The rink was actually in somewhat decent shape in comparison to how others described it in their reviews, so that is not the reason I’m giving this experience a 1-star. I’m giving the experience a 1-star for how poorly managed and overcrowded the venue was. I understand it’s more of a “gimmick” than an ice skating experience and that it’s popularity skyrockets around the holidays, but I spent 40 minutes driving up and down the streets just to find parking. Mind you we came on a Monday, Dec 29th, late in the day at 8pm. Didn’t think parking would be an issue. Finally ended up having to settle for an underground parking garage that charged FORTY-FIVE DOLLARS PER HOUR?! That should be illegal. Especially when I’m already paying near $100 for ice skating for two people (I’m from Michigan and my buddies would laugh if they knew I spent more than $20 for ice skating). The parking made us 15 minutes late for our time slot but honestly I’m unsure what the point of time-slots are if you’re elbow to elbow with everyone else on the rink anyways. No room to even skate. Honestly just an overall frustrating experience.
