What a great place my son George and I have been going here for over 11 years. The best part but the experience is to watch all these great kids in our community enjoying good clean fun that they would say otherwise be involved in negative aspects of our community. This place is great for the kids in our community!

My kid had a great time with her friends they offer lessons and it is as safe as can be expected for a large area if you have little ones they offer most sizes and everyone is treated equal

It was pretty crowded there tonight. There were a lot of speed skaters who were not respectful of others, just there to skate leisurely. I did not see the rental skates being disinfected upon return. This is standard procedure at other rinks I have been to. There was quite a bit of shady activity. I did not even feel safe sending my children to the restroom. The owners apologized. He said he is trying to clean the place up. He stated he has gotten rid of the guns, knives and drugs.

Great atmosphere. Pretty clean. One of the hand dryers doesnt work tho. Just know that you can only use cash at the snack bar and although they recommend face masks, most people dont wear them. Also, they have vending machines now one with some chips and candy as well as some drinks like gatorade and the other with sodas. So if you dont want to risk it I would say dont go because it gets packed like it used to be for Quarantine.

TruLife Church on Sundays with Pastor Mike Kirby is life changing for all who attend.The experience of worship while on a skating rink floor with live music, and a Praise Team leading music fills my Spirit every Sunday.Come join us and see!!

Very nostalgic. Wish they had more seats and benches. The skating floor is smooth. Only thing that I found that was too excessive was the large amount of unchecked teenagers that dont understand the concept of personal space. Still worth going even with that issue.

Rebecca is a WONDERFUL instructor and the lessons are so affordable! My son loved it.

Awesome, well run skate rink. All age groups and all well behaved. Well looked after too including outside! Fun!

Had a great time its been 20 years since I skated..only wish they had an adult only night

Skate mania is a family friendly venue, great staff, great music and games, plus thats the Ocala Roller derby teams home rink.They have great derby events at Skate Mania be on the lookout for their annual toys for tots scrimmage

Pay to get back in dats dum

Under new management and they have made great improvements on cleanliness, conditions & safety. Awesome place to skate! I practice 3x a week here with the roller derby team and a fun friday night skate.

Nice place to go watch derby games and support the local team. Friendly atmosphere. Bring your own beach chair or just stand on the outskirt of the court for a better view.

PDA. We have been trying to enforce the rules on the PDA with the young kids because they are literally sitting on top of each other, touching each other inappropriately, and laying on top of each other. This is not OK at Skate Mania. Im very sorry if it offends anyone by us asking you to stop doing this.On the other hand holding hands is fine!!Tyler on the new staff being aggressive and saying you cant come back in when you leave is because we battle with minors getting dropped off and leaving the property to go up to the Dunkin Donuts or leaving with other people and there parents have no clue of this happening. Then the parents get very upset with us. I am very sorry if they thought you were a minor and we will do a better job at asking people to show ID if they need to go outside for whatever reason if we are not sure that they are under age.Our goal is to clean up Skate Mania and make it a very safe place for all families to visit and be comfortable with leaving there kids at our Skating Rink. We hope that everyone will love all the new changes and improvements!!

I went to skate mania On February 22nd and the new owners are still very aggressive twords their customers, theyAggressively told me that if I went outside I would have to pay to get back in or don’t. Come back at allThe people who work here are very aggressive towards children and adults, I do not recommend sending your kids here

Place has gone down hill. Sad to see a place from my childhood take a turn for the worst. Roof was leaking right on the floor. 2 employees try to run the whole. Place with birthday partys going on. My child hurt herself and we had to get our own ice. Most likely wont go back.

I havent been in a public skate session, only for lessons on Saturday morning before matinee. Rebecca is a great teacher and the environment is great! I am a young adult and the rest are younger kids, but there is a welcoming atmosphere no matter the age. I would recommend coming here for lessons.

Amazing place for teens Ive been going since I was 5 and its not ideal for smaller children without a parent there with them.

I went to my friends birthday party and it was awesome they took our requested songs and everything they were amazing I love this place!

I love this place and have been going there for over 7 years now but I hate the new owners I get the whole PDA thing but its like people cant even hold hands without being called on for because of PDA

It was great, i think they should be more understanding of when children make mistakes but other than that its an amazing facility.

