the kid who bit her tell her story but told my friend she can only say 5 words. Thinking back I would say that the 1 star ratings are spot on. Honestly I would give it a -5.

Review №36

So my friends and thought that it would be fun to go rollerskating since we havent in the longest time. My brother finds this place and calls them to see when they were opened. The lady who answered said that they were opened from 6-8pm, so we decided to go. We got there at 5:58pm and decided that we could all just walk in and wait until they open at 6pm, especially since we saw another family walked in right before us. The man came to the door and told us that we could not go in yet since they dont open until 6pm. The staff was really rude and unfriendly. When given my rollerblades, the man gave me an attitude and a look. The man also gave an attitude to my brother and friends as well.Bring cash by the way! They do not take anything else! And be prepared to pay $.50 for a locker (one time locker so once you open it up, youll have to pay again to lock it). They do not allow you to wear hats, jackets, etc. while skating.Definitely will not be going back.

Review №37

Definitely not a place for beginners. No devices to help out for an older kid. More or less couldnt bring in our coats hats a purse. Yes i could help my 10 yr old on the floor but having broken toes afterwards isnt worth it because shoes arent allowed. NOT RETURNING OR RECOMMENDING

Re
Review №38

Rude staff outdated cash only admission. A lot of seating...but not a lot of room to move in the seating area. Tables not bolted to the floor resulting in an inexperienced skater attempting to catch themselves on the table only to have the table tip up causing potential injury to both skater and person seated at table.

Review №39

Very expensive! They charge $3.50 just to sit and watch!! Had to have EVERYTHING in a locker, even if you were sitting right there by your purse!!!!:( And then we thought maybe we will just put our stuff in there and not lock it but they come by every so often and check!! Very rude staff. I used to love skating when I was a kid, thought it would bring back good memories but was so scared of getting yelled at every two seconds to enjoy anything:( Should have went to St. Marys!!!

Review №42

This place is absolutely disgusting. My grandma and I went here because she hasn’t skated in so long and she wanted to have fun. My grandma sat down to take a small break until the owner Mary thought it was okay to snitch it away from her saying “you don’t need this”, and note that that was the last helping item. My grandma and I were really disappointed, we couldn’t have fun due to Mary’s behaviors. My sisters and I decided to try one more time, but this time we brought our own blades. Mary refused to let us skate in then due to how “dirty” they were, but little did she know our skates actually worked and was cleaner than their rusty, old skates. My younger sister was invited to go to the rola Rena for her school so we decided to go. I didn’t want to skate because of the past I had with these, I had all the items with me supervised. Mary came up and told me I had to put all my items in or I’m out. Mary is a really disgusting and disrespectful women, I don’t even get how they still have people come in.

Review №43

I will never bring my kids here again. The owner MARY was awful to my kids. My son and his cousin were skating with their knees together, apparently this is not allowed. But instead of giving them a warning she kicked them off the floor for the rest of the time. When my cousins mom asked her why the boys couldnt go back on the floor she said its not up for discussion and we all needed to leave and if we had a problem we could call the police! My son and her son feel terrible! They didnt know they were breaking any rules, they werent allowed a second chance, just a terrible experience! Never ever going back!

Review №44

Probably fine for beginning skaters and little kids. The No Speed Skating rule is overenthusiastically applied and killed a lot of the fun for the intermediate skaters in our group. We really werent going that fast and certainly werent being reckless. Well go somewhere else next time.

Review №45

I cant believe the poor reviews!! I take my 10 & 6 year old granddaughters when ever I have them for the weekend. I think that the ones that posted bad reviews are all related. The owner, Mary is extremely nice & yes she has rules!! There are all age ranges skating... who wants teenagers going as fast as they can around when you have little ones out there??? I for one like the way she keeps things under control.I was there last weekend when this person is talking about her things being put in a locker.... Mary wasnt even there!!! It was announced over the speakers that everything needs to be in lockers for safety reason... they announced it 5 times..... yes 5 TIMES.... finally they said whoever cant find their items to see staff cause it was locked in a locker. There were kids skating that night & they were out of control......... and as far as pricey??? not at all.............. I completely disagree with the poor reviews.So as I sit here submitting this we are getting ready to head to the ROLLER RENA to skate. Read the rules next time and you will have no reason to be mad.

Review №46

Extremely disappointed! I went there as a young child and had great memories from the place. I took my son there for his birthday and asked the owner (Mary), if they could just announce his name and call him to the middle when they sang Happy Birthday like they do with the other kids. But because he did not have an actual party there with friends, he was not allowed. This is unacceptable, as not all people can afford a large party. This was supposed to be a special day spent with my son, and we ended up leaving early.

Review №47

Absolutely horrible. This place is a complete dump. There was no room for anything . According to my sister and mother most of the stalls don’t have locks on them. And the skates we were given were all old and dusty. But the worst thing of all is the owner Mary . You will know who she is the second you go inside . Her list of “RULES” is insane . And for the most part stupid ! (She also doesn’t show you most of the rules. ) my brother and I were chased down and hollered at by Mary for going “too fast” we were left of with a final warning or we would be kicked out . But worst of all this female dog was grabbing little kids and throwing them to the ground . And proceeding to yell. Why you may ask? Because they weren’t doing the limbo right !!!!!!? All in all the place is a dump and is only in business because it’s the only rink around . If you have the choice DO NOT COME HERE.

