Great skating rink with an awesome public skate time in the evening. The staff are super helpful and encouraging lot, specially to young kids learning how to skate for the first time. They have a skater-tots time during the weekdays that is always a great activity for the kiddos, give them a great workout before nap time!
⭐ 1 star – Writing this TODAY from a clinic. Dangerous place with zero accountability I am writing this review TODAY from a medical clinic after being involved in a serious accident at this ice skating rink. While skating, there were children constantly cutting across the rink with absolutely no control, no clear rules, and no staff actively supervising the ice. At one point, a child suddenly crossed directly in front of me, and I had to jump to avoid running into him, which caused me to fall hard and violently. As a result, I suffered a direct impact to my elbow and my back. I am currently being evaluated because I likely fractured my elbow and injured my spine, or at the very least have severe inflammation and intense pain, which is not normal for a simple fall. When I spoke to the manager afterward, the response was completely irresponsible. I was told they do not have insurance, that the accident was my responsibility, and that the only thing they could do was refund my ticket for the day. There was no emergency protocol, no real assistance, and no genuine concern for my well-being. ⚠️ SERIOUS WARNING This place is unsafe, especially due to the lack of control over children on the ice, and they do not take responsibility when someone gets hurt. I will be sharing this experience across my personal accounts to make sure others are aware of the real risks before deciding to come here. A recreational facility should prioritize safety. This one did not. Think twice before coming — what’s supposed to be a fun outing can end in a medical clinic.
We came here with a group of 12 or so and occupied a few lanes. All the lights added to the fun. Our bowling shoes we rented were clean and new but the balls have been around a bit. We had a great time bowling.
The big windows to the ice rink are really nice, gives it an outdoor rink feeling. The rental skates were dull as to be expected but still manageable. The combination adult + public session is quite long and definitely can get your money's worth. They resurfaced 2X while I was there. If you are a lap skater just be aware that the figure skaters will be using all four corner face off circles, barely using the middle circle, I guess this is normal here but other rinks Ive been to, the figure skaters stayed towards the center so I felt bad for getting in their way several times, then tried making my laps a bit smaller which was kind of hard to do but seemed to help avoid collisions. Overall very good facility and staff, fun place to relax and get a little exercise
Weekdays are literally empty, we went from office a group of 6 with reservations but place is full open. No one on the bowling alley. Price is on the higher side. Since we did the reservation they were not flexible enough to change the times even it is totally empty. No food, shoes are provided for additional cost. Not so great environment. Runs on stand fans and it’s hot inside without much air circulation.