The floor is less bumpy than some other places. The 7p security staff do an excellent job, working to keep teenaged tension in control. Very nice experience at night.

So Ive wanted to visit a few open skates, before I review. Im giving 2 stars, while it has the potential, to be a great place. It lacks in cleanliness, and control of young visitors. On multiple visits, Ive had to scrape gunk from my wheels. The snack bar looks like something, from an old horror movie. Ahhhh the young crowd, I watched a young man bullied, by a group obviously much older. The amount of cussing I from the young crowd, was absurd. Absolutley run a muck, and nothing seemed to be done about it. I pick this place, over skate away south, due to its size. The flooring, once cleaned, is amazing. Not a family atmosphere unfortunately though. The best thing about skate mania? The roller derby, on the weekends.

Such a great family experience every time we go!

From having my daughters birthday party here to a night skate session to even a family skate during the weekend. This place has it all. The snack bar has decent food and the rink is very nice to skate on.

Had fun wish they took debit cards by the drinks n food... Pizza was good!

Had a nice time nice music friendly people great customer service

Great place to take the kids and grandkids! They provide for birthday parties too!

This place is such a nice place to relax and chill

It was a nice place for kids to hangout. Considering that I havent been there since I was in middle school.

Staff were friendly and the price for a birthday party with items/food included were fair. The bathrooms are gross and no soap available to wash your hands... The roller skates smelled like vomit... They should sanitize skates at the end of the day to help prevent this problem. Overall not bad. If you skate a lot I recommend buying your own rollerskates.

The summer camp program is great. Affordable and well run.

Good but need to sanitize their skates more

Same as it used to be awhile ago. Still extremely hot and not many ways to cool off. You cant re-enter so dont count on it. Drinks arent really expensive. But not that bad I guess.

Fun if you have kids

I LOVE THAT I GET SEE MY FRIENDS EVERY FRIDAY SO THATS FUNNNNNNN!

My daughter loves to skate. I dont like that too many young people leave skates out of place.

Very fun with my friends

It’s the best place to go if you go on Friday and Saturday night and the place is clean fun to be with friends the drinks food and snacks are amazing go customer service I love that place.

The costomer service was amazing. A great environment for the kids. Everything was spotless and the music was wonderful. Nothing but great things.

Fun place!

I have gone to this place since I was a little girl and I can not believe how downhill it has gone.To begin, when you enter the small entrance room to pay you have to wait in a long and slow moving line as you stand shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of strangers.Once inside the set up is really sloppy and cramped; the entrances to get on the rink are small and and packed with people. The main rink itself is large with a carpeted railing which is great. And while skating they have many activities available through the session. The floors are dirty and by the end of the skating session skates and garbage are everywhere.One good thing is that they do have a small rink for beginners and young children. The food court/ snack bar is unorganized, but, the service is good. The skate return and pick up area is nice with friendly service. The bathrooms were probably the worst and scariest part of the whole experience, the ladys bathrooms are disgusting and the stall walls are sticky. I was told that the mens bathrooms were no better with a sticky and pee covered floor.All in all, I suggest having a better cleanup crew and redecorating for a more roomy building.

The floor was big but dirty. Felt a little disappointed after coming from Hudson to an event that was advertised for over a month. The music wasnt very good except once or twice when the DJ was skating on the floor. He could at least played some popular music. It would have been better.

Good price but Saturday is a bad time to take the young children. Lot of young kids in their making out and acting a fool. Bad atmosphere because of the younger generation that is being brought up. I would be ashamed to be the parents who just dropped their kids off every weekend unattended. Maybe we will try again on a Sunday after church

Unfortunately there are only 2 places left to skate in Ocala. I grew up at Skate Mania and so is my 15 year old. They need more supervision there. It has the skating rink atmosphere, but again is not properly managed. Ive heard of numerous fights, even the ceiling leaking on the rink floor and reports of pot being smoked in restroom. I know its fun to hang out there, but again it is not safe. There needs to be more supervision.I love that rink and love to skate there, but it is poorly managed.

Awesome place! Kids had a blast

So fun to hang out with friends

Skate mania is better than skate away south

Im very familiar with skating rinks, me and my wife both are roller derby participants. The floor is nice could use a cleaning and recoating. The real issue here is how wild the kids are, cursing, making out between gaming machines. A floor ref would benefit them greatly. I have 2 younger kids so bringing them here is difficult, otherwise staff is always nice and on slower nights is a great place.