Review №48

HORRIBLE! Brought our son for a birthday party so I was only there 20 minutes and I will never go back. Waited outside for 10 minutes in line while each person was screened before they were even let inside. Birthday party was at 1pm and doors opened not one minute before. So a 2 hour party was really 1 1/2 hours after all of the nonsense about placement of jackets and coats and the no carry in deal. Not to mention the place is dirty and dingy. Carpet was filthy actually. If you want to stay and watch your child skate, you have to pay the admission price! My son went to the counter to get his roller blades and when asked his size my son didnt know so he came and got me. I went up to the counter and told the man his size and he said, here you go, remember your size next time Rude service like that and they are still in operation? It actually amazes me people return, however we really dont have many options. What Green Bay needs is another roller skating rink.

Review №49

We have brought field trips here for years, no more. Books four parties, refuses to open early, so you have groups coming in at once with no order. Charges adults to watch their kids, all cash. I am sure the IRS is getting their share. Charges for song requests. Surprised she isnt charging for the toilets. Disappointed. Rude. Wont serve food if there are jackets on the chairs, but guess what, charges for the lockers... No idea of which party is which. Easier to board a plane than get in. Check out St. Marys.. Shame...

Wow, I am so surprised to read such bad reviews! Just goes to show you that you cant trust all you read and should really judge things yourself. We went a few weeks ago and have been back every week since. I only wish we had tried this place sooner. My kids absolutely loved going. The woman that owns the place is so sweet! I have never seen her without a smile on her face. She remembered us and made us feel very welcome. She encouraged me to let my daughter who is only 19 months try skates (for free her first time) so I did and she loved it! I couldnt believe how well she did. There are nice skate buddys for the kids to hold on to until they learn. I saw the owner giving instruction to many of the younger kids. The front carpeted area is not that large so yes people are asked nicely to pick up there things. I am sure this is for their own safety and cant understand why anyone would have a problem with that. We are going to book our daughters birthday party there. Cant say enough good about the experience we have had. I only wish they were open more.

I went there for my brothers birthday party, and we were all skating around. We decided to have cake and open presents. Mary(the owner) told us that we would have to eat outside since we didnt buy cupcakes from her. So we went to go eat outside and she then later came out and told us we either had to buy cupcakes from her or leave. So we ended up leaving. She is very mean and someone should buy her company. The service is poor and everything is expensive. I will never go there again!

Sounds like the two Kaisers(Emma & Mike) have the same review, but just changed the story a little bit. What are the chances that neither one of them know how to read? On the owners rule board it says that things should be put in a locker. Its a safety thing. They are dealing with children. The worst accident is the one that could have been prevented. Dont shoot the owner for looking out for safety! Geez! The place didnt seem that bad to me as long as you followed the rules. Its also just as expensive as anything else out there. Anybody eaten at the theater lately?

This place sucks!!! The messed up lady refused to let us in and it was 12:57, she said we cant come in until 1:00. So we waited outside and when we got in she made a big deal about who was with who and didnt know what was going on. She yelled at another party behind us because they brought in balloons. Then my niece (she is 3yrs old) was using the helper stand and the owner came and snatched it from her and made her fall. Then when we went to tell her that she was being rude she replied, bye and just went on her way as if we werent even talking to her. Then when it was exactly 3pm they shut the lights off on everyone, even the ones still on the skating floor. PLEASE SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN!!! An establishment like this should not be operating with this type of service.

Review №58

I have been here a few times despite being border line disappointed each time. The cost is relatively inexpensive compared to any other activities around but carry cash. I have witnessed Marys rudeness and it is usually unnecessary. Rules are fine but Mary acts more like a drill sergeant than a rule enforcer.This past Friday was the final straw though. I drove my two children twenty minutes to Rola-Rena for an end of summer hurrah. Upon arriving, another lady was sitting in her car in the parking lot and told us it was closed for the holiday weekend. Nothing was on their website about this. My kids had earned skating passes for the summer reading program. We were going to use them that night as it was the last night to use them because they were expiring. So I wasted 45 minutes driving, cant use the passes the kids earned and we were all disappointed this time.I think Ive given this place enough chances. Just not worth the effort. Ill try the one in Manitowoc next time.

Horrible place to have a B-Day party! Staff was rude. The cheap plastic skates gave my son blisters within 20 min. My guests were charged at the door on top of what I was paying for them to be there. They wouldnt let my friends with new babies have car seats or blankets out for them so they had to hold them the whole time they were there. The seats were chained together which causes injuries for 2 of the kiddos that came to the party. I couldnt believe how awful a place this was.