Love it here!!

I basically grew up here. I went here for daycare and now i go skate with friends. Its very nice to see the same people that worked there when i went to daycare there. Just going back there brings up so many amazing childhood memories! That is my all time favorite place to go!

Has lots of religious signs, flags and statues so if you are bothered by being surrounded by Christian phrases and symbols, then possibly reconsider going. Besides the little bit of decor, the place isnt that bad. You should check out the roller derby team that plays games here. Its super awesome to watch.

Concession staff were inappropriate and told us they didnt have enough cups when we ordered pitchers of drinks. Could be cleaner and smell better.

This is a place runned by kids for kids . in every corner of this building there were teenagers grabbing each other inappropriately and making out . There was maybe 2 adults in staff . everything else was runned by kids . The place is a mess cause obviously when are teenagers organized . Music is old , 2 updated songs and they were from 2016 possibly . The only good thing about this awful building was that they had a beginner section for people learning to skate . But Never going back

The staff is pleasant. They seem to be trying to improve the facilities within the last year. But maintenance is somewhat lacking. For instance I dont think that the skating surface is cleaned after every session as it should be. I have to clean my wheels constantly. The snack bar area as well. However they did finally get rid of that accident waiting to happen tile in the snack bar area. I have yet to see a staffed floor guard here in the last few months that I have been skating here. The DJ really needs to increase his song or album collection. The music he plays most of the time isnt what I would consider skating music. The manager does care about your skating experience and does seem to take care of things brought to his attention.

Been going to this place for some time now,last nightwas MY LAST time taking my kids,They keep on moving the tables around and now have all the booths end to end so you have to get twelve people to move to get out. BRILLIANT! What happens is all the rude FETUS teenagers just jump over the back and while doing so spilled my daughters drink WE JUST PAID FOR . and when we said something to the Girl who jumped she was rude. There is seemingly nobody in charge,the music sux,the DJ comes on every time with rules but you cant understand a word he says. the PA system is so bad. just post the rules people on the wall Idiots! I am 50 years old ,been around this place is a joke ,its filthy dirty,the food bar is disgusting and they dont even ever have whats on their own menu. Maybe if they were to clean the place up,put the tables back like a NORMAL place would,get some adults on site, play music that is not whatever the hell you call what they have now! club, Techno The black girls came in and took over half our table space and didnt mind that we had our stuff there ,one was sneaking KFC in her backpack ,eating it and left a mess, I mean Shocker there ... Bottom line is HORRIBLE place,The parking lot is even a joke no lines people just park all over the place no rime or reason. DONE !

It could be a better place for the whole family. Had a decent time recently with my 5yr old, we were there with a larger group for a party, but there are a lot of unsupervised teens, with no regard for anyone else, but we know thats not the rinks fault, of course. Im guessing theres not a ton of money in skating rinks these days. The restrooms and their community sinks are in a big need of a renovation. Although, you should expect to get hot skating, the a/c seemed like it was all but turned off. This entire location should be renovated big time, top to bottom, and staffing improved/increased.

Great fun, great prices. My kids had a blast. Great way to get your kids off the phones and give them some good exercise.

Great place for my kids to hang out with and without me .. My kids go every weekend and have a blast.

Its still the Cleanest sport around!!! Kool....

Decent place for rollerskaters to have some fun. Rollerblades are allowed. DJ keeps things moving with various theme skates and games. Small area for skaters who are just starting out, kinda like a kiddie pool for roller skates. Lots of seating for the non-skaters. Rink can get crowded at times, making it a little more difficult for less accomplished skaters, but everyone is courteous and respectful.

I went to watch roller derby and it was very cool!

I honestly wish I could have given this place a zero star rating. First off let me mention the skates. I had to try on 9 pairs of skates. The reason being was the wheels, skates, and equipment are outdated. Some people dont mind this but it is a safety concern. Seems like they havent purchased new skates in 20 years. Second off, every time I am there, there are like two food items made. They dont make any food and when they do it is a small amount. Thirdly, the lack of staff I was waiting on another pair of skates when nobody was in the back for about 5 minutes when I actually proceeded to go back there myself and get my own skates. The music they play can be inappropriate at times. This is by far the worst skating place I have ever been to in terms of service and quality. I will not be returning.