I have been here with my children 3 times and no more. this is place is dirty but the fact of the matter it is extremely rude employees. especially the lady named mary. everytime we go its like they are doing us a favor by allowing us to come in. first of all. we are paying to come in. we are not begging. second for a small business with so called small town business values as a another reviewer mentioned. well if this is small town values. please stop and get some new values. the way they treat the children and the parents is horrible. i will not go anymore. i thought maybe the first 2 times it was just that they were busy and maybe having a rough day but no. from reading the other reviews i can see i was not the only one. and being treated like crap 3 times is too many for us. please do not go and spend your hard earned money at this place. it is not worth it to be treated like beggars trying to come in to a filthy place.

I have no idea how this lady has remained in business. She violates every rule of customer retention: She is nasty to her customers, the facility is in disrepair and filthy, and I witnessed parents and children being verballyabused I witnessed three sets of parents being asked to leave in a single night, along with a host of crying children.Any organization that exposes children to this lady needs to be prepared for fallout the next day from upset, unsuspecting parents. If she werent the only game in town, there is no way this firm could survive. She has made her money on one and dones. I cant see how she could create significant repeat business.

I called the rink to inquire about the cost of admission. I was ok with the fact that anyone entering the building, skating or not, must pay a $3.50 admission fee.However, I was enraged and appauled at how the lady addressed a question I had about bringing our 6 month old son into her facility. I was not planning to skate but hold him and watch the rest of our family skate.She asked me what the purpose was of bringing a 6 month old to a family establishment like this. This would have been for my daughters birthday party and he is part of the family. Very unprofessional and rude way of dealing with a simple question.

There is an older woman (Mary) MARY IS HEEL ON WHEELS.---who must have been there since the place opened back in 62 who is very bossy rude and pushy. Im not sure if she owns the place?But she sure was skating around the place telling people what to do and when to open birthday presents,when to eat .like.. she paid for the party. Seating is all barred together making it a tripCentral for the kids and the adults and there is no accommodations for the adults to sit so if you like crawling over 5 childrens chairs bard together and falling on your face this is the place to go folks

Who let Mary out of the nut house? Did u know that if u say Mary in a mirror 3 times at night that Mary from the rola rena will appear and begin to bombard you with overpriced slushies? Shes the craziest person Ive ever met, she put my stuff in a locker without telling me. I spent half the time thinking someone stole my stuff. I asked Mary if she knew what one and she was extremely rude and absolutely no help to my situation. I ended up leaving the place with no shoes or jacket in a blizzard. Doesnt Mary understand the meaning of frost bite? She claimed someone was going to trip over my stuff, it was on a CHAIR, but hey, apparently in Marys mind people can trip over chair. Read 99% of the other reviews and they will agree that Mary is insane, she technically stole my things. This town needs another rola-rena almost as much as Mary needs some sanity. Never going here again.

I honestly was apalled at the low reviews. Clearly people are quite demanding of a small town place thay has offered fun times since 1972. I was a patron from 4 yrs old on. My aunt and her best friend frequented and worked at Rola Rena. Mary taught me, my sister and my cousins to skate. Even when i visited as a. Young adult she remembered me. She takes pride in her place and the nostalgia it brings back when people like myself return there. I noticed many complaints about rules and issues with group parties. My cousins all had bday parties and got to enjoy a day of fun. Mary is huge on fun and safety especially with kids. No coats, purses, etc on the floor because 90% of the people in the place including herself are on skates. Imagine the havok a zipper caught in a skate wheel could wreak on a skater! Someone mentioned chairs chained together. Also a safety thing. In the past the Rola Rena dealt with chairs being moved everywhere and kids fell over them. I noticed complaining about babies and children too young to skate. First, Mary loves babies but....dont bring them on or near the skate floor, car seats remain in the car (again a clutter hazard for skaters moving through), and the place never was meant for babies so changing them may be difficult. Little peanuts who cant skate may get in the way of skaters too. Its common sense, its best to get a sitter for the littles as this place is meant for skating. Lastly, cash only....yes its only cash. Mary only charges $3.50 for each person and $1 for skates or $2 for roller blades. You can bring your own (at least last i heard. I always did) and refreshments are cheap. She charges for song requests but shes always planned out the song list and skates and last i remember it was next to nothing. Usually the favorites are played anyway. Her lockers are a charge no different than swim lockers. She has them in some type as a courtesy really and has since I was 13....28yrs ago basically because people were stealing off benches. Its a fun place...harsh reviews are from those expecting too much. Its a kid place, skating and fun. If your kids enjoy it thats all that matters!

Place is a joke. Mary is insane. Took my daughters shoes and jacket from a chair and put it into locker and didnt know which one and wouldnt find her items because she didnt spend 50 cents on a locker. Ill never let any of my kids go there again.

The owner Mary took away the thing kids use to help them skate from a 4 year old boy and says he dosent need it because he is using the beginner skates she said “He’s using fisher price skates these are for kids with normal skates he needs to learn”.

It was fun, but I got blisters on my feet because of the roller blades. The place is not very clean, and when we got there the owner showed up late so we had to wait outside until she got there.

This place is awful. One of the instructors took away one of the beginner gates from my sister, who obviously needed it, and seconds later she fell back on her wrists and hurt them. We left, because my sister was hurt so bad.