Awful

I ordered a pair of skates from Skate Mania for a costume. They were to be in today. When I called to find out if they were in, I learned that the manufacturer had failed to ship on time and they wouldnt be in until next week. I need them tomorrow. Jason, Kevin and the rest of the staff were incredibly accommodating. They loaned me a pair of rental skates for the weekend, even going over and above to change the wheels so they would match my costume.I cant say enough about the wonderful service and friendly staff. Truly a pleasure.

Great staff, they make you feel like family. We always have a great time here.

This place sucks. The music sucks. The guy that runs the place is a pill head. There selection of snacks at the food stand and I say stand because thats what you do for about 20 min waiting for something to eat. Pizza and pretzels and maybe French fries thats your choices. Skating rules are not enforced people skating in the wrong direction and old skates I think there from the seventys. I could go on longer but I want to get to this last point....... Warning do not buy skates from them they take forever. Now jay thats what will call him for short will tell you its his supplier but Im telling you thats B.S..... I think he takes the money and takes care of his habit and then blames it on the supplier. Look the place sucks dont go Ive lived here a long time and the place has gone to hell....

So much fun. Took my kids here and had a blast

It sucked because they do not serve beer

Excellent place to take your kids for a good time....

We have fun with our grand daughter and friends

Great time. Great service

Great place and great aftercare.

Fell on my ass a few times. fun doe.

Love to hang out and talk to my friends

It is really fun i love it and it is the best place ti hangout with friends

Fun for middle school aged kids since that is probably the only age youll find there. The place could use a few fixes inside for safety and hygiene.

Had my daughters 1pth birthday tonight. The staff was very helpful

It is my favorite place to skate.But I guess that is not saying a lot because I love skating.

Best place to go on Friday, well I know most people that go there. Some drama but thats once in a while. $7.50 for one person but all nighter is $20

The staff was cool and even helped me pick out a new pair of skates. Bought my skates and had fun with my kids.

Appears to be failing. Staff was nice. Rink was empty.

Its a fun place to go to and hang out with Friends

Dirty!! Never going back

Our family of 4 had the privilege of spending New Years Eve in the Ocala area and we chose to spend the evening at Skate Manias lock down. Being our family has prior experience with rink operations, we are quite often a group of rather tough critics, but I must say that Skate Mania runs a very family oriented operation. Most rinks we have visited in the past decade have given in to playing music which is very crude and what I would deem as inappropriate. Skate Mania played upbeat, very hip, cool with the kids and pleasing to the parents music the entire night! We were VERY impressed! Kids will be kids, but the owners, manager, security and skate guards were on top of their game and fun was obviously had by all. The snack bar had plenty of pizza and drinks for the kids. The skates were well maintained. - It was wonderful to see there really are family oriented rinks which still exist in our country! - And while there, we discovered that several of the Olympic hopefuls this year, headed for Sochi, Russia, had their beginnings at Skate Mania ... very impressive! This speaks volumes of the love for skating being instilled in the little ones! - Our family hopes to visit again whenever we head south to Florida again, but in the mean time, this family of generational rinkrats and rink owners, highly recommends this rink as a great source of fun and exciting family entertainment!!! - Wed give 10 Stars if we could!!! - .... NC Mountain Rink Rats

Good to skate

Floor needs to be waxed. Not enough employees working there. We had stuff stolen from there. The manager didnt try to help my kids. Heard they had to close bathroom because kids were doing drugs there. Not a good family place.

I love this rink it is family friendly and is a fun place to hangout with friends

Nice inexpensive fun friendly staff

Floor is in poor to fair condition and over all didnt find the place that clean.

I go every Friday it’s the best

The music was bad and the floor was really dirty. No plans soon to visit again

Fun with kids

Cool for younger kids

Its the best skateing ring ever its huge

Good facilities, good price, we had a nice party.

Skate mania is really fun. I learned how to skate here 2!

Place is good for birthdays, plus this is fun to go

The young man that waited on me and my grandkids didnt do right..he had kids skipping others in line and giving them service before others

It was okay.
